I think it's more about the stress of playing in a tournament, and also thinking about how to play against your next opponent

It's easier to play a lot of games when you're at a team house and you don't have to move around or think about anything else or talk to people.

Fair enough, tournament pressure must make those games far more draining. Not sure how much player specific preparation is done in gaps between series though tbh.

In the end though it just sounds like a bunch of pre-johns in case JD loses which is lame.

Surprised that Jaedong is taking that forward base as his third (fourth when he takes his natural, of course).

The stress and fairness of a tournament matter a lot more than in ladder though. This is for a lot of money, and is a much bigger deal.

I hope he rushes SH, could set up a siege pretty quickly.

Jaedong rushing swarmhosts? I don't think that is going to happen.

Well it was either gonna be gateway aggression or a fast third. I think I would have preferred the former from herO tbh

I don't know, to me Jaedong seems dead since that cannon rush.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I thought JD attacked a couple minutes too early, herO wouldn't have had the AoE to stop a maxed army.
