Thirty-something minutes.

Set 2: Fighting Spirit:
Pure spawns as the blue protoss at 11 o'clock.
Special spawns as the sky brown terran at 1 o'clock.

Ripe opportunity for a timing push and a third game. Please, go 12 nexus Pure, save us.

My God that game is finally over. That was literally the worst, most painful pro-game I have ever seen. So sad that one of these players has to advance while we can only get one of Light / Zero.

And to think + Show Spoiler +

Pure going for 1gate tech, Special is doing 1rax gas without a wall at his ramp. Both players scout at the wrong direction, but upon seeing the SCV, pure makes the right decision and sends his first zealot right to his opponent's main. The scouting SCV sees Pure's build but is killed by a dragoon.

Robo going up for pure, Special accumulates 6 marines and a tank and moves out in the middle of the map, but retreats.

Observatory goes up for Pure, and he places down an expansion. Special also places down an expansion.

Pure tries to pressure the terran somewhat, but siege is done and he is forced to retreat. Barely blocks a vulture that tries to sneak up his ramp. He clears out 9 o'clock and sends a probe to place a nexus but it gets ambushed by a vulture.

Pure has teched up to templar archives and has a decent amount of dragoons. Special moves with some vults, marines and about 6 tanks, setting up position in the middle of the map but Pure circles around with some dragoons and starts killing his natural! A lot of SCVs lost!

Special has now setup a blockade in front of the Protoss' fat bridge, as per Day[9]'s reccomendation and has managed to clean up the goons in his nat.

I think deep down I actually want Special to qualify. Pure is just gonna get eaten alive in the OSL with this sort of play, and Special actually has the fighting spirit. Plus he really is sorta fun to watch...

Pure tries to break out, not very effective mine drags but he simply has too many stuff and manages to force his opponent back! He's looking to expand to 9 o'clock now.

Special advancing again, this time with a substantial vulture regiment added to his army. He decimates Pure's forces, but is only slightly ahead in army count due to heavy casualties.

Special has reinforced solidly, and is looking to attack Pure's nat again, but he gets DT dropped in his nat. He manages to clean it without receiving too much damage. Special crosses the bridge, and he immediately receive a dragoon force up his nat.

I liked watching Special, he has something many progammers lack: facial expression.

Wow, I can't believe Special didn't mine ANY counter routes. It was obvious what any competent player would do. It's as if Special was just going through the motion and never figured he would win anyways.
