If the zerg spreads his creep well enough you take soo much time before being able to take your fourth? The three base terran play and constantly denying the zerg's fourth while taking your fourth is pretty good vs Zerg. The problem with Antiga for terran is that once the creep gets to the fourth, it can be extremely hard to take, and the map is very small, meaning Brood Lords can cover you really well.

JD's ZvT is pretty grim =/

What? He played a pretty terrible game. And actually, I think ByuN is one of the most underperforming players that get hyped up by other progamers. You and I are now mortal enemies. Be prepared.
Haha, I come in peace!

Then they do the randomization based off the 4 tiers. I would assume in the next day or two probably

O MAN JD!!!!!
There are three ways to loose against a terran as zerg. THREE!
1. The terran is taeja, flash or MVP (Lucifron if you are in EU) 2. Hard Cheese 3. Attacking forteited positions when everybody expects exactly THIS to happen....
F**K

So that means, only esf players (and players who were there at the first season of the GSL !) in the last season of WoL ?

yeah and i blame tasteless. Every single time he is casting antiga he brings out his analytical superpowers and says that "its a tough map for zerg because its sooo hard to take a 4th".

and with all due respect to gom, fuck this round robin bo1 model. Jaedong is heavily jetlagged and not used to being jetlagged he 4-2 MC in convincing fasion if you cvan dot aht you deserve code S And the day before that, MC took down Jaedong 3-1, and the day before that, MC defeated Jaedong 1-0. the 1-0 matters not at all its one game
the 3-1 jsut means that A) JD had jetlag and B) shows how terrifyingly fast JD is improving
watching the finals showed how much JD improved within the series

It should also be somewhat drawn out for a couple of other reasons:
- Last WoL season. They have some time to play before HotS release - Production for Code S. Decent intros, player intros, etc now that everything is decided. - Some more time to create hype with a decided player list so they start with some numbers on their side as opposed to rushing into it and people go "Wait, who's doing what now?" - Arranging schedules for any players that make requests accordingly. For players who want to make requests only a couple of days before, I'm sorry you'll fall to Code B irrespective of the amount of hype you've built.

No code s player throws infestors/baneling in a way jaedong does. Admit it dude, Jaedong isnt code s level. He has been given two chances and blew both of them. Whose fault is it?Think about it

The three base terran play and constantly denying the zerg's fourth while taking your fourth is pretty good vs Zerg. You can't take your fourth because of the creep. And three base terran ain't enough to deny the zerg fourth, as shown in this game. ByuN was even ahead in upgrades lol.

woah, iam probably one of the few that is actually glad that Jaedong didnt make it. never liked that fanboy hype around him and hes clearly weaker than the people make him. (same applys to Flash)
so glad for Byun, opterown should be happy ^^

It would be a shame that a player with like 50-55%winratio in proleague would qualify for code S when the aces could not.
