I don't understand taeja at all, if he'd just been making shit he could do something. I mean, 6k min 1.5k gas, and only 100 supply. Build a couple more starports/barracks, you have room dammit.

He might still accomplish something since jookto is doing nothing with his money either, but jeez...

jookto is much more puzzling. Bottom island basically had around 6 marines and 2 turrets for 10 mins and he had enough gas for what 20 mutas? Instead he gives a free base and spends 15 mins trying to defend from two points.

if taeja loses then because of fungal hitting 100 units always. And omg this map mined out in a bit wtf.

and oh yeah, those tumors are invisible to the players, probably Taeja really didn't know and because the overlord was putting creep down maybe he thought it would be the ovi, haha wonderful mind game by jookTo if intended, but i doubt it.

If you watch him vs. Jinro, even though Jinro has some slight build order wins in the early game, Alive just has better macro or something. I don't really understand how on the Ohana or Cloud Kingdom game that he got such a huge worker and production advantage other than Jinro had some slight inconsistency in his macro that Alive didn't have, and such a fine edge at pro-level really grinds out into a decent advantage, which Alive then uses to secure victory with superior engagements (ignoring the fact that Jinro kind of messed up both engagements in those games).

Game 3 his banshee just did more than my banshee did... And I fucked up the final fight hugely by not being in position and not having killed my rocks pre-emptively =/

Game 1 I did an IdrA-vs-MMA level GG almost.

Seriously, this game is just a big f*****g joke. Feels like they gave thier comp to their coach and let them finish their way. Never seen such poor micro since the sc2's beta... oO

I feel like Zergs is still so underexplored in terms of "tactics", for so many minutes JookTo was just "making more ultras", getting fungals and making ultras. That cant be all there is to Zerg.

Well he did have a spire etc. He just didn't switch. If he had switched to broodlords or gotten a nidus that game would of been 20-30 minutes shorter.

wtf was that... gota be one of the worst games i have ever seen. jookto waits 5 mins before starting greater spire then doesnt make a single broodlord, even when the terran had only marines and no vikings. doesnt even try to scout what the terran had on the bottom island which was nothing.

Game 1, Taeja floated to the islands and had cloaked banshees. Jook-to only had a single hatch + quenn and gg'ed.

While that burrowed bane play from Jook was sexy, I have to admit, every game there except for the second where jookto got a significant early lead, Taeja just looked SO much more solid. The dude's a complete complete beast at the TvZ and his positioning on EVERY map was impeccable, as were his marine spreads. I literally don't know how you can deal with that as zerg, Jook seemed to set up his flanks correctly and everything. I think it mainly came down to the fact that Taeja was able to get his positions and Jook wasn't like DRG, charging in when he thought he was ready, he never seemed sure of himself, and that just cemented Taeja's positions. Was a great series to see from a T perspective, and I think jook can learn alot about his ZvT from those gmaes
