let's be honest here -- jd played like shit against bomber. if jd played as well against bomber as he did against polt, he would have won that tournament pretty handily.
jd vs bomber isn't exactly a point to the fact that zvt is unbeatable, but that ZvT is incredibly punishing of small mistakes by the Zerg while being heavily the opposite for Terran. yes, he forgot baneling speed, but he was still far enough ahead to win if he wasn't fucked up by a single widow mine hit. you have to look at those gamechanging widow mine hits and go "really? this is what decides a game?"
polt vs. jd // soulkey vs. innovation is where you can see the ridiculous "balance" that is ZvT. in those games, the Zerg players played extremely well and still got their faces smashed.
I understand the sentiment here but it's the same way in TvP. Terran can be ahead the entire game and then have one mis-micro with ghosts and eat a big storm that is essentially the same "really? this is what decides a game?". It sucks, but it is what it is.
