OGN Dual Tournament 2006 S1 (Jul 06 - Aug 06) - Page 4

Game One: ShinHwa[Name] (Z) < Ever)P(TT (P)
Map: 815 III
Ever played very defensively this game, taking a secret early expo and defending all his exps with plenty of PSI STORM against the hydra masses. eventually he teched to carr/sairs and swatted a few expos to shut down shinhwa before making a final carr/sair/archon/temp push and completely obliterating the hydra/dev army. GG

Game Two: Child (Z) < Shine[Name] (T)
Map: 815 III
Child fast expands and goes for a lurker first build while Shine uses 1 rax acad and then takes his nat. Child attempts to keep the front at Shine's nat with lurkerling, but Shine pushes him back with a constant stream of tanks and an infinite supply of comsat. Child can neither slow the advance nor damage it whatsoever, so he is forced to GG.

Winners Game: Ever)P(TT (P) < Shine[Name] (T)
Map: Cultivation Period
Ever lays down two proxy gates in the middle of the map, rallying zeals into Shine's main, but Shine holds off the rush with marine/vult/scv micro. Goons begin to flood into his main, but he manages to get a tank out and take on 3 goons with a single tank and scvs. once Shine got some breathing room, he played a pretty by the book game, taking his nat and slowly pushing to Ever's main with tanks and vults. Ever's rush/reaver harass just couldn't knock him off his solid footing. GG

Shine[Name] (T) moves on to the OSL.

Losers Game: ShinHwa[Name] (Z) > Child (Z)
Map: Cultivation Period
Both players 9 pool to begin the match, but a little bit of dumb luck/intuition for Child gives him a slight economic advantage with an early ling sneak to pick off a drone or two and halt mining for a good 10 seconds. However, later in the match, ShinHwa tips the scales in his favor by defending against a muta/ling attack with his own mutas while taking down Child's nat with a great ling sneak. With the huge advantage of a functional nat, it is only a matter of time before Child is forced to GG.

Child (Z) is eliminated from the ODT.

Final Game: ShinHwa[Name] (Z) < Ever)P(TT (P)
Map: Rush Hour III
Ever decides to play FE while ShinHwa[Name] 9 pools. The lings do not arrive in time to stop the cannons from warping in, so ShinHwa decides to take his nat. However, Ever has an ace up his sleeve, and shortly after warping in his nat cannons, warps in 3 cannons behind ShinHwa's natural mins. ShinHwa's lings narrowly miss the cannons on the way to Ever's nat, and as a result, ShinHwa's fresh expansion is wiped out while Ever's is just going online. While you, me, the commentators, and both players know the game is over, ShinHwa keeps playing for pride and Ever knows not the meaning of haste. Ever attempts to expand twice, securing the 9 oclock expo and even giving ShinHwa a chance to ram his entire hydra/muta/lurk/ling force into the easily defended natural before he makes his final push. GG

ShinHwa[Name] (Z) is out of the ODT, and Ever)P(TT (P) moves on to the OSL.

Several stupid attacks with mass goons vs. tanks protected by many vultures and neutral buildings..what a sacrifice
