#676 - Jaedong's inefficient, mass larvae ZvZ style

So the title to this show sounds CRAZY but hear me out. ZvZ is a matchup generally marked by Roach vs Roach battles. The ways to pull ahead involve subtle maneuvers to pick up slight bits of efficiency: an extra 5 roaches, 20s early upgrades, slightly earlier infestors etc. However, against StarTale_Life, Jaedong showcased an outrageously aggressive, ling and counterattack focused ZvZ style that relies on MASSIVE numbers of inefficient units to gain map control! We'll ask ourselves How does Jaedong open to set himself for mass expanding in the midgame? What choices does Jaedong make with and without knowledge of what his enemy is doing? How does Jaedong maneuver his low value units to maximize their damage potential? What way does Jaedong extend the shelf life of his aggressive units into the late game? When does Jaedong dial back the aggression? These games are gorgeous instances of how to elegantly manipulate an EXTREMELY efficient opponent.
