Ret vs Artosis

Ret at 8 o'clock opened with 12Hatch into Spire. It soon turned out that Artosis spawned at 6 o'clock, making the game a 'neighborhood' battle. Though it wasn't revealed, I'm pretty sure Terran went for 2Rax into CC build. Ret initially responded with gang of Speedlings that watched over Artosis' natural entrance. Those 'dogs' ate 2 careless Marines, which completely discouraged M&M counter, thus allowing Ret to skip some Sunkens and get 3rd Hatch in 1 o'clock main even before Spire was finished. The timing turned out perfectly, and Zerg ended up with 9 Mutas harassing the enemy left and right. Artosis' turrets were slightly off-time and Ret's clever maneuvers abused the difficulties infantry groups have when moved through ramps. With instructive micro, Zerg sniped full-control group of Marines, as well as some SCV's, few Turrets and Starport. This violent attack bought him a lot of time to power-up economy at 3rd base and swich to Lurkers. After using Mutas and Lings as defensive screen against Marines, Ret marched with 7 Lurkers into Terran natural, catching off-guard poorly positioned Tanks and forcing GG.

Ret vs Artosis 1-0

At 6 o'clock Ret again used 12Hatch, this time without immediate Overlord scout. Yet, his Drone after long trip found Terran who's been finishing 1st Barracks. Artosis' initial Marine inflicted some damage to Drone, but Ret managed to keep it alive long enough to plant a manner Hatchery in opponent's natural. Amused with this, Artosis went for more Marines instead of early expo, which actually paid off a bit, when Mutas arrived. This time M&M's horde caught some intruders in the middle of their dirty job and sniped. However, Artosis was once again unable to inflict any damage on Ret's expos and Swarm went unharassed into the moment he had bunch of Lurkers. Finally, Terran pushed out with Tank support, but after two beautifully executed attacks he was caught in the middle first and pounded at his choke second time.

Ret vs Artosis 2-0
