^_^ it's a good one. Jjakji played much worse than normal for whatever reason, being involved in the GSL and about to play possibly 2 seperate Code S toss isn't exactly an implausible reason for why his play was so untypical of his usual game. | ||

You know what? He didn't perform well because he was nervous! LOL  | ||

Gotta wonder why Jjakji one-based the first few games when he won most of the macro ones -.- Has to do with the trends of TvP lately, and HerO's playstyle. HerO tends to play on the knife's edge in the mid-game, since he's so busy teching to everything. | ||

Or it could be that Jjakji is being hyped up wayyyyy harder that he deserves to be. Fantastic player, but I still feel he isn't as good as he is hyped up to be. Edit: Also gratz to Hero! :D | ||

He's a nice guy who cares for his fans and who is actually a top class Protoss, what has he ever done to you guys? -__- He is a protoss. Everybody has haters based on what races they play. Can't wait for tree.huggers write up, something like "Heavily favored code S champion Jjakji gets beaten by HerO!!!". | ||

I was thinking about this. It's possible that he held back strategies he would've used otherwise so they wouldn't be exposed for his Code S opponents. Not trying to take anything away from Hero, I'm very glad he won, just thinking that Jjakji may have had his eye on the big money. | ||

I disagree, being due to play 2 protoss players in code S is an extremely legit excuse to not show what you are capable of and instead reveal false weaknesses, as legit as an excuse gets, up there with collapsed lung. | ||

Personally I feel that Jjakji is a bit overhyped even though he has a GSL Code S title. I agree, the finals were very good but his way to the final was not very convincing. In the group stages he lost to Killer and then rebounded with wins over SuperNova and Virus. His secound group stage involved getting stomped by MVP and then getting the walk-over over CoCa into a TvT win over the mediocre Gumiho(TvT Speaking). After that he beat Puzzle, Oz and Leenock to grab the title, those three are of high calibre. Still he had quite an easy path to the finals. | ||

Honestly if players want to hide builds in "B-tier tournaments" and preserve their A-Game they either shouldn't play in them or it shouldn't be used as an excuse. You can't have it both ways. | ||

Can't wait for tree.huggers write up, something like "Heavily favored code S champion Jjakji gets beaten by HerO!!!". I'll just quote all the people in the first few pages though, everyone who watches HerO knows that he beats Jjakji like a rented mule on ladder. | ||

Beating Puzzle and Oz to quite easy path to the finals??????? Puzzle and Oz probably #1 #2 Toss players in this scene both have fantastic PvT,and leenock best ZvT along with DongRaeGu. Jjakji's path to finals was quite tought. | ||
