Tbh as a Protoss player.
He did not deserve to win that game 1 imo. Just turtled like fuck until he had an unstoppable army.
sOs didn't win game one so much as Jaedong lost it. But to say sOs didn't deserve that win...I'm not so sure. He did some really good damage early game with the cannon rush, then put up a really strong defense against Jaedong's attempted pressure. The key thing that shows me he deserved the win is that Jaedong didn't have to suicide a huge number of units. Jaedong didn't have to do any horribly obvious bad play that cost him a huge amount of economy, or a huge amount of his army, or anything. sOs simply kept himself in a position to win the game until Jaedong made a small army composition (and positioning) mistake and then sOs exploited it.
Also, despite being contained the entire game, sOs was always applying pressure on Jaedong. Behind far as fuck, can't leave his base, still warping in zealots for really successful mineral line harass.
Did sOs win that game so much as Jaedong lost it? No. But did sOs deserve the win? To stick tough despite what Jaedong threw at him, despite the long odds of winning that game...to stay mentally checked in the entire time and not make an exploitable mistake, I'd say that yes, sOs very much deserved that victory he got in game 1.
