Is it just me or is JYP doing more sOs type builds? By that, I mean that he doesn't just stick to a build but plays the mind games. In the first game, he was going 3 stargate then switched into robo after scouting. Last game, I think he faked a third(I may have missed this since I was looking away) then went in for the kill. Second game, he went dts into double robo with blink against mass roaches which is a hard counter.

Or alternatively to the canceled nexus, he could have scouted the infrastructure of his opponent. Or he could have had spotting zerglings somewhere, to see the moveout or the proxy pylon. Or he could have gone more defensive.

Even with what he did it was close and he could have won with better control.

Afaik, he's always been a wonky player with unorthodox builds, not unlike sOs.

I think mind games are just part and parcel of Starcraft in general and Protoss in particular. None of those things are really sOs-like. The Blink/DT/Robo thing was very reminiscent of Naniwa's builds however, and is inspired by Dear.
