No comment. Whoever said that Jaedong commands an army of devoted fans was apparently right, lol

How on earth did HerO figure that out?

Not sure if map hacking or star sense.

I agree with NarutO. Yes that last game can cause severe butt-hurt and as a big JD can it's whatever no point in ranting on and on. HerO microed superbly at the end of the day, forces, prisms, and all.
IEM has been the best SC2 content I've watched all year, as I'm sure it has been for a lot of others. To top it all off, we're still NOT done! Grand finals baby.

Omg is he preparing that collapsible rock tower for later?

Fuck everything, I'll go drink some battery acid now or something. Lol. JD is so terrible with his consistent top 4 finishes. He never learns how to play decently. Must be hard to be butthurt all the time. I'll never understand this devotion that people bring over for JD from BW days. Lets list all the tournaments JD has won shall we. Asus ROG Numericable M-House Cup HyperX 10 year anniversary. Its pretty lol worthy to compare him to HerO. WCS NA S1 NASL S4 DH Winter DH Winter IPL Fight club MLG Summer quals IPL Season 3 qual 1. FXOpen Invite Not to mention that HerO actually plays in PL and Jaedong plays in .. well nothing really. Not even GSTL. JD was a Brood War legend. Without people like him, this game, this tournament, this website would not exist. 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. Who is whining? I never even mentioned balance in this thread once. I was angry and disappointed that my biggest idol lost in a really stupid way. I thought he played poorly. Get off your high horse, being pretentious doesn't suit you. neither does it suit you lol You really don't deserve your quality poster icon, I hope they will take it away from you.
Either way, it's quite sad that JD vs HerO took away the hype from the Grand Final. I hope Polt vs HerO is going to be a good match.

Not that hero didnt play well but after 2 failed allins you should have not a snowballs chance in hell to get back into it other than your enemy throwing it hard. Which is pretty much exactly what happened lol No? Lol. Btw, it's failed 4 gate vs 3 hatch before pool, into failed all in, into repeat of failed all-in vs superior tech. Chobos might assert that JD made mistakes and threw the match but if you pulled up the replay with them and asked them to point to specific moments and say "That exact command was a mistake" and also ask them to say exactly what could have been done better, they won't actually know, or will start spilling all of their bogus perceptions which serve to retain their lower league status in the game. Best not to sweat it, but then that makes this all hypocritical of me  I like telling the truth. Did you watch a different game than I did? JD made several key mistakes towards the end of the game and threw his lead.
-He fought off creep with Hydras when he didn't need to and lost a lot for just a few zealots -He sent a bunch of roaches to kill a couple buildings and like one sentry and then lost almost all of them, making his standing army weaker later -He didn't even try to target fire the warp prism FOREVER, you at least make HerO have to choose between microing to save the prism or pick up immortals or forcefield -Not pulling drones early enough, especially after 3rd was killed and a lot of them were dead weight
I could go on, but those are the major ones. He had initially set himself up in an almost unwinnable position, but then made several key mistakes that HerO capitalized on.
Anyway, Polt time.
