Flash shouldn't have any problems with this, and i hope Orion gets a spot just because he plays zerg.
|
I'm hoping Air gets through this 2-0

I'm just hoping that go.go doesn't
|
|
bump. no, just kidding!
Games starts soon, I'm hoping for some interesting play by Air since he is quite new.
Oh, and I also hate go.go . Hope that Orion and Air takes this, but I guess Flash would have no trouble beating Orion or go.go, no idea about the first game though.
|
Prove me right Flash, start by making both starleagues, AGAIN.
|
Flash brown 6, Air red 3 Zodiac
|
Man gomplayer's tv tab is always stupid for me these days. Maybe I should update it or something.
|
Air starts with a standard pylon gate gas and sends scouts the wrong way. Flash also starts with a standard build depot rax refinery, he sends scout in the right way towards Air's base.
Flash has 1 rine out, and only 1 scv on gas ? Factory started for him. Air has a dragoon out, chasing scv scout. Cyber Core reseraching, most likely goon range. Probe scout dies to 3 rines. Ramp is guarded by 3 rines 1 tank. Machineshop aint researching anything, oh now it is, 2 tanks out. Air has 2 goons at Flash nat, but is repelled back by a fire from tank.Ebay started near ramp of Flash. Oh i didnt see the cc building, it is floating towards flash's nat, seems like a 1fac --> cc build.
|
Air does a 2 gate --> robo --> obs build. robotics bay out, most probably doing a reaver harass. Shuttle out for Air. Flash's cc is up and running, shuttle has reaver and zealots. Turrets are up at Flash's nat with 3 tanks sieged.
3 tanks in main with turrets up too, seems like reaver aint gonna do shit unless he pulls off a rainbow. Air has a nat up, and.. my stream dies fucking gom.
|

12 is done for Air, reaver dies along with the shuttle.
He pushes into Flash to add pressure, but he manages to siege up and Air has to retreat.
|
Man flash just totally overran him.
|
Citadel of Adun up for Air and he adds like 5 gateways to a total of 7 gateways. while flash has 5 facs. Air has another nat at 12. AIR pushes in with about 1.5 group of goon but is repelled by .5 group of tanks and a few vulture. Few goons become goo. Flash has his 2nd nat up but goons come to harass.Flash repels them with 4 vultures and 2 tanks. Flash adds 2 more fact to a toal of 7 fac. Hmm i don't see another archives for Air, a stargate coming up. He takes another nat at 11. While flash macros crazy with 7 fac. SO does Air with his gateways, about 2 groups of lots i see. 2 more stargates added, flash scans but i think he can only see 1 stargate. Fleat beacon is added now. FLASH MOVES OUT with his ball and engages in the middle. Air lost most of his lots while flash with minimum losses, he is pushing towards AIR's main rather than his expos. He manages to destroy 2 gateways but seems like AIR is attacking flash's 2nd nat, but flash repels them. Flash has some goliathhs mix with his army, splits some of his army to go destroy AIR's expo at 12. and 11. Flash manages to get up to ramp of Air's main , sieges up I think Air has lost this game.
|
3 carriers out but flash alrdy has goliaths ready to kill them. Airs knows that he cant win and ggs.
edit: any 1 wnna do the next live report, my stream is lagging too much, thanks !

Orion vs. go.go on Zodiac
Orion at 3; go.go at 6
|
Looks like Orion going 12 hatch at natural followed by 11 pool with early extractor and go.go. going 1rax cc
|
Hydra Den for Orion at nat and sending out speedlings; go.go has bunker at natural to deter harass. go.go has acadamy up with a handful of rines
|
Orion tries to rush past bunker with about 1.5 groups of lings but medic block at ramp stops them from doing any real damage. MMF finish off the lings.
|
Lurkers done and moving up to contain go.go's troops. Orion takes expansion at middle ramp expansion.
|
When you use a 2 hatch speedling build you can't afford to waste 16 lings for zero damage. Gogo can't lose the game.
|
Orion's really bad... we're getting two terrans out of this shitty group for sure.
|
Er, middle up ramp expansion. go.go has fact going up and moves out mmf. Orion forced to retreat 3 lurks.
|
Nice timing 2 group mmf rush rapes all of Orion's troops and manages to push all the way to nat with no sunkens.
|
Kills all troops and Orion "gg"s.
|
Wow, GomTV stream has really nice quality.
|
So terrans won both games. So next are TvT and after that PvZ? And then Tv (p or z) ??
The first tvt will show us the first seed and the last game reveals the second?
|
When will these lower level tosses take a lesson from bisu and stork and start their nexus BEFORE robo to match T FE=/ Going Robo before nexus puts way too much presssure on the toss to do significant damage with their early reaver. If the reaver fails to do good damage, against strong terran, P cannot catch up. Besides T uses the same defensive BO regardless so its not lke you're going to suprise him with a faster reaver drop, the T build is already designed to stop it. MAKE A NEXUS. Today's game and Nada's recent game against Violet are perfect examples of this.

Flash vs. go.go on Blue Storm
Flash at 1 and go.go at 7
|
Identical builds for both: 1rax, refinery into fact.
|
Im sensing an upset here, where go.go will win, but still i believe go.go and flash will advance.
|
Both players lay down cc after a machine shop and vulture.
|
Still identical builds as both lay down 3 more facts. go.go tries to attack flash with speed vulture v speed vulture right above flash's nat ramp but a well timed tank forces go.go to retreat.
|
go.go still all vulture while flash has two tanks with siege up. Both players mining up around the middle choke. go.go tries some unsuccesful harass on Flash's troops as theyre advancing.
|
Flash sieges behind small choke with a tank and barracks vision to kill go.go's nat scvs. go.go still with no tanks doesnt do anything about it.
|
|
go.go finally gets tank up but flash out numbers him 10:1 and starts advancing onto the other side of the gulch. go.go has a ton of mines but still very few tanks.
|
Flash is through 2-0. Give the kid some respect he gets wins when he needs them.
|
Flash seiges 3 tanks to hit at go.go's natural and go.go "gg"s early.
|

Yes! Finally we get to see Flash in the MSL. I hope go.go can win the next game as well, since I like both these young ones.
|

Flash already was in the MSL. Unfortunately for him, he was in the Group of Death along with Bisu, Nada and oov.
|
No more live reports for me; it'd be nice if somebody else could do it.
|
so now the pvz will be commencing?
|
Looks like protoss is doing a
bisu build
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Z is at 1, looks like he has his nat and min only in response to a p FE build. Getting his lair and putting down a den.
P has his expo and tech with two gates, has his citadel and stargate now.
Sair is out, zerg adds a spire, and templar tech being built. Looks like a bisu build.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
P with some light sair harass, doesnt do much. meantwhile orion tried to sneak peak Air's base with an ov but got caught. 2 DTs out for p now and sairs along with them. Z is looking ok though, lots of hydras and overlords, putting down some sunks now too.
P scouts all this with his sairs, and now is just expo hunting with DTs. scourge is out, kills two of Air's sairs.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Air adding a crapload of gates now, and getting his +1 atk. He is gonna get beatdown though, Z has fast overlords and FOUR hatcheries at his mineral only. Orion flies an overlord into the p base to take a look. 12-15 fastlots out for p now, they meat on the zerg side of the map, and dont do much.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
zerg with triple evo chambers, and is just trying to keep the protoss speedlots at bay. +1 is finished for P now and he is trying to take his mineral only.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Zerg taking the expo at 5 now, still fighting speedlots with hydras. lurkers are out now for him, and that is going to slow up Air for a little bit until he can get some more goons. Both players fighting in the middle, Air with some good storms on the zerg army. Orion wasted his first lurks there. Air has lots of Obs, sairs, and the like, but has to be careful not to overextend so he can keep his new mineral only.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Air is impressing me by adding sairs to his army, they are taking a toll on the zerg overlord population, and allowing the dts to survive.
However, zerg has +1 +1 +1 already, as well as a hive and a ton of hatcheries.
|
I hate to say it, but Orion just really isn't very good.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Orion trying to delay P a bit above the P mineral onny... the longer he waits the greater his eco advantage is. He has to be careful not to give away the 11 corner expo to P though, otherwise the game comes down to those two expos at 6 and 12.
Orion feignted at the corner expo, drawing away the P army, and now hits the P mineral only with everything. He isnt going to kill it, but he got most of the probes.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Ok, second wave of reinforcements, and now Orion is overrunning everything. His lings got andral at just the right time, and Orion continues on to the final match.

Final match is Orion vs go.go on python.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Here we go.
5 4 3 2 1
Orion at 12, scouting east with his ov. However, gogo is at 9 so tough luck Z.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
gogo with rax first, just below his ramp. Orion is going to take his expo.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Orion going to scout now as well, he will find the rax glowing with his drone. gogo with the double scout and a rine coming, Z only now has his pool... drone defense will be necessary me thinks. Here comes gogo with 6 scv and three marines.
|
51133 Posts
Some god awful moves from both players here ;s
|
Osaka26946 Posts
wow orion rules, and kills the rines while losing most of his drones. Now he has lings, but wasnt paying attention, and an scv in his main killed two more drones.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
|
Osaka26946 Posts
orion has 6 drones at each expo as gogo starts his cc in base, and tries to keep gogo pinned with his ten lings.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
|
Osaka26946 Posts
lair now for orion, but still two hatcheries. he puts down two sunks, and gogo floats his CC while starting his second rax and acad.
|
51133 Posts
The two drones dying to SCV's strikes so many similarities to the first game of last season's OSL finals :O
|
Osaka26946 Posts
gogo getting +1 now, as orion starts his spire. I think gogo is going to win this as long as he doesnt fuck up. He starts his 3rd rax now. Orion has a third hatch down now, but only half done. He cant afford a lot more sunks if he wants to pop 6 mutas, but he might need them.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Mutas are out now, and gogo is threatening with his MM. He is kinda dumb though, he might need to defend his main here.
|
51133 Posts
Mutaling just chews up go.go's army in a flash.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
orion tries to kill gogos MM force in the middle of the map and does, but gogo reinforces. Orion looking to take 3 now.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
+1 for gogo now, orion still with muta ling. He goes straight at gogos choke and loses the lings int aht equation.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
Lurkers are ready for orion now as 3 pops. gogo heading to 3 but will be cut off. orion trying to sneak lurks behind the mm force but wont. gogo moving out with his tanks and 30 mm. orion tried a stop lurk, but gogo had scanned. tough luck!
|
Osaka26946 Posts
gogo pushing towards the z main, almost has a vessel. Here comes a lurk ling muta flank. Both players chicken out of the battle.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
gogo starting to attack the sunks with tanks now, orion going to counter at the 2 bunker t choke. gogo tries to retreat, but his army is between his base and the z army. Orion is going to lose this.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
o nvm, orion pulls out a hero atk and rapes the terran choke. the retreating t army is going to have to climb a worker ramp. gogo miscalculated badly.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
orion is out of danger at his choke and has a hive incoming. gogo still has much of his original army from his PRESSURE, but will have to march all that way again. zerg definately has map control now., and t is missing many scv. Defiler den is up.
|
Very bad move by go.go, he saw the attacking force yet he persist in camping outside the nat, he should have went to defend.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
gogo moving out again, he has to beat that defiler timing. zerg has a group of lings, a group of lurks., and scourge. Terran still has most of his original tanks. double ebay upgrades might make the difference against 0-0 zerg here. orion with 3 main and now taking 3 nat, while gogo still with nat only.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
defilers are out, and orion pushed gogo back towards his nat. gogo going to try mines here.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
gogo irads the defilers, but orion has a lot of lurkers. I dont know how he can lose here. gogo needs either a lot of tanks or a lot of vessels, but has neither.

This is why I loathe these type of players which take OSL/MSL spots over others.
They always make stupid in-your-face decisions and bring nothing to the game at all.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
orion determined to prove me wrong here, losing defilers and lurkers like a baby spills milk. gogo reasserting himself in the field, but will still have to find a way to kill those lurkers. Ultras coming for z soon.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
T attacking the 3 nat with only mm, and orion REALLY slow to respond. he has lurks just sitting there, now he finally ends it but lost all his drones there.
Orion can just starve gogo however, as gogo is almost out of minerals. He should have taken the 7 island a while ago.
|
Osaka26946 Posts
orion now swarming into the t choke and my porno just finished downloading. T trying to take 11, and has to live his nat. Here come the ultras!
|
Osaka26946 Posts
This will be gg now. t is broke. Orion is into the MSL.
|
go.go definitely lost this, after that huge attack by orion, he was really behind in terms on economy and army. Whats worse is go.go didnt stop the expo at 3, or didnt even try to dropship it, allowing orion to tech up to defilers and ultras.
Props to orion for winning this though, although im sure he'll lose in bracket rounds during msl
|
Osaka26946 Posts
i want to know wtf gogo was doing all game. He killed a ton of drones with his first attack. The he just went into zombie mode.
|
Nice. I just missed all the games.
Good morning TL. Good morning Mani. Thx for reports. I'll probably enoy it more than the VODs since the players are rather uninspiring.
|
Back from dinner, go.go thought he was ahead of the game and it was safe to like just macro and do nothing.
Good morning dude =D

Of course. Haha, it was so short lived I forgot about it completely. I wouldn't really call that group the group of death, if Bisu hadn't been beaten by Oov's sneaky build, I'm sure Flash would have gone through. Unfortunately he still has trouble against the top tier protoss players it seems.
|
Well fought by Orion, but as some other people said, he doesn't really belong in MSL. He kinda sucks, but I like his looks!
|
ugh game.. they should let an available spot on msl t_T

Oov? Sneaky build? Oov played almost completely standard; Bisu was the one who cheesed like three times and failed.
Anyways, good job Flash^^;
