Interesting fact --> Vermeer is a map specifically made for being another standard balanced macro map like FS, CB or Polypoid, btw. It was made by legendary map maker LatiAs with the help of Mini, Rush and hero and it was actually sponsored by AMD (hence the logo in the middle)! First time i've ever heard of such thing in BW. Very interesting. It already produced quite a lot of great games, too.

[@Lykyk]

In the good old days of CholeraSC and Diggity casts they actually had company logos directly printed on the map. Pretty sure at least one tournament had them fighting on the pringles face.

[@misterkefir]

@@Lykyk yeah sponsor logos on the map were common in wc3 too back in the day but it was the first time i've heard of a whole map being sponsored to be made.

Damn another minute in that interview and JD would have broken down, u can see how much this matters to him

[@Healcannon]

I felt so bad for him. Reminded me of any amount of public speaking yet JD's been doing this sort of thing for so long. You can tell it means a lot him if he got that level of nerves at this point.

[@harizotoh7]

This might be his last chance before retirement. He might be able to take down someone like Mong, but can he handle a Terran like Rush?

[@PeterParker-yg6fc]

worried w who he got grouped w next time think hes screwed

[@disiesgroto1881]

@@Healcannon JD *had* been doing this sort of thing for so long - keep in mind he's basically been out of the StarCraft circuit for 2 years, and in the Military he probably didn't do any kind of large group public speaking or presenting. Suddenly being on the Big Stage alongside the pressure he must be getting - intentionally or not - from everyone around him, it's understandable for him to have some "Am I really still as good as I was? Can I do this again?" style doubts. It's definitely impressive that he was willing admit in the interview that he himself might end up being his greatest enemy during this tournament, you usually don't see that kind of vulnerability and openness from professionals in those kind of situations.

[@Healcannon]

@@disiesgroto1881 I get it. You get that itch inside to see if you can still hack it and massive increased pressure from your previous success. You always want to go out on a bang but at the same time i'm sure he feels the starcraft call since its such a big part of him even when he stops. Eventually age will stop us all from doing the things we enjoyed and its a sad scary time when you have to stop.

What an absolutely great series and great cast. Jaedongs winner interview was nothing short of epic.

That final match was one of the most awesome TvZs i've ever seen in all of Broodwar! That was such an amazing game!!!

[@49Chevy]

Last map pivoted when Mong let go of 3 o'clock, which then meant that he didn't have the presence/vision on that side of the map anymore, which let Soulkey get the drop in the main, and while not fatal that attack still knocked Mong down enough that he could never truly rebuild his tank lines. If Mong has coverage on the right side to see that drop coming in he wins. Great game.

[@MoonyD911]

What a crazy last game. Glad to see JD back, but damn was that last game the best YvZ I’ve seen in a long time. Mech vs Late game Zerg for nearly 1 hour of in game time. That was just crazy.

[@DenDodde]

I thought it was sloppy from both soulkey and mong. Starting from the moment mong left his bio sitting on highground for a full minute, not putting pressure on, and not defending, just to have them surrounded and killed. As for soulkey, it felt like he knew what he wanted to do, the drop play. But couldn't figure out how to do it. So instead he just sent wave after wave of units with no clear goal and no darkswarm. But after he got the main drop off it looked like he went: "Oh, well, now that's done, time to play the game." and you see defilers start moving on the map and from there it was just over.

[@KenNywithrice]

I was gonna comment on how Artosis is so confident about JvZ when I've watched him get eliminated by HoGiL, Hydra, Action etc but the interview man, the moment JD said "the greatest enemy is myself" I suddenly felt the burden he must've been carrying for god knows how long, probably for as far back as when he was expected to take some championships off Flash when all the finals were FvJ around 2010. Hope he does well and that the rest of his fans appreciate his efforts regardless of result.

[@BobfromSydney]

He had a serious wrist injury in the past and I noticed that in a lot of ZvZ's in previous seasons JD would "cheese" a lot with all-in builds rather than play a long game with lots of Muta/Scourge fights. I suspect this might have been to limit the strain on his wrist and having to micro the muta fights, which would have been hard for him. I suspect this might be part of the reason why he said his greatest enemy is himself, he might be referring to his body condition when he said that. Hopefully he is recovered now because it looks like is micro is really polished at the moment.

[@Nooctae]

I can't help but think trying to keep up with Flash back in their golden period must have been exhausting, specially for JD, being one of the few people expected to be able to do it.

[@bladesofseven]

Here it is boys. The big group everyone was waiting for. Combined with the fact that the matches were all MARATHONS when I watched the Scan/Nyoken VOD, this should be fun as hell to watch.

[@misterkefir]

[@MundaneDave]

ro16 is looking insane. Groups A and D are absolutely brutal. Really just a solid ASL season, even without FlaSh in. It's only 4 Terrans, but they're all very strong, and the new maps are so cool.

[@XtReMz98]

[@iamLI3]

that last game was so sick , i wanted mong to win so badly bringing us a completely new way to play tvz , but tasteless called it so right mong was winning the game until he didn't build any turrets when he had no drop defense and instead decided to attack some of the zerg's bases when that was the wrong decision to make when he could have easily secured the other main base location , i hope he makes it to the ro16 next season.....

[@EebstertheGreat]

All units regenerate 1/32 energy per frame. At fastest speed, each frame lasts 42 ms, so 1 energy is regenerated every 1.344 seconds, and 50 energy is regenerated after 67.200 seconds. So it's actually a little more than a minute.

[@SmokerFace12]

HYPED! Welcome back to the Dong! ASL forever

[@ofdiscord]

I really disagree with the analysis of Soulkey's position against Mong in the last match. Soulkey did lose 2 more drones, but he made considerably fewer lings both in response to the bunker rush, and through the rest of the early game. The initial damage might have been greater but he just stuck with his drone micro and drone macro as well.

[@ofdiscord]

That said, Artosis and Tasteless definitely know their shit and I could be wrong. Still the best caster team for a game in all of esports imo

[@Materialist39]

Game 2 felt like an exhibition match, what a beautiful game

I wonder how long people are going to decide to wait or watch both Scans and Afreeca's. Not blaming Tastosis because I know they knock it out immediately but, Afreeca's production team needs to step it up. Translation should take a few hours.

[@canag0d]

Wowwwwww…. Spoiler! I feel for Mong. I feel he wasted too much earlier and I disagreed with Tastosis saying he was far ahead.. But then the game stabilized and turned into the best game of the ASL so far. Well played by both Mong and SK. I remember saying at 2:21:10 that this pickup and drop on the tank on the ledge will win him the game if he wins. Those units lured enough away from the front and attacking lings that the lings were able to penetrate deep. Mong was soooooo close to winning as well.
