Metabolic Boost also greatly adds to the power of Lings late game although that's pretty much a given. | ||

He has no teammates either to have efficient/optimal preparation/practice for tournaments...Is he a genius? Nada? I mean he still goes to school fulltime as well... He plays on KR and practices with his ex-TSL teammates | ||

If that's how it goes, whatever group gets Rain or Taeja will be the groups of death. Duckdeok's hardly group of death material | ||

Just tank mines with free units and then kill the rest with ling/baneling. | ||

I don't think micro will swing the mine efficiency too much one way or another and with better control it should favor the T anyway. | ||

Like does each group have to have at least 1 of NA, EU and KR? Or is it just group leaders then random draw? I believe the seeding shall be like in WCS S1 finals: 1st place of each region in his own group and last group goes to runner-up of host region. After that random seeding, based on seeding 1 player of each region in a group (i.e. players from 2 other regions) and then finishing it with random remaining player on last spot in group. | ||

I really love the way Jaedong played, but I believe his trades weren't effective enough compared to the economy difference. I still also believe that mules/injects/chronos are bullshit. You shoudln't be able to recover from 40 workers lost or so. | ||

Just tank mines with free units and then kill the rest with ling/baneling. In theory you're right. In practice they aren't because of the kind of micro it takes to control them for the specific purpose of countering widow mines. Factor in the relatively poor speed of the Swarm Host as an added problem. TvZ if you haven't noticed is played VERY VERY fast, units that lack mobility like Tanks/Thors/Broodlords/Swarm Hosts and even at times Infestors have a really hard time finding their way into the metagame because their mobility becomes a huge problem. | ||

There is a reason why people have such high expectations for Jaedong, because he was one of the best in BW historically, and people translate their fanboyism for Jaedong across games. If you seen jaedongs games .. you will be surprised how good he is .. and its not like some players who dominate for a short time .. jaedong was really good until the end of BW .. he is probably the second best BW player of all time .. next to flash of course .. no one is better than flash up to date in BW .. the thing why people have high expectation is because he was one the few people carrying the zerg race throughout the BW scene of course no disrespect to savior who changed the playstyle of zerg entirely .. the thing is broodwar is mechanically harder .. thats why people are impressed by him having insane multitasking and micro skills | ||
