This series was scheduled at the last minute. So there would be no mind games here. GumBa was clearly a machine, a mini-Bogus, a macro monster. Lorning was the early WoL PvP master… as in he goes 4gate every game. Both of these players should know this, so there couldn't be any mind games.

Although, if there are no mind games, couldn't that be used as a mind game?


+ Show Spoiler +
Oh sure, both players pretended that this was going to be a fun, clean match as they exchanged friendly banter concerning their favorite people to give shoutouts to.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Oh yeah, and Jungle Basin is "uber shit".


However, it's not long before Lorning's true intentions are revealed!!

&#91;image loading&#93;

GumBa scans the four gate and prepares ample defense, but does not repair with SCVs when Lorning attacks. He nearly loses a bunker.

&#91;image loading&#93;
The counter to 4 gate is to expand really fast and then just make a bunch of bunkers.


Lorning practices his force field placement and unit positioning. The advantage of playing the first game of a series like this is that you can warm up, if you haven't been able to play recently.

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

However, in doing so, Lorning accidentally managed to break into GumBa's base.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Those SCVs aren't doing anything...


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

A ferocious battle ensued and both sides took heavy losses. I expected both of them to rebuild a bit before going at it again, but Lorning surprised everyone, even me.

&#91;image loading&#93;
&#91;image loading&#93;
That's right, he pulled the boys in PvT. Bet you didn't see that coming.


I don't even know what's going on here.

&#91;image loading&#93;

Wait.. wait… I think I see it now. Yes. GumBa is definitely dead.

&#91;image loading&#93;

However, GumBa is literally FanTaSy, so he kept rallying his barracks away from the stalkers to try to gather up enough units to hold.

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

Lorning decided to take away GumBa's only potential advantage besides tech.

&#91;image loading&#93;

GumBa is still trying to micro tiny groups of bio, this time against zealots.

&#91;image loading&#93;

Lorning piles on the BM/tilt to gain an edge in the rest of the series.

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

Lorning therefore takes the first map… with a 4-gate, on a jungle map, against a player that was trying to play economically… this seems familiar.

Anyway, GumBa's original plan seems to have not worked out. Can he adjust it in time to win the series?



+ Show Spoiler +
Probes are pulled offensively again later this series.

Best games ever. I saw this live and it was hilarious. I really did not expect the probe pull tho. Templar, I think it would help your casting if you turn down your music/game music/game sounds and turn up the mic volume some. It gets kind of hard to hear you, especially during a few very loud background music tracks that drown out literally every other sound on the cast.

Noted, thanks.

Also, King Sejong Station was the best part of that series. By far. Although game 5 was pretty awesome too :D

Gumba made the very common mistake of not expecting the Lorning 4-gate.
