Even writers on TL believed Jaedong was the superior player at BlizzCon in terms of mechanics and decision making, but was defeated by purely from cheese. Do you really think sOs would have won BlizzCon if he played this matches straight up? He just exploited the power of his broken race. Like I said, it's never Jaedong's fault when he loses, always the game's fault. Really sick of Jaedong fans in general. | ||

It's really easy and if it impresses you it's only relative to your own skill, rather to anything that impresses anyone GM+, or for many masters players. Seriously, Blizzard's own micro challenges are even harder than that. It's a two base all in, it's old and it's what protoss players do all the time. A career pro like herO not fucking up so badly that he lets his immortals die completely unecessarily is really a matter of expected and basic competence than it is any kind of 'incredible feat' from which we may derive a sense of 'deserves to win' based on a 'display of skill'. TBH, herO has first class micro but nothing about executing that all-in will ever demonstrate that lol. Constantly zipping around and saving immortals while force fielding and focus firing IS difficult to achieve. It's even more difficult to achieve when you're playing against JAEDONG for god's sake, who was of course doing everything in his considerable power to prevent HerO from doing those things. The game was a constant battle that pushed both players to their limits | ||

Hate all you want but players like JD built this fucking scene with their hard work in a cramped apartment for shit pay over years and years. People respect him because he's fucking earned it. People like him because of what he's done, and for the awesome memories he's given them. Unless you were there, you will never understand. That guy is an idiot for shitting on JD, but seriously you are going to far with the whine today. | ||

But sacking a good part of his army supply for 2 gateways, engaging off creep, that was huge mistakes. Not patient enough He A-moved in like an idiot and it lost him the game. And everyone rages at HerO :| | ||

Why should JD be able to make mistakes at the very highest level of competititive Starcraft versus a race and a strategy where little mistakes matter a lot...and still win? Because it's "fair"? Because different races shouldn't be allowed to have different strengths in an asymmetrical RTS game? Because different strategies with different strengths and weaknesses shouldn't exist? Because micro players should never be able to beat macro players? Hero won with skill. JD lost using skill, because he made mistakes. THIS IS HOW THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! You think hero didn't make mistakes? | ||

Actually JD played really well for the first immortal push and got alot of energy sentries. But before the Zealots did alot of damage unlike the casters were saying it. It could have been better, but he slowed the tech (JD didn't get more extractors i think) and did keep Larva and Mineral count low. He should have gotten burrow and just defend and he would have gotten it. Shield regen is really huge in situations like this and JD could have healed up alot of Roaches after each attack push of Hero. But every Zerg except Soulkey is doing the hardmode no heal against Immortal allins. | ||
