Dong's ZvP of outbase-->baserace is legit but Dear's top1 control trumps everything


agreed with taking the outbasing concept. I don't agree with his unit composition though in game 2.


Game 2 was legit. He used Jaedong's tendency to not use roac hydra against him. Roach hydra is the medium comp thats decent against everything. Jaedong swings from extremes and Dear abused that fact and slaughtered him.


No Jaedong just lost because he decided to send his undefended swarmhosts to his fourth instead of his natural. Had he gone to the natural, sacked the fourth and fought with his queens, infestors and swarmhosts together he would have done quite well.

He was dead before the roach production ever began.

I agree with you. I feel like JD could 3-0 dear if he just did what you said in game 2 and didn't over extended attacking dear's 3rd in game 3. Now I hope he can pull the magic and win 3-2, 2 games in a row plz JD.
JD is BONJWA!

He had 3 parts of the army. Infestors, SH and Queens. With the warp prism he had to commit the queens and infestors to defense cause guess what? Dear can warp in 10 units at a time. He gave Jaedong a hard problem to solve, how do I protect my 4 bases? Even if you sac t fourth, Dear has shown he isn't above just waiting there and having his warp prism just kill you instead so Jaedong was in a bad spot. He needed to split is queens and infestors in a better ratio, but it was too hard and he lost his SH.

Too bad they won't let you stay up long since it's the weekend. I'd force my kids to say awake and watch this regardless of age.

even if it was a KT vs KT final?

KT would lose. Totally worth it.

I just realized I need to have kids! Any TL ladies feeling lucky?

He lost his swarmhosts because he sent them to the THIRD ( a very clear and depressing action) allowing dear to just kill them.

Between saccing the 4th and keeping your whole army together at the natural it is obvious what is the stronger choice. The loss had nothing to do with making roaches he lost the moment he sent his SH to his third giving Dear the opportunity to shit on them.

Yes it's a hard sitatuation to assess obviously but it's clear that was the wrong decision...

Mobility is the reason I chose to main zerg. Though when I played Toss and Terran, I only used mobile comps.
