Read Thorzain's interview on how he says that build is completly vulnerable, and it's pretty much auto-win for the zerg. Try to do it against an experienced player that knows terran inside and out and he's gonna roll over you.
There is no way you can recover from that point, lifting is indeed the best option so you don't lose production. Props to Morrow for doing the right thing, this reaction should be as normal as bunkering/wall after seeing a 6pool

You dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out really. If you smell the banelings rolling, just throught a SHIT TON of stuff up at your ramp to block it. Bunkers, raxes, ebays, EVERYTHING.
1) Techlab barracks should be in the back while an engineering bay block the wall + 2 rax. 2) A couple marauders to remove a-moving completely. 3) After first bust put the factory in front. 4) Huge blunder by letting 5-10 scv's die to stray 3 banelings at the end of the first bust.
These are not giant blunders by Jinro. But it would have helped him a lot.
Jinro only got himself to blame, doing exact same build as in first game, getting greedy early and looking for drop play. If he had held the bust then sure, the build would be good, but 3 rax defending a baneling bust will never happen.
Use the 3 Rax to block your ramp sure, but for the love of all that is holy cut marine production and get seige tanks to defend the bust....Sure your drops will be later, but you would still be in the TSL3 too.
Very dissapointed, 2 GSL "stars" (i'm Terran Jinro is my hero) getting humiliated.
Koshi may be right, 2 Engi bays infont of the Rax would've helped too if you dont want to cut marine production for Tanks.
Sorry guys, but calling him a "Beast" for doing a baneling bust is stupid. He got away with a silly all-in that doesn't even take much finesse to execute, due to Jinro being a bit greedy. That's it. He didn't outplayed Jinro. This kind of play will become extinct pretty soon, Terrans will probably start doing a double wall off or something.

Way to punish? Jinro had to do that to SURVIVE the all-in.
rofl.
I can understand people being happy for MorroW for winning, but I'm extremely disappointed in him doing it in that fashion after such an entertaining game 2. He just killed that series' excitement for me.
Wrong. He have to do that to win. Jinro late game is too good and morrow know this and he would have better odd of winning baneling bust and punish Jinro for FE. It's the correct play. Morrow is playing to win not to entertain people. Same thing he did in IEM with reaper abuse. I can't blame the guy for wanting the $.
The 3rd game baneling bust worked because of the fake 3rd, i guess Jinro would've bunkered up had he not seen the drone moving in the beginning. Exciting series, exciting day, loving the tsl!
