20:20 edt[local]: MarineKing 5 – 2 DongRaeGu. MKP went for quick 3 orbital and DRG got mutas after lings and banes. MKP engaged poorly several times early game and lost his first forces, but after he took a third and held it his marine marauder ball was unstoppable, he rolled over DRG with constant big pressure at the Zerg third and fourth.

19:44 edt: MarineKing 4 – 2 DongRaeGu. Tal'Darim cross. MKP used an interesting timing with 2 reactors to pump out marines, marauders, and blue flame hellions before DRG's third base got running for infestor/ling. DRG almost holds initial push but died when reinforcements came.

19:31 edt: MarineKing 3 – 2 DongRaeGu. Antiga. MarineKing opened with banshees, then did a timing with marauders and tanks. DRG attacked too soon before he had baneling speed and MKP mopped him up.

19:12 edt: MarineKing 2 – 2 DongRaeGu. Shakuras. MKP made 3 quick command centers and DRG broke him with a ling baneling roach bust.

18:42 edt: DongRaeGu 4 – 1 Heart. Antiga. DRG baneling busted, but didn't do enough damage to kill Heart and the game played on normally. DRG was behind all game in upgrades, and as Heart moved out to take the center of the map DRG took him on with infestors and brood lords. Heart was pushed back into his natural, but killed all of DRG's bases with drops, DRG survived with his last several broodlords and killed Heart by baiting a crucial stim and ending it when Heart had no way to kill the last broodlords.

18:18 edt: DongRaeGu 3 – 1 Heart. Dual Sight. Heart tried a cute early third build with a planetary, but it let DRG build up uninhibited and Heart couldn't stop any Zerg expansions. DRG got to infestors and ultras and crushed Heart's army.

17:57 edt: DongRaeGu 2 – 1 Heart. Entombed Valley cross. Heart got to 3-3 on his marines and ground down DRG, pushing with a few thors and marines similar to the game with MKP.

17:28 edt: Heart 4 – 2 HuK. Shakuras. HuK went for a gateway timing again but Heart held, and won when he moved out and sniped colossus in HuK's natural.

17:09 edt: Heart 3 – 2 HuK. Tal'Darim. Heart went 3rax, and HuK won with 1 gate expand because he got an early robo and had an immortal for the initial push.

16:57 edt: Heart 3 – 1 HuK. Daybreak. HuK went for a lot of gateways and a 1-1 timing attack, but Heart also had 1-1 and ground him down until there were no forcefields left. Heart cleaned up once HuK was out of energy.

16:32 edt: HuK vs Heart starting! Heart up 2-1 due to extended series.

16:32 edt: Heart 2 - 1 GanZi. Heart opened with a marine-hellion elevator which killed a large number of SCVs, more than negating GanZi's CC first build. Ganzi tried to utilize his faster siege tank tech to mount a counter attack, but Heart was able to fend it off and retain the lead. Heart then used his economic advantage to outproduce GanZi and won the series.

16:28 edt: HuK 2 – 1 PartinG. Entombed cross. PartinG expanded off 2 gates and a robo, HuK responded by making a dark shrine and attacking with archons. PartinG's immortals aren't enough to hold and HuK runs him over.

16:15 edt: PartinG 1 - 1 HuK. Antiga. PartinG 2 gate expanded, HuK made a dark shrine. PartinG held his nexus with good micro, and got his own dark shrine to kill HuK's second attack while countering his main as well.

16:13 edt: Heart 1 - 1 Ganzi. After expansions on both sides, Heart rushed to stim and medivacs while Ganzi tried to get a little bit of everything. Heart managed to hit a timing where his stimmed, healed marines were able to plow through Ganzi's regular marines with easy, taking out his expansion. GanZi tried to counter attack once he had stim, but Heart had already pulled too far ahead on two bases, and GanZi GG'd out after the attack failed.

16:01 edt: HuK 1 - 0 PartinG. Tal'Darim non-cross. They each opened with 3 gates, PartinG followed it up with a robo while HuK got blink. HuK pressured PartinG with DT/archon/chargelots and kept his expansion long enough to win.

15:58 edt: Ganzi 1 - 0 Heart. After build-ups of marines and tanks on both sides, Ganzi won the first and final engagement by a significant margin to take the game.

15:47 edt: HuK vs PartinG Starting! Ganzi vs Heart too!

15:24 edt: MarineKing 2 - 1 DongRaeGu. Entombed non-cross. MarineKing did a bio-mech build that involved a lot of 3-3 marines and 2-2 thors. DRG couldn't make an army big enough to stop constant onslaught of upgraded units.

15:12 edt: GanZi 2 - 1 viOLet. Shakuras. GanZi pressured viOLet from a sieged position in the center of the map, and viOLet could never quite breathe enough to get broodlords or infestors. Held on for a long time but couldn't break through with pure ling/baneling.

15:06 edt: DongRaeGu 1 - 1 MarineKing. Daybreak. MKP moved out to kill DRG's fourth, and DRG countered at his third and natural with roaches. DRG did enough damage to buy time for broodlords and won with them.

15:03 edt: HuK 2 - 0 NaNiwa. HuK went for double proxy gate zealots and damaged NaNiwa's economy, but NaNiwa managed to get out a few stalkers and went for a complete counter attack. While NaNiwa could theoretically have won with perfect micro against the melee-only HuK, he was unable to take the game.

14:52 edt: viOLet 1 - 1 GanZi. Metal cross. GanZi dropped third and main simultaneously and viOLet couldn't come back with infestor roach after losing his third hatch.

14:51 edt: HuK 1 - 0 NaNiwa. HuK's blink stalker rush blew through NaNiwa's robotics build.

14:43 edt: HuK vs NaNiwa begins!

14:40 edt: MarineKing 1 - 0 DongRaeGu. Dual Sight. MarineKing opened double reactor hellions, and meched. DRG tried an ultra switch but it wasn't strong enough as MKP was able to limit Zerg expos.

14:36 edt: viOLet 1 - 0 GanZi. Daybreak. The game started with GanZi bunkering viOLet's nat, so he baneling busted him. It went into a normal midgame but viOLet had enough of an advantage to keep the initiative.

14:10 edt: Ganzi 2 - 0 JYP. Unstreamed game.

14:04 edt: HuK 4 - 1 Socke (extended series). 3-gate vs 4-gate broke down into an elimination fight on Tal'Darim Altar, but this time HuK got the better of his opponent.

14:02 edt: MarineKing 2 - 1 PartinG. Entombed non-cross. MarineKing did a lot of damage with a 2rax against 1 gate robo, and PartinG tried to counter with 1 base colossus. His attack was easily stopped and MKP won.

14:00 edt: NaNiwa 2 - 1 MC. Antiga cross. Both went for the same blink stalker with observer build, but MC made a nexus and NaNiwa made colossus. Back and forth fight but NaNiwa's colossus pulled it out.

13:51 edt: Ganzi 1 - 0 JYP. Being played off the air.

13:49 edt: Socke 1 - 3 HuK (extended series). After both players went for DT rushes, Socke ended up winning an elimination that came down the last building by about 300 hit points.

13:48 edt: MarineKing 1 - 1 PartinG. Tal'Darim non-cross. Long macro game, PartinG held a fourth and fifth long enough to win war of attrition after MKP ate a lot of storms.

13:45 edt: NaNiwa 1 - 1 MC. Entombed Cross. MC went 1 gate robo into immortal drop, and killed NaNiwa's first colossus at home as well as killed a lot of probes. NaNiwa's counter couldn't break through MC's ramp.

13:36 edt: HuK 3 - 0 Socke (extended series). Socke couldn't hurt HuK's fast expansion with his blink stalkers and lost to HuK's better economy.

13:35 edt: NaNiwa 1 - 0 MC. Metalopolis cross. NaNiwa went for 1 base colossus against 3 gate robo expand, and won with his first 1 colossus attack.

13:31 edt: viOLet 2 - 0 aLive. While aLive tried to go for some low-ground marine-tank tactics on Shakuras, viOlet simply crashed through the front door with roach-baneling bust that devstated aLive.

13:28 edt: Socke vs HuK and NaNiwa vs MC begin!

13:22 edt: viOLet 1 - 0 aLive. aLive lost to a big two base ling-baneling bust.

13:21 edt: Socke 2 - 1 TheStC. The run continues!

13:20 edt: MarineKing 1 - 0 PartinG. MarineKing got an extremely fast 2-2 with double reactor marines and tanks, pushed into PartinG's natural before storm was done and thinned down the colossus number enough to win in a prolongue battle.

13:14 edt: MKP vs PartinG and aLive vs viOLet underway.

13:10 edt: Socke and TheStC tied 1 - 1. Quit holding us up

13:05 edt: Ret 1 - 2 JYP. Dual Sight. JYP did pressure with 4 gates and a stargate after expanding, got several warpins to Ret's main with a hidden pylon and Ret couldn't hold it off before losing too much. JYP killed him with a gateway followup.

12:51 edt: MC 2 - 1 Polt. MC used probes and zealots to pressure Polt's CC first build to begin. Polt decided to follow up with a risky, no-gas 8 rax marine all-in, but it was perfectly countered by MC's choice to go heavy sentries and six gates. After mauling the un-upgraded marines with sentries, MC counter-attacked to advance to the next round.

12:50 edt: Ret 1 - 1 JYP. Ret tried a 2 base roach bust but JYP held with cannons, and Ret GG'ed when he saw the void ray.

12:42 edt: viOLet 2 - 0 SaSe. SaSe tried to do some light warp prism harass into a two base push, but got caught horribly out of position by viOLet and missed his timing entirely. It was trivial for viOLet to throw waves of troops at SaSe off his three bases and finish him off.

12:39 edt: DRG 2 - 0 Heart. Shakuras. Heart went for fast 3 orbital and double upgrades, DRG did a huge muta, baneling, ling bust on 2 bases and killed Heart.

12:38 edt: MC 1 - 1 Polt. MC hit with a 6-gate timing, attacking just before Polt's stim upgrade to take the game.

12:36 edt: Ret 1 - 0 JYP. Daybreak. JYP got a third off 4 gates and some light zealot harass, but Ret pressured it constantly with roaches and overcame the stalker army.

12:28 edt: viOlet 1 - 0 SaSe. SaSe allowed two lings past his wall as he forge FE'd, which ended up influencing the game hugely. viOlet had sight of everything SaSe was doing for a significant period, allowing him to drone up with impunity. SaSe went for desperation DT drops instead of trying to play the game out normally from a disadvantage, but once the drop failed, he was as good as dead.

12:26 edt: Polt 1 - 0 MC. After fast expansion starts on both sides, Polt used split armies effectively when MC went up to three bases. His main army picked at MC's main army with good kiting, while drops harassed MC in his main. Polt ended up gaining an army advantage on both fronts, and used it to simply barrel through MC's third while taking his own. Polt kept up the pressure to finish off MC.

12:24 edt: DRG 1 - 0 Heart. Metalopolis, 12 vs 3. Heart held his own through the midgame but once DRG started harassing with mutas he took over the game and overpowered him.

12:14 edt: MC vs Polt begins as well! Oh, and viOLet vs SaSe!

12:10 edt: DRG vs Heart begins!

12:02 edt: Socke 2 - 1 CrazymovING. Socke opened with multiple cannon rushes after his forge FE, forcing many zerglings from CrazymovING but ultimately leaving himself behind. However, Socke managed to follow into a blink stalker timing, and eventually added templars to kill off CM's third base after several heated battles. Left on 2 base vs 2 base against stalker-templar, CrazymovING opted to try and base trade with his roach-hydra mix, but had his forces cleaned up by Socke for the GG.

11:52 edt: Polt 2 - 1 Oz. Oz went for another fast double expand build, but Polt was able to use his stim & medivac timing to hit Oz at multiple locations and cause heavy damage at each spot. Polt then combined his forces together to steamroll through Oz's front.

11:44 edt: Socke 1 - 1 Crazymoving. The stream cut in and out many times, but Socke seemed to open with a warp prism + mass gates attack that did fairly well, and then used stargate units to harass Crazymoving and negate his mutas.

11:42 edt: Ret 2 - 1 Golden. Played off-stream.

11.39 edt: Oz 1 - 1 Polt. Oz opened with a double expand into 6-gate pressure, but Polt fended it off without much trouble. Polt then went for his own aggression with drops, but Oz in turn didn't take too much damage. The game was decided by clashes in the field where Polt couldn't deal with Oz's storms effectively enough, taking big losses and giving Oz the lead. Oz was able to raze Polt's third base a couple of times and eventually took the game.

11:36 edt: SaSe 2 - 0 HayprO. Antiga Shipyards. SaSe went double robo and started with sentry drop, made a lot of colossus and immortals and HayprO couldn't muster enough to stop it.

11:21 edt: SaSe 1 - 0 HayprO. Daybreak. SaSe took a quick third and both players maxed out. Then the stream died and apparently SaSe won, presumably winning the engagement before HayprO had enough infestors or broodlords.

11:17 edt: Crazymoving 1 - 0 Socke. Socke was getting creamed by mutas before the stream went down, so no surprise.

11:15 edt: Polt 1 - 0 Oz. Both players signed an early-mid game non-aggression treaty and allowed each other to build up the armies they wanted. When they finally clashed, Polt flattened Oz with alarming ease, taking game one.

11:13 edt: Golden defeats Rain 2 - 0.

11:01 edt: Oz vs Polt, HayprO vs SaSe and Crazymoving vs Socke begin

10:55 edt: SaSe vs HayprO coming up on Gameplay 2, while @robpsimpson says Polt vs Oz will be up on Gameplay 1.

10:35 edt: Socke 2 - 0 DeMusliM. After some early marine kills allowed him to secure his tech and third base safely, Socke annihilated DeMusliM in the open field with a maxed out army.

10:30 edt: Polt defeats KawaiiRice 2 - 0 off-stream (streams still off, neat!).

10:23 edt: SaSe defeates SeleCT 2 - 0 off-stream (Off-stream? How???)

10:18 edt: Socke 1 - 0 DeMusliM. After expanding, Socke went for a cute sentry drop harass into fast colossus build. DeMusliM tried to apply pressure before colossus range was done, but didn't do enough damage or buy enough time. Socke broke through DeMusliM's front with his gateway unit + colossi force to take the game.

10:07 edt: DeMusliM vs Socke begins.

9:30 edt: Just chillin'
