2-1


After a crucial victory involving battlecruisers, The_Templar is having a resurgence of confidence. With the usage of the capital ship along with bio/tank, he was able to defeat GumBa's carrier-based composition and secure his first victory.

But from this point it will be even less easy to take maps. GumBa's map pick is King Sejong Station for a reason...


+ Show Spoiler +
Both players were intending to go town hall first, but workers blocked both expansions. Therefore, GumBa did the most reasonable thing a zerg could do in this situation.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Fail probe patrol at the expansion.


In response, The_Templar did the least reasonable thing a protoss could do in this situation

&#91;image loading&#93;
Creative!!


A cannon rush was attempted but GumBa got zerglings out really quickly.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Maybe the cannon rush would have worked if you hadn't build a freaking nexus in his base.


GumBa finished his proxy hatchery and got some zerglings into The_Templar's base. However, they met a gruesome fate.

&#91;image loading&#93;
"Zergling split ez pz"


The_Templar started cleaning up the hatchery, but GumBa got a queen and planted a creep tumor.

&#91;image loading&#93;

See that zealot killing the hatchery? The hatchery got back at him.

&#91;image loading&#93;
I would say "Zealot split ez pz" but that joke is getting old.


GumBa was the first player to do something actually reasonable by taking his third since the nexus was still blocking the natural.

&#91;image loading&#93;
The_Templar confirmed more creative. GumBa should have taken The_Templar's third.


The queen is killed too late.

&#91;image loading&#93;

Since creep still blocks the expansion, The_Templar decides that a 1 base, 4 gate carrier build is the best build.

&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;

Meanwhile, he's expanding to his third.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Maybe he's going to cannon rush it.


GumBa decides it's a good idea to get a fourth base and a spire against a 1 base all-in.

&#91;image loading&#93;

Protoss and zerg units were living here in harmony and peaceful coexistence until the carrier showed up.

&#91;image loading&#93;

The_Templar does an attack.

&#91;image loading&#93;
He remembered the battle cry!


GumBa somehow rolled the game back a bunch of patches and became a patchzerg. All he really needed for the first 15 minutes were a lot of queens, obviously.

&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;
These protoss units are all about to die. The carrier gets away of course.


&#91;image loading&#93;

GumBa goes full counterattack mode and runs into another unsuccessful cannon rush attempt.

&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;
What was this even supposed to be?


The_Templar retreats to his third, while making even more carriers.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Based on how the last few games have gone, First vs Life could happen here.


GumBa just starts spreading creep.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Note the templar archives...


He also gets a hive. He has a roach warren and spire as well but he's only made zerglings and queens.

&#91;image loading&#93;

An oracle is scouting around for The_Templar, who finally remembered to clear up the creep in his natural.

&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;
Unfortunately, it's just going to fly into GumBa's army.


The_Templar prepares to attack the mass queen/zergling army of GumBa. Note that there are a lot of high templars in the mix.

&#91;image loading&#93;

Mass feedback is cast on the queens.

&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;
If only there was storm...


&#91;image loading&#93;
This took a bad turn.


&#91;image loading&#93;

Zerglings pour into the third base and demolish it.

&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;

GumBa forgets about the zerglings and they all die to carriers.

&#91;image loading&#93;
90 kills on a carrier is rather impressive even if it is just zerglings.


Queens arrive and chase off the carriers by killing all of the interceptors.

&#91;image loading&#93;
So much creep spread… I think this is Scarlett playing or something.


GumBa follows up with another attack.

&#91;image loading&#93;

The_Templar is forced to GG at this point, as there are just no more units for him to make.

&#91;image loading&#93;

After one of the most one-sided losses in the series, The_Templar is running out of options. He's shown a clear inability to deal with frustrating situations such as blocks on his expansions in this game, so he'll have to play safe. But he's been crushed in all but one macro game, so he'll have to all-in. How can he do both?

Can he actually manage to ever take 3 maps in a row in this situation?


+ Show Spoiler +
Those HTs get storm later in the series.

I actually let those lings die to make more supply for queens and I went full TRUE in that game
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

I honestly can't tell the difference between this game and a GSL finals game.

Also, GumBa such a patch-randomzerg with all those queens.

God damnit I wish there was a new LRSL. Maybe that would restore my passion.

Make the comeback Templar!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

There's a possible LR tournament but there wouldn't be very many people in it.
LRSL will probably happen at blizzcon and everyone will pick a player like last year but this is unconfirmed.

The first tournament is invite-only and I'm probably inviting based on the LR power rank. Second ones s is first come first serve

#The_TemplarMicro is very serious and should only be used when units that are easily micro'd get clumped up or surrounded and obliterated as a result when they really shouldn't have, when the player is obviously paying attention to the battle.
Examples:
+ Show Spoiler +
&#91;image loading&#93;

Marines are clumped up and destroyed by like 3 banelings. The_Templar is doing nothing at home besides building marines with hotkeys so he's obviously looking at the battle.

&#91;image loading&#93;

Reaper gets surrounded by probes because The_Templar is typing.


This is superior to TheBest micro because the player mis-microing has no reason whatsoever to mess up and still does. TheBest wasn't really paying that much attention to his banshees for example.
