Won't mention name but ever since he's lost that "edge" he's been playing super lazy in the worst possible way. It's weird because he plays godly in other areas then seems to give up when it matters the most and just coasts. I've seen him do this numerous times - it's not that he's terrible but it feels that he is no longer as motivated as he was back then (totally understandable playing this demon of a game at the highest level all your life)



He definitely seems to pick a strategy and fully commit to it. He also tries to take the aggressive action every time he has a choice. It reminds me of Fedor during the period where he lost to Werdum/Bigfoot/Hendo. Skills wise he wasn't really worse than he was a few years earlier, but he just had no patience and refused to adjust from trying repeatedly to land one big shot.

I think this is just where the meta is today. Terrans like Flash and Last are using super greedy build orders and zergs like jaedong and soulkey respond with the fast lair speedling/muta rush. Can't blame them for trying to keep the terrans honest, they're just gonna get owned in a standard macro game if they let their opponents fast expo and get every tech unfettered.

i think he just needs some psychological coaching from specialist(and ofc if he has problems with his body he needs to sort it out) - many athletes struggle not because they are not good but because they crack in clutch moments... actually i think he would have won all those games yesterday if he was just a little bit more patient and precise in his decisions - btw the first game you can see he is trying to blunder it too - he stopped controlling his mutas here and there but his advantage was so big that it was not enough for this blunder to become significant

p.s the games vs last where he lost 4-0 - if he had won that first game(again blunder - he lost 3 lurkers due to not reacting on time) it could easily go 4-0 his way(he has huge momentum + he chooses next map)

I am JD fan too, but he loses first game to Last even with the lurkers saved. He underestimated Action, which is strange since the level today among the pros is quite even and this will show from the future games of Flash where he won't steamroll everyone like in the past. I definitely agree JD could be much more precise with a help from a specialist to strengthen his mindset and motivation. He had a chance in the 2nd game vs Flash too, besides Flash saying in the interview "I knew I win when he overextends". Sad to see JD gone so early, but if he wants to be top again he needs to change things in his life and adapt to the situation (and start giving more respect to others besides Flash).

how do these guys train for such events? do they just play between each other or what exactly happens, I doubt there are many people on this skill level, if they play between each other then the meta game is on a whole different level.

also, its pretty fuckin dumb that SC tournaments keep using the bo1 for early stages

I just wanna see a 4 group, bo3 between each player in the group kinda tournament.

Also Flash wont steamroll everyone cause the maps are not exactly terran friendly, its not like last season with all the air control maps, but still. I kind of like them though, cause they open the room for huge meta game, where people could play the high risk high reward game, fun to watch (e.g. think it was rain who went for a fast expo on that 3man map in close spawn positions and go punished )

this is gold btw... if someone can do such translations when analysis of competitive games occur from the top pros i think he can gather some donations as well

there is bo5 groups and bo7 eliminations in KSL now, i think we can have bo1 double elimination in ASL - it really changes the dynamic

JD was asked this and his reply was he goes through all the strategies in his head. This then boils down to simple X vs Y units battle, which you train vs others.

JD had the same number of mutals and just left them clumped together hovering while actions had him on surround. Come on JD.
