I didn't see anything but a mess of green and off green and a little brown. That is pretty funny that it happened. Was this on television?
Yer it was, watched it live. Was really nervous he was going to gg without realising too...

This makes no sense whatsoever. Is it some weird joke? whats there not to get. it makes perfect sense. Actually, it's pretty counter-intuitive. The title suggests that JD did something really well (epic wall), when it's actually a failure. If this had been titled, Jaedong's blocked rally, then everyone would be ROFLing. That's the problem with sarcasm. How am I supposed to get the joke if you say the opposite of what you mean? wtf is sarcasm, the most important thing is we have accurate thread titles.
I'd choose sarcasm any day.

Haha he was really embarrassed :p.

Oh god this just made me a fan of JD. The guy holds non-stop attack for like 5 minutes with a fraction of his army. I think this kind of thing can happen to anyone (the drones where there to block DTs early game I think), and he's such a macro beast, has this game so mapped out that he didn't even pass thought that particular area. Hilarious to watch live.

This seriously hurt so much to watch.
BTW, you spoiled set 3 and 4 for me since Jaedong did not play till set 5 and I saw this thread title on my way to the small VOD thread. Please use a more ambiguous title in the future (stars vs T8 spoilers) or something.
Most frightening thing about it was that if Jaedong had lost people would have been raising pitchforks about matchfixing (realistic or not given the situation..). I am really glad Jaedong still won, even tho you could tell he wasn't sure how to feel after it was done (do I get high fives for that?? I'm not sure..).
the drones where there to block DTs early game I think No... A DT would just kill them and keep walking. They were definitely left over from a rally point.

I've also forgotten cuz I haven't BWed in so long, do they have to be on hold position in order for allied units to not get through? Possibly a rally point mistake or perhaps a misclick in the mini-map. We don't know for certain unless we watch the fpvod (which obviously they will not release it).

LSW said it best,
Jaedong did it intentionally ftw

No, it makes no sense at all. I see both you and the other guy joined TL only after SC2 was released so you may not be aware of some of the differences in BW. When a DT kills a unit in one hit (drone or probe), there is no warning or notification whatsoever. So putting three drones on a ramp to be safe from DTs wouldn't do anything but allow a DT to get three extra drone kills without JD realizing it (it's not like he kept looking back at the ramp.. lol) before they get into the main.

he held positioned the drones earlier to prevent zealots from running into his main

Depot-Jeadong is just using his units a lit sparingly. Once the depot units are close to 100 supply => go for it.

Seriously? When a DT is in one of your mineral lines one-shotting workers, you get no warning?

That was such a frustrating game. I'm so glad that Jaedong was able to win and break his losing streak. The crowd was going nuts when Jaedong's army finally broke free. The look on Flying when he saw that army... LOL, it was the definite WTF moment. Jaedong was like 20 supply behind since taking some damage from early DT pressure, and it's amazing he was able to stay in game despite half of his army stuck in that choke.

Yes, you do.

I understand the wall
but what I don't understand, after watching the YouTube clip- why was the camera on that drone wall the entire 2:50. I mean even when the spectator clicked on another part of the minimap it's still at the drone wall. dafuq?

Just goes to show how insane JD is. JD FIGHTING!

I think it pings the minimap but makes no noise.
