So far, Lorning has been executing moderately effective cheese. While these cheeses don't win outright, they force GumBa into uncomfortable positions, from which he tends to crumble. GumBa needs to stay focused if he wants to win this series.

Hey look, cheese.

Lorning's strategy is very innovative, as GumBa doesn't scout much. Meanwhile, it seems GumBa has not actually learned yet, as he is going CC first.

Surely probes won't help much in this fight..
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4BxZ2rl.png)
Never mind, Lorning lands amazing force fields and GumBa doesn't pick up his units. GumBa is forced to pull SCVs now.

The probes from the main are less successful.

The cheese wheel never stops rolling, except it seems to have rolled off the cliff into a hidden location.
Lorning's strategy is very innovative, as GumBa doesn't scout much. Meanwhile, it seems GumBa has not actually learned yet, as he is going CC first.
He's pretty much a robot, much like his favorite sc2 player.

Current dead SCV count: 5

Lorning is forced to try to defend or base trade, and he chooses to pull the girls.
Choo choo
Lorning even gets the probes from his main to join in.
This train is about as long as the hype train for the GSL finals, and will probably crash as hard too.

GumBa manages to pick off that pylon but there's another one behind it.

Oh yeah, by the way, the other CC is burning down? While the first one is being killed by stalkers?

Sick timing.

Anyway, the other CC has plenty of health and managed to get to the corner… wait… it's coming back?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nVBZsJl.png)
And GumBa suicides his entire army? This is not good for him.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Xe606R4.png)
GumBa realizes that his best hope is to hide his CC. He lifts it and sends it to the corner, and since it's still burning, he sends an SCV to repair it.
The SCV kept repairing about 5 health, and then the CC moved out of the range of the SCV's repair and lost 3-4 health. It was basically a tug of war until it reached 500 health.

GumBa does have one hope left! Somehow, he kept just one marine and one medivac alive.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aRJQnIG.png)
Actually, let's be realistic. Marines aren't that good.
