A lesser player would of been rattled after that successful drop that killed all his tech. Well played by Mong, his games were great. As someone who never played BW (nor SC2) MP, gotta have noob questions. Did JD win the game or it was rather Mong losing it? I mean, I thought JD was dead when most of his tech got destroyed How did he not die there? How did he managed to get all those ultras, and eventually win the game? | ||

FLash said JD was still way ahead even when with the successful drop. Reason being zerg secured 4 gas while terran only had 2 gas and Zergs drones were all saturated. | ||

I mean, I thought JD was dead when most of his tech got destroyed How did he not die there? How did he managed to get all those ultras, and eventually win the game? The fourth base was key and I'd say Jaedong won that game. 1. Mong pushed on JD with a 5 rax build. JD defended only losing units. Mong did no damage to JD's bases or economy. 2. Jaedong expanded and got up to 4 gasses. 4gas zerg means defiler and ultra tech are affordable 3. Jaedong's mutas did a great job of denying the left side of the map expansions. 4. Other then the drop inside JD's main, Mong was unable to apply pressure. Even when he lost tech, he was able to just spam fully upgraded zerglings to help control the game. If they spawning pool was picked off, Mong would have been able to make a move on JD. Instead JD just patiently amassed gas while lings kept him alive. Mong needed to also stim in and kill the drones in the main. The evo chamber kills were a big mistake imo. There were much more important buildings/workers to kill. 5. Those later game lurker drops and constant ling attacks allows JD to make a large bank for the cow transition 6. JD then finally took a fifth base while Mong was spending too much poorly defending his own bases. | ||

I think this was a case of JD winning the game and not Mong losing it. JD also did a great job of denying Mong his third and fourth gas. JD also destroyed the armories and denied Mong from getting his 2-2, which was alread on the way. JD already had 1-2 upgrades before his evos went down irrc. | ||

But JD's spawning pool only survived by 17hp. Would've interesting to see how close it would've been had the pool gone down, since JD was depending so heavily on lings for much of the game. Still think JD would've won. But Mong put up a stiff fight, my respect for him has increased. | ||

It must really look so different from a Pros perspective as to who is ahead or behind at any stage, would love to read more things like this! | ||
