Huge siege up around the 11 oclock too, but Bogus getting the goliaths to tank shots and spread on his tanks 11 nat is going to get under siege pretty soon Four, maybe five dropships loaded up for Flash A few of them get sniped by Bogus though
11 nat is busted, 11 main is going to get broken too No, the tanks get caught on the high ground, only 4 goliaths and a tank left to defend though 0-2 for both players
Bogus is maxed, 127 for Flash Drops on the high ground of 11 oclock scvs being pulled, to clean up the tanks 160-105 Bogus going to just push through the 12 oclock area, a move tanks
11 oclock is going to be mining again from the 12 oclock CC Bogus taking the center expo too I think Flash still can come back into this 12 oclock gets cleared up, and Flash focuses down a few dropships Flash's drop gets cleared though
Never mind Flash can't come back into this I don't think More dropships getting sniped Tanks vs scvs, scvs gonna win? No more tanks come to reinforce 180-88 Bogus favored GG from Flash

I mean, I guess it happens sometimes. 70~% win rate still means he's losing a game out of five, and sometimes it's to a Shuttle or a Bogus. Or a Dear. Maybe he got overconfident because he's been practicing BW more, and didn't want to reveal his builds to Fantasy. Maybe he's just having an off day. Memes aside, he is a human, and it's not like Bogus is some terrible noob.
hopefully this game goes to late game. it's been so long since we've had an actually good late game tvz with full defiler use, etc etc. Especially as action can be good.
Hydra den is up for Action, I think he suspects mech Spire being added too Ebay and academy being added, one starport gets canceled. Only two Control tower being added too
Lurkers morphing in at the 6 oclock First wraith out to snipe an overlord Two lurkers are the front, get shelled by a tank Armory getting added Cloak is researching
Classic takes a ton of damage on a wraith or two when Action pulled his drones around the spore Scans and scouts out the 1 oclock Lots of drones getting picked off at the nat
Hydras pick off a wraith at the 1 nat Valk being added? Classic's back door falls, ebay is landed too prevent lurkers to getting through, depot added too Four overlord going to get picked off, Action pretty supply blocked now Hive is up
5 or 6 facts Action under 100 supply 90/70 Action making mutas, Another wraith falls as they pass through the hydras Tow more overlord get pciked off? No, mutas push them back Wraith number is back down to around 2
Classic has the 5 oclock main +1 air carapace for the mutas Vultures laying a mine field Four valks for Classic 144-108 Classic favored 3 drones misrallied Wraiths and valks kill off the two overlords and the majority of the mutas +1 air weapons is done
Wraiths going to harass the drones at the 1 clock Valks slaughtering the overlord, and the mutas just pop like balloons when the valks get off a volley
Action planting hatcheries everywhere, taking 12 oclock 190-122 Classic in the lead First defilers out now too Action going to try and break the backdoor at the 1 oclock Action just threw away the last of his mutas
Action has some lings misrallied, running around his mineral only Crackling counter attack at the 6 oclock 6 oclock CC is getting focused, but I think repair is imba Three cracklings at the 7 oclock killing scvs, but two vultures shut that down
Classic is pretty much maxed, 5.5k minerals 1.7k gas banked 1-1 for Classic's mech So many tanks, Hydraling can't get close enough to use the dark swarm
Action has drops researched it seems, dark swarm at the 6 oclock, scvs forced to get pulled Classic's army is knocking on Action's front door 187-150 now Action trying to use drops to claer out the tank line 7 oclock gets counter though 6 oclock too
6 oclock going to get taken again Tank count for Classic is started to get whittled down Classic going to try and push 1 oclock If he holds, he'll be in a pretty good position
Action pushing into the tank line at 1 oclock Nice dark swarms into the tanks too D matrix on the tank saves quite a few of them 3-2 for both types of Zerg units Classic's bank is just about run dry 142-142
3 oclock being taken by Classic now Huge scv train headed to the 3 oclock Action going to just swarm into the 3 oclock Huge mine drags, but they don't detonate! Tons of lings for Action
12 oclock being taken now for Action Defiler+lurker drop at the 6 oclock, no mining at all A second drop at the 3 oclock Tons of lings going to try and swarm into the 6 oclock, but theres noe enough there Consume on an overlord haha Almost no mining left for Classic
HUGE doom drop ontop of the tank line Huge amonts of tanks are dying 151-156 supply Action leading for the time being Lings pouring in too! No ultras for Action 116-163 Action is killing off Classic!
Off position CC at the mineral only at 7 oclock Huge doom drop in the main of Classic Classic's massive bank is all but gone The main is getting ravaged
Messy game. Wooki did some good harassing, but Trap attacked Wooki's expansion and caught him by surprise so he destroyed Wooki's army which was at the base. The KT player couldnt recover from the supply disadvantage, and the gg came a couple battles later.
corruptors out now for CH. kinda bad for mini since they counter both collosi and phoenix. but ton of gateways going up now for mini, probs gonna lift up all the units of CH while attacking.
Mini should be getting air attack if he's going so much air. Upgraded Phoenixes are actually okay against corruptors, and it allows for the rare and fabled carrier transition.
nvm, double expo from CH taking 4th too. also getting the greater spire. broodlords making now and probs gonna push out to mini's third and kill him. mini trying to remake that stalker/collosi deathball.
Why does everyone always forget crack for speedlings? I mean, they're not as good as BW cracklings (they're just regular cokelings), but it's still a great upgrade, and CH had greater spire done and a bunch of guardians out before even starting it.
ton of cracklings sneaking by the toss army in the middle. mini gonna kill off the 4th base.
ton of broodlords out onf the field. 4th base is gone. NO ARMY FOR MINI
CH attacking 3rd. 3rd still holds for CH. broodlords moving across the map. gonna take out the 3rd of mini. mini does a big swallow. CH just gonna slowly march his way acroos the map with slowlords.
mini being really aggresive with 6 stalkers and 3 collosi. content to picking off creep tumors. mini is dry big fungal by CH, takes out all 3 collosi. mini is dry, long mining from 3rd. ch is just gonna push in and win.

he built a nydus network at the 11 earlier in the game and then built an exit in in his main. then I guess after the first network died he rebuilt it next to the old exit

ahh so they are different nydus, got it. Lizzy being very pacient, probably he is the one going on Ace cause Flash has to practice BW
It was kind of sloppy, but that was the second good SC2 game of SPL, and only a week after the last one.
The game that happened was a lot better than the game we saw, though. There were tons of drops that we didn't see until like a minute later. Obs was way too focused on the main armies, which ended up not being important.
Still, I'd written Lizzy off as dead, and he made a pretty good comeback through unrelenting harassment, so I guess props to him.

why would i be butt sore??? really? i check this thread and see this post??? wtf?
why would i be buttsore about the best player to ever play BW? im gonna enjoy making you eat ur own words after FlaSh beats Fantasy. then we'll see who the butt sore person is.
6pool as a ZvP opening isn't as all-in as a 4pool in BW. It won't kill Stats unless Stats is retarded, but it'll force Stats to go to one base, so Hyvaa can expand behind it and get ahead
Damn it, what was Stat's face that Sayle freaked about? I missed it

Won't hyvaa basically immediately die to 4gate?
It's a common responds, but he can defend it easily if he prepares early enough

I've never seen a 4gate response, so I'm not sure. 6pool was a standard ZvP SC2 opening for a few months, and kind of fell out of favor. It's really awkward for Stats to 4gate in response, though. I don't think the timings work out.
I like that Hyvaa, going Muta-ling, is expanding far away instead of taking the easy third. I've been wanting to see more Zergs try this.
It seems like SPL players are trying to port BW into SC2 as much as possible. It's kind of interesting to watch. I enjoy the experimentation.
You can't have 5 bases in a time in SC2, though (4, with optimal saturation, is best). But he can abandon one and use the other if he has too. Stephano does this a lot, just building shittons of bases with like 5 drones each.
Hyvaa made like 1 creep tumor that whole game, but that was a pretty interesting style. I'd be interesting in seeing it after a bit more refinement and some better macro.
I don't know why stats went for a kill move. He had enough to defend at home AND deny expansions. Why would you ever attack into that many spines? Hyvaa was stuck on two base. Just expand and defend : /

eh? mass mutas vs protoss was pretty big awhile back and I really don't miss it. it's annoying to watch.
stats must have just panicked after finding that hidden expo and realizing that he wasn't as far ahead as he thought. after that moment, his decision making just plummeted. oh well, KT still in good shape this season regardless.

I've never seen it pair with the "expos on the four corners" style, though, even though it's a natural fit. That's what makes it interesting. Zerg almost always takes the close third base in SC2, but Hyvaa didn't and it worked well for him. Stat's couldn't just do a big death push.

Moon made use of this on Tal'Darim Altar quite a bit, super super annoying to face as a protoss. Stats really neded to get ranged phoenixes or something =[

I don't think a lot of the SPL players know how to deal with slightly out-dated builds yet.

if your opponent sunkens up on two bases, then you just expand. can't be that different from bw right?
i didn't see the game, but yeah. if you see a zerg on 2 base with mass spines, it's pretty much a dead giveaway that he's going mutas. protoss response should be: make cannons in mineral lines, take a 3rd with whatever ground army you have, start working to get blink if you don't already have it and then eventually get ht+storm
