This week's game is a PvZ on heartbreak ridge between bisu, possibly the best PvZer around today, and yellow, a recent addition to the ace proteam after having been on the KTF bench for ages.
The game opens quite standard with bisu opting for a fast expansion on the left, and yellow going for an overpool build with a quick extractor on the right of the map. Bisu shows some uncharacteristic poor play by quickly getting his probe surrounded by yellow's first 6lings shortly after they hatch, and losing it before even scouting the hatchery that yellow adds at his nat.
Unphased the early mishap, bisu hides a probe in the trees outside his main, waiting for the opportune moment to slip into yellow's main unnoticed. Yellow initially searches for stray scouting probes, but unable to find one, sends his speed upgraded lings to bisu's choke, where he encounters a couple of cannons, and wisely retreats his force.
In the meantime, bisu is teching to stargate in accordance to standard protoss play, while yellow, on the other hand, has opted for a not so orthodox strategy, starting his lair on 2 bases, and adding a hydra den. Unfortunately for him,bisu's sneaky probe makes its way into his main after ascertaining the absence of a third base, scouting out his entire build.
yellow, however, continues mind games with bisu, sending a drone to mine out the mineral patches blocking the entrance to the cliff behind bisu's nat. Ingenious play by yellow, forcing bisu to worry about both his front being broken, and lurkers running up through the back and taking out his probes.
Bisu, deciding to play safe, adds 2 more cannons at his choke, and 2 cannons behind the cliff at his nat, completely neglecting the possibility of a slow drop that is indeed coming, ironically, from above the same trees that bisu had hidden his probe at.
The slow drop with a cargo of 8 lings and 2 hydras begins making its way into bisu's main as his corsair spawns, and the commentators go crazy as the observer follows it first making its way straight to yellow's main, then taking a detour north to find the overlords moving into his main.
The drop unloads successfully, and the hydras begin their morph into lurkers as the lings sprint into the main, looking to take down any freshly warping cannons. With a mere few non speed zealots for defense, the speedlings were able to outmanuevre them, taking out the initial 2 warping cannons. However, bisu's probe and zealot micro eventually overcame the zerglings, along a third cannon to begin to warp in.
The lurkers, however, quickly spawned, and made their way towards the warping cannon. Bisu attempts to block with his probe/zeal combination, but is unsuccessful, with yellow burrowing his lurkers and taking out a decent number of probes, but the cannons eventually warp in, and bisu defends against the lurkers.
Obs already out, it seems bisu should be fine from the zerg drop shennanigans, with a second drop at bisu's nat only netting a single probe kill. But yellow, true to his aggressive style, and not wanting to let up the pressure, continues the drop game, this time loading up a decent sized hydra/lurker army into 4 speedoverlords, and rallying hydras from his 3 hatcheries (with 1 recently added), to the right of bisu's main, where they can be conveniently elevated in.
Bisu's defense of 3 cannons, a handful of zealots and a reaver in his main, looked like it would be able to take on the drop, and not wanting to let yellow elevator too many hydras, where the numbers might overwhelm his defenses, into his main, bisu decides to engage the force. Sadly, bisu makes the second micro error of the day, losing a critical second reaver by walking it into yellow's hydra army.
After some attempts to dodge yellow's hydras while doing as much damage as possible, bisu loses the other reaver as well, and the continuous hydra reinforcements eventually overwhelm bisu's 1 gateway and 1 robotics zealot/reaver production, with yellow dodging bisu's scarabs excellently, loading his hydras into his overlords just as the scarab is about to hit.
Bisu, having lost his main, now decides to fortifiy his nat and hope the shitty zerg economy might mean there's still a hope for him in this game. He sends out zealots to harass yellow's drones, but they are quickly cleaned up by yellow's new mutas. These mutas sweep into bisu's nat, taking out 2 critical defending reavers, allowing yellow's hydra lurker army to come in, destroy the defending cannons and take tehg ame.
As the game ends, the crowd goes wild, chanting the name of the storm zerg, who, with his unorthodox strategy, effective mind games, and all out aggressiveness, has stolen a game off the top PvZ player of today.
