This. -_-
So aside from the BO disadvantage, why'd Jaedong lose? I just got here.
Hyuk played well and didn't make any mistakes. Jaedong didn't do anything extraordinary. Better economy led to Hyuk have a much higher muta count and with some good micro, he was able to easily overcome JD in the air battle.
JD built far too many scourges and relied on hyuk having inferior micro.
He built too many scourges because he didn't have the minerals for mutas and making scourge was the only way he could use all his gas.
ah true
i would question whether he needed that sunken. either that or less lings.

You need a sunken when you go 12 pool and the opponent goes 12 hatch and attempts a mass ling bust. I think he could've gotten away with making fewer lings though.

He should rotate drones from his gas to his minerals then. There's no point to wasting gas like that. Or maybe he should have put 3 drones in his nat gas instead of 4. Maybe even only 2.
On the other hand, Hyuk has superb muta micro and won the BO, so there wasn't much JD could do once the game evolved into air battles.
As once was said: "Corpses and mine shrapnel litter the fields The victory slipped through his hands But he returns, like a phoenix from the ashes To terrorize the chinfidel To destroy the Greatest of Zergs For he is Hyuk Survivor, Minesweeper, Bonjwa"

he wouldnt have enough gas for mutas then what he did allowed him to have the normal amount of gas but if he did what you suggested he'd have a subpar amount of gas AND a subpar amount of minerals (although a bit more than he did this game) either way it doesnt matter because mutas take up more gas than scourge but he didnt have enough min or gas for it.
scourge 25/75, mutas 100/100
What? Let's say you have 7 drones on gas and 4 on mins, yhen you have to make a lot of scourge to burn through the gas. But if you have 6 drones on gas and 5 on mins... then you can make slightly more mutas and even have some leftover mins for drones or lings or whatever. He doesn't have to mine all that gas if he's just going to waste it on scourge that do nothing. It's not about burning gas, it's about getting the right units.
JD had maybe 3-4 mutas at the end and 12 scourge, which is 450gas for the scourge and 150 mins or 600 resources in total. Skip 8 scourge, i.e. 400 resources in total and you have 2 more mutas. I'd think it'd be better to have 5-6 mutas and 4 scourge against what Hyuk had.
There's no point to making more than 4 scourge against a competent microer like Hyuk or Hydra or JD. But for some reason, JD seems to think he can out-micro everybody. This may have been true 2 years ago, but it's not true any more since a lot of people have caught up.
But again, he was down on econ and the only way he was getting ahead anyway was with some very, very lucky scourges. Which didn't happen. I'd personally still try to use mutas instead of scourge but either way is pretty uphill.
Well at least it wasn't a 12 hatch again. Call me crazy but I think things are looking up for Jaedong. I mean it will probably only take about 5 more eliminations from individual leagues caused by bo losses for his ego to finally disintegrate and for him to finally put that goddamn pool down at 9.
