Jaedong should have won game 1 and then the series might have looked different, but the defence of sOs... wow. Regardless of how well Jaedong is playing, there always is someone who is simply stronger in the tournament. You cannot really fault him, with sOs playing the way he did. Anyway second place won't be enough for him, but I am still inspired. It's just great zerg play. But sOs, just amazing. | ||

Superior mechanics, scouting, and 'a legitimate tactical playing field' should decide the victor. The amount of bullshit you can pull off as toss is also what really makes watching SC2 unfun for me. While yes this is coming from a somewhat sc2 noob (bw vet), their all-in ability from their extreme mobility at any time despite good scouting (say you just miss that one cliff with a pylon) just defies a lot of the basics of an RTS. It took an Arbiter Tribunal to even reserach recall for what they have now for almost free. Scouting an army moving out, giving time to react, just isn't there. /end noob take on frustrations watching sc2 and BW fan watching BW player lose that last game as he did I thought so too in the beginning. Now I don't mind the cheese as much and I'm not even sure that it plays a so much bigger role than in bw. What bothers me though is that you never see people claw there way back in a game with better micro and macro in sc2. Its decided super fast and there is nothing that the player that is behind can do to come back. While comebacks aren't as common in SC2 as they were in BW, the whole "comebacks can't happen due to good play in SC2" is all bullshit. It's hard, yes, but it's supposed to be. | ||

Jaedong beat Maru and Dear convincingly. i wouldn't say convincingly, because i totally would not be surprised if they both beat him another day. the games were close too. That basically goes without saying. I also believe Jaedong could beat sOs if they'd play another Bo7 today. These players are so close, and one butchered engagement easily costs you a game or sometimes a series. In a way, 5 finals and a semifinal within 3-4 months is so majorly impressive. Just not impressive enough, at some point you have to win it all ![]() | ||

Jaedong's day will come one day, I'm sure of it, he's too good to not get an SC2 title. | ||

You just climbed one summit in Dear and now you have to make it all the way back to base camp, which is a lot harder. Dear and sHy are two protoss players you do not want to meet back-to-back because of their unpredictable nature and it's a steep climb. Both of them are doing crazy things with their race atm. | ||

The overall impression is that, even without the cheese or the mindgame factors, the level of play of JD wasn't stellar. That is the better player won. | ||
