Perhaps when he does this on LAN. Impossible to win TvZ if you can't micro.

I think the Team Liquid forum is suffering from a classic case of "follow the leader" syndrome. There was very little fanfare surrounding Jjakji when he got through Ro32 and Ro16 (didn't really deserve any, his games weren't very convincing) and his victories over Puzzle and Oz got lukewarm responses compared to Leenock's path. But after Tastosis praised the crap out of his series vs Leenock, people became convinced that he would maintain that high level of play all the time. Suddenly he became this godly unbeatable player with perfect TvZ. Everyone forgot how weak his TvT could be and that it would be humanely impossible to maintain that level of play in every single match, every single series. He always had great TvZ but the Leenock series really showcased how great it was when combined with his good preparation.

Undoubtedly lag is playing a role in the poor micro we've seen so far. But he's lost to Code B Protosses Finale and Younghwa in KSL events. He looked very mortal against Jookto, almost lost to a resurgent Ace, was beaten by TheStC and got rolled by Ganzi. Now that Jjakji is a proven champion he is also a worthwhile target, and people will be dedicating time to figuring out his playstyle. None of this applies to the showmatch occurring right now, but don't be surprised if he turns in some disappointing performances in the next few months.

And would it hurt a little to give Nerchio some credit?

I would just like to say that I was a big Jjakji fan for a while just because I watched the ESV Weekly a lot, but I really, really got pumped when he did the Thor/Banshee/Raven style vs Puzzle (even though it's not the best style). I know that after his play in the finals he got a lot of fans, but I was consistently Liquibetting for him (mainly because I always Liquibet on some random Terran, worked with Byun and TOP! ^^). I don't think that Jjakji is the best, but his games are really fun to watch because he has the mechanics of a Korean but he does strategies that foreigners do a lot.

That's so nice how Nerchio is keeping 6 to 8 corruptors just to deal with the upcoming production of vikings, Jjakji was never able to get enough of them to deal with these broodlords.

Sounds really simple, but how many times i saw pros lose 10 broodlods just because they move out without corruptors, and getting their Infestors EMP'ed.
