Hidden message in the in-game chat before EffOrt vs. Fantasy in the SKT vs. CJ ACE match!

Look at the pregame -

Effort's inital plan was not all in lings because if you watch the replay they show him with a lair and den. Clearly this was some spur of the moment deal. Still, fucking sexy by effort.

He won the game by attack moving (1a2a3a, 1-3 being the control groups of lings, a the keyboard shortcut for attack) the lings he built from his 3 hatches (5sz6sz7sz, 5-7 are the hatches, s the shortcut to select the hatchery's larvae, z the shortcut to build zerglings). He was basically showing Fantasy what he was going to do.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

I freaking love EffOrt, I've been watching him since he started playing Courage League.. He's so good... He has that new wave precision but he's learning from old school dudes like sAviOr and GGplay, can't go wrong. Infusion with the old and the new. Watch out for this asian suckaz

probably that effort was warming up. There are many people who go 1a2a3a4a5a23423a3a4a5a before matches start


Although it was a cool version of the oversky build. Timing break

Yeah, this seems real cool, but progamers always do that in the chat, and I don't know if the ling all-in was premeditated or spur of the moment... it'd be cool if it was, but I'm guessing this is just coincidence. ^_^

was definitely a practiced counter to the fantasy vulture drop build, the ling and speed timings were too precise to be spur of the moment. likely as soon as effort scouted that fantasy was going gas or fac before cc he committed to this
