At present terrans are feeling like they're playing coinflips against Protoss, except the coin has 8 sides and they need to call the right one or they die. Also sometimes they die anyway Frankly it's hard to blame them for feeling that way and this series didn't do much to dispel that since 2 games were flatout cheese. | ||

JD actually has a pretty good track record against Hero, which is weird since Hero, at least on paper seems like a player who would give JD fits. I don't know, JD has looked thoroughly unimpressive so far in 2014, but if he can beat Patience, he should be able to beat Hero. | ||

Game 1 was WAY too greedy and just blind counter to oracles...because? Game 2 was weird...he just let the mothership core scout his base, he doesn't have an answer to DTs...happens, but his scans and attempts to kill dts were comically bad Game 3 was just so dumb...looking solid, getting an earlier third and then pull a :+:Lokus:+:...protoss moves out, drop your entire army and start a basetrade. What? And if he was going to do that why didn't he start walling off the top of his ramp and building bunkers so he wouldn't just die instantly to storm? Just bad play. I'm beginning to wonder if TvP losses could not at least in some part be a result of people overhyping Protoss, which causes Terran players to get too stressed, overreact and generally do weird things due to too much pressure. | ||

The third was a failure you mean, except it didn't matter | ||

And yeah, as they were practicing together on the EGTL house, JD always had the upper hand against him. I don't know how they will fair later on, but if i had to bet, i would be on Jaedong. | ||
