Only two days ago Russian powerhouse [image loading]RoX.KIS and European one
[image loading]
Templars of Twilight ended their last match in WGT CL.
Templars won with 3:2 score, getting first spot in ladder, while RoX comes third.

Four teams who will play in play-off:
Templars Of Twilight
ESC.ICY-BOX
RoX.KiS
Los Reyes del Mambo

...but it is not the review of entire WGTCL. Only RoX.KIS vs ToT match. So let me begin...



ToT)Naugrim(, EAPM 144
RoX.KIS.BRAT_OK, EAPM 193
ColosseumII 2.0 - 25:10

Terrans wall-in, and zerg 12expo-pool. Brat-Ok showes good timing, killing sunken and cathing a scan-overlord.

[image loading]

[image loading]


Then we can't see any major battles up to 10:45 when Terran is out (tank and 1-1 for M&M). Muta is not effective since terran is turreted up well, have stim-range-1/1 rines and vessel.
Next we can see lots of fights here and there, and that is where we can find zerg is not that fast enough.
[image loading]

[image loading]

Drones are smoking, while terran is pumping up again and again...
When zerg has no money left on main, he is about to leave. GG




ToT)Naugrim(, EAPM 132
RoX.KIS.BRAT_OK, EAPM 145
God's Garden - 8:34

Nice fast game. Zerg starts as before, while terran is teching to fastdropship!
At 5:54 dropship is ready and Rines are waiting for dropping to mainbase.
[image loading]

[image loading]

Rines are dropped tw-three secs before muta comes into play, and that's enough time to BURN!!
[image loading]

Next drop ends this game.
[image loading]

GG




ToT)ret(, EAPM 172
RoX.KIS.ALF, EAPM 142
ColosseumII 2.0 - 16:03

Standart start from both. Mister Sunken tactics from zerg later on.
[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

But ret showes very impressive control, striking zerg back.
[image loading]

GG




ToT)ret(, EAPM 180
RoX.KIS.ALF, EAPM 135
Blue Storm 1.2 - 14:45

Overpool-exp-lings from zerg, and FE from terran. But this wallin rocks!
[image loading]

Next terran try to break through zerg's the only sunken, but fails.
[image loading]

Some Jaedong muta from ALF, but 10:00 is the time when irradiation comes into play.
[image loading]

Minute after terran scans 10-o'clock exansion (where zerg actualy extracts his gas from) and kills it.
[image loading]

Half a minute later zerg lose all his lurkers and types out.
GG




ToT)ParanOid(, EAPM 158
RoX.KIS.DIMAGA, EAPM 143
ColosseumII 2.0 - 13:58

Both start the same overscan.
[image loading]

though BO is a bit diffirent. Paranoid expand after pool, while Dimaga is heading to fastmutal. At 5th minute paranoid attacks with speedlings and takes out a drone, which seems to be nice in that situation.
Dimaga's faster mutals could only take two drones, as Para's great eco makes possible to massspore the base.
[image loading]

So Dimaga knows he has a mapcontrol advantage, while he has less money. The desision is to expand and +1 armor for muta.
Next both are pumping muta, and Paranoid makes fasthivetech. Lucky for him, Dimaga was a bit scarry to attack, and by the time he made it, Polland player had enough to win.
[image loading]

GG




ToT)ParanOid(, EAPM 136
RoX.KIS.DIMAGA, EAPM 134
Destination 1.1 - 6:35

Mirror start
[image loading]

but Dimaga manages to change first two lings for a drone.
After spire done, Paranoid invest in +1 armor, which is to risky, tho
[image loading]

150 gass advantage was enough for Dimaga.
[image loading]

GG




ToT)ParanOid(, EAPM 154
RoX.KIS.DIMAGA, EAPM 145
Andromeda 1.0 - 8:51

Playes sees each other at 1:25 already
[image loading]

Dimaga's BO: 12 exp, while Para makes 12hatch at home.
Dimaga understand he will be attacked by waves of lings, so he makes teo sunks.
Good gas advantage makes the game more like muta-vs-scourge UMS, where Dimaga wins.
[image loading]

GG




ToT)XiaOzI( - Zerg, EAPM 141
RoX.KIS.Marwin - Terran, EAPM 194
Athena II 2.0 - 17:43

Marwin heads for fastwraight, while Xiaozi makes fasthydra without lair. Wraith gets only one overlord.
[image loading]

Next the game turns to standart bio vs muta-lura-ling, where Xiaozi showes great knowledge of the game, leaving as much forces as needed to hold terran, while attacking his natural
[image loading]

After terran loses everything he types out. GG



BEST GAME OF CLANWAR!

ToT)XiaOzI(, EAPM 125
RoX.KIS.Marwin, EAPM 192
ColosseumII 2.0 - 37:58

Marwin kills a neutral sunken with SCV to insure himself the Canadian won't make some 9pool-sunken push.
[image loading]

But Xiaozi wants fastmuta, and by the way, terran could only scan it (none of two scout SCVs came to zerg's main)
As the result muta is fst enough to break wallin
[image loading]

Next we can see minor fights, where Marwin shows his innattention, losing two-three-five rines here and there, while Xiaozi has a very low-limit force to hold terran for long enough time.
At 20th minuta terran at last kills zerg's first expo
[image loading]

but again, lose two vessels vs two scourges (though marines were only two steps away from vessels!).
At 21:11 terrans wants to kil another exp, but should have started with nydus. Ultra teleports right in time, and exp is saved.
[image loading]

Next Xiaozi showes great psychologilag pressing/map control attacking multiply fronts, making expos unSCV'ed and barracks lifted off.
[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

Thou terran is not going to leave. He fights and kills Zerg's main at half an hour mark
[image loading]

Yet, that was very far from enough to kill the Zerg Swarm.
[image loading]

GG!



ToT)XiaOzI(, EAPM 109
ToT)Mondragon(, EAPM 119
RoX.KIS.DIMAGA, EAPM 192
RoX.KIS.BRAT_OK, EAPM 164
Gaia - 14:33

Two templar zergs start with sunkenpush vs his opponent
[image loading]

[image loading]

and that succeed
[image loading]

[image loading]

BRAT_OK, the only non-zerg playing could not do much to stop Templars. Drops, pushes... But all fails.
[image loading]

GG




ToT)XiaOzI(, EAPM 128
ToT)Mondragon(, EAPM 157
RoX.KIS.DIMAGA, EAPM 145
RoX.KIS.BRAT_OK, EAPM 189
ColosseumII 2.0 - 25:25

Templars start the same
[image loading]

But this time Dimaga somehow manages to break through the containment
[image loading]

and defend himself
[image loading]

Mondragon tries to break terran, but his push fails
[image loading]

When Xiaozi lose his expo, everyone understand who will win
[image loading]

GG




ToT)XiaOzI(, EAPM 105
ToT)Mondragon(, EAPM 103
RoX.KIS.DIMAGA, EAPM 113
RoX.KIS.BRAT_OK, EAPM 168
Vampire - 11:40

Again, templars start the same... But wait... Not the same, but all-in: 9pool first zerg, and 5pool the second one!
[image loading]

Dimaga could not kill the sunken and he lose all his building by 5:10 gametime mark.
[image loading]

[image loading]

BRAT_OK is also helpless in this Tower-Defence game.
[image loading]

[image loading]

GG

And Templars takes three of five games to win. Congratulations!

Thanks for the write up. BRatok fighting .

I find it weird that Dimaga's EAPM is higher in 2v2 than 1v1. Is A2/aoOa still active? I enjoyed watching his play.
