eh. i think people are correct that ultras would have finished him. brood lords were an odd tech choice, possibly his biggest mistake. but i agree that JD was in control (no pun) for the whole game

That depends. Did you believe that TaeJa would absolutely stomp Patience to the ground in a nearly-perfect fashion? If yes, no you didn't miss anything.

Why all the criticism? He was never anywhere near losing
He wasn't near losing but JD seemed to open up great and gain a huge advantage, and then his late game was a little wishy-washy and uncertain.
where you see uncertainty i see him switching tech too fast for mana's bad economy to keep up. maybe he could have finished stronger, but i think his lategame was a plan that made sense

Or because Mana took stupid fights, like fighting brood lord infestor at that tiny bridge. Winning with a worse tech choice only makes Jaedong more sexy.

he didn't do poorly, he made one strange tech decision (broodlords) that made the game appear close when it wasn't
and "because he had a huge advantage"... yes... that's why he was able to play the style he played. otherwise he wouldn't have
