Lorning The_Templar Lorning 
The_Templar Lorning 
The_Templar Lorning <> 
The_Templar Lorning <> The_Templar Lorning <> The_Templar Lorning <> The_Templar1-1
Lorning picked Fruitland because he had already played on the best map, Slag Pits, and he couldn't play on it again. The_Templar was undaunted and picked zerg.
Will The_Templar manage to hit another timing before Lorning is ready? Will Lorning's protoss builds shine through again? Can we get a game that doesn't involve someone cheesing???

Nope, 10 pool.

Meanwhile, Lorning goes forge first… at his ramp.

Lorning then scouts the 10pool, and despite The_Templar's proclamation of "the truth", he is probably snickering to himself as he plants the photon cannon at his main ramp.

The zerglings run past the cannon, two of them dying, before getting into the probe line.

As the game is about even, The_Templar begins macroing normally. His macro is slightly better than his micro.

Lorning charges into The_Templar's third with a somewhat superior army. However, The_Templar is up 18 workers.

The mothership core was late for the battle and paid dearly.

Lorning takes a 2-1 lead.
The_Templar played a decent game here, but went for the wrong composition. A roach/hydra composition would have been nice against a more macro protoss, as he could eventually mix in vipers against colossi, but against Lorning, who he knew wasn't taking a third using his overlords, he should have gone hydra/ling.

It's the stuchiu build!

Stargate AND a robotics facility, and +1 attack! Why didn't anyone else think of this?
The_Templar pokes at the front and sees 3 cannons and a void ray.
Below gold league, this would be telling of mass voids.

Mass hydralisks might have worked better than mostly roaches with a few hydralisks...
