Agh... Jaedong vs Maru was the epithome of what I hate about this game. Just a tiny timeframe of few seconds is enough to determine a whole game, which might have been perfectly even up to that point.
You played toe-on-toe with your opponent for 19 minutes? Who cares!
Opponent engages while you are thinking about your next steps: you lose the game!
Opponent engages while you are managing multiple harasses: you lose the game!
Opponent engages while you are back home powering: you... lose... the... game...!
(And no, this is not balance whining, both protoss and zerg have their good share of it in their silly mothership + vortex vs broodlord/infestor battles. I've seen several games where either party lost because they where focused on something else at the crucial time.)

The Jaedong vs Maru game was not over in an instant, Maru was dominated the entire length of the game as Jaedong established and maintained map control. Maru was pinned to his base by Jaedong's attacks.

You guys have to admit Maru was pretty damn careless in that last huge engagement JD played really good

Exactly, you don't go, "I'm on creep against Infestor, Bane. Let's unsiege all my tanks and run next to a wall."

Oh man. Sorry, clicked the wrong button.
Anyway, wasn't able to watch the games. Grats to the winners.

Prime so weak recently. Hope they make it back to the top!
GJ EG for capitalizing!

Pretty surprised about the results, to be honest. Didn't expect Puma to perform that well (didn't see the games, but he did beat Creator and Byun).
Also, Thorzain really has a knack for beating players named Classic, huh?

Thorzain beating MKP dayumm....
|
DANG Thorzain beating MKP and Puma beating muthafuggin CREATOR?! O___O
Whoaaaa.

Except the game wasn't anywhere close to even. Jaedong was ahead in tech, was up 2 bases, and was ahead on upgrades (not completely sure on that one, but I'm pretty sure he was). Add to the fact that Maru put his army right on the edge of JD's creep giving him absolutely no chance to react if Jaedong engaged. That attack sealed the game, but JD was already significantly ahead at that point in the game.

Don't think you should read that much into it, the games were played halfway through december I think. EG practicing like mad for proleague, eSF getting their yearly month off in because aside from the blizz cup there was nothing left to play for.
EG looked strong nonetheless.
