Once he had emp those templars he should have stutter step immediately that's way more effective than a stupid concave which screams: hit me hit me...

Well to be fair I love the battle hellion idea. Warhound is still so meh. If we were all interested in a-move units the collosus and roach wouldn't be continually voted as most boring units in the game.
Units like Oracle, Battle hellion, Viper and MShipCore are totally in the right direction. Speed Hydra, Warhound, regen Reaper and Tempest all seem like silly units =S

I am nearly 100% sure the lack of mules lost him that game. an other point is that creator used a build which was greedier than the safe standard play from Jjakji. that doesn't help :'(
Jjakji needs someone to teach him how important workers are, it's not the first time I see him lose due to small amount of workers made, in fact it's a common thing for him, he lost against Parting this way despite roflstomping him each and every battle, eventually he lost because he had no econ, harassing him makes it even worse because he doesn't remake lost scvs either, at least he didn't vs Parting.

It makes no sense to have less than 70 workers, especially when he spends so many scans all the time. There's no way of justifying that. Why has nobody told the guy?!?

i also think jjakji needed more marines believe it or not, he just needed more dps marauders do nothing vs zealot archon
really risky getting a lot of marines though because if you get the emps off you can do really well but if 1-2 good storms hit...

TvT has always been a great match up.

Pretty sure Byun never ever gets more then 65 workers in his TvP, and builds a bunch of OC's to drop mules to compensate for this.

Agreed, sub-70 workers is actually the extreme terran lategame where you're already super entrenched and switching into the terran death army. If you're not already floating money and making battlecruisers then you should be 70-ish workers.
As a Jjakji fan, I've too often seen him lose an army without the economy to support a re-build.
