Good job predicting that Jjakji would have forgot both concussive shells and combat shields. You truly are a wizard. =P

To be fair, creator forgot charge with a fuckton of zealots.

Jjakji blind countered Creator's style if anything, just because Creator does pretty much the same thing every game vs Terran. 1 rax CC CC into double eng bay, slightly delayed starport is about as good a macro opening as you could have vs Creator's style.

Solid? His play was risky as hell, especially as his first Observer got immediately denied... Third before Colossus while on 3 gates, dual forge while he didn't even know if JJakji was going some kind of 2-bases push (Marine/Tanks comes to mind), Colossus range finished at 14'... His blind risks paid off because JJakji was so passive (and it happened that he went dual expand), but I wouldn't call this “solid” with the zero intel he had until some point (I guess his second Observer scouted JJakji's plan).

Marine/tank is not very good at all on Daybreak, because of the large rush distance and the path to the natural. Therefore, it's quite common to be able to rule that out on this map.
Creator's 2nd observer also saw everything he needed to. If it saw a bio push coming, he had more than enough time to cancel the nexus and throw down a few cannons. It saw everything at 9:05. For reference, the most common bio push, the 2 ghost timing, hits a bit before 10:00 on normal maps, probably around 10:00 on Daybreak.

Khaldor didn't show it, but I think Creator actually had 3 Observers. Of those 3, two were picked off but the middle one got in and saw shit. He also saw Jjakji's MMM ball with his first Observer, so he knew anyway that there wasn't some Marine/Tank push.

Also, if you are that good, you can probably judge from the unit composition what build you opponent went, especially vs Terran where there are only a few standard 2base builds.

Creator actually made 4 observers before any colossi, 2 of which got sniped immediately.
