Stolen from motbob because this gave me a chuckle Sunday, April 4th 2010, KST + Show Spoiler [Spoilered for results navigation] + Another night, another... night of Starcraft! Yeah! For tonight's matches, we bring you another four players vying for a spot in the Ro16. With all of
ToSsGirL 's love (darn I need to find that interview!), our first contestant tonight...
"Who's smug now?"
Kal !
Team:
STX SouL Last 10 games: 6-4
Oh
Kal , though I'm sad to see you drop on the power ranking this month, it is warranted. After all, you failed against
Neo.G_SoulKey , letting
Stars AK your team! ...Either way, while
Kal has hasn't had the most terrific time for the last while, he is still playing
well , as evidenced in his recent game against
Flash . He's also placed into both leagues by virtue of his seeding, but either way he's going to have to impress tonight. Can he KO the
Magikarp ? Will he be able to overcome the "imba" of ZvP in order to shut down
great and
YellOw[ArnC] ? Stay tuned to see.
"Why am I so tall? Goojilla? That's right you better run in fear." For his first match,
Kal faces up against quite the modifier, Tony the Tiger's favourite word, the awesome adjective known as...
"Mentally italicized for emphasis"
great !
Team:
Samsung KHAN Last 10 games: 5-5
While
great does boast boast a 45-25 record against Protosses, unfortunately the ones he has triumphed over have not been anywhere near that of
Kal 's level. However, this is
great 's night to be great, and tonight, mutalisks will fly, zerglings will scamper, and lurkers will look cool on screen as he tries to take down
Kal . Will he be able to do it?
"Frosted flakes! They're more than good, they're..." On the other half of the board, we have ourselves... what is this? A wild Magikarp appeared? Alas, it is not the
fearsome Pokemon that has flopped into our midst, it's...
"Why isn't
Jaedong gay for me
"
HiyA !
Team:
Hwaseung OZ Last 10 games: 5-5
Interestingly enough,
HiyA hasn't played a zerg in 11 games! (Last zerg he played was
great ) And tonight he finds himself facing one that has won an OSL silver medal. Is
HiyA up to the challenge? Given the current state of TvZ as well as his 62.86% TvZ winrate,
HiyA must be ready for tonight. Will it be enough to take down
YellOw[ArnC] ? Stay tuned, folks, for tonight Magikarp could potentially evolve into Gyarados, destroying everybody in
2009 2010!
"This Magikarp that knows more than just Splash and Tackle..." (I also know Flail!) Finally, (as flamewheel91 slowly runs out of time) we have a very old player amongst us, one who has been tearing up the fields and maps of Starcraft since 2003. Please give it up for...
"No, you're thinking of the OTHER
YellOw "
YellOw[ArnC] !
Team:
hite SPARKYZ Last 10 games: 5-5
YellOw[ArnC] , throughout the course of his Starcraft career, has accumulated a very nice winrate over Terrans, coming in at over 60%. However,
today's metagame for TvZ has not been kind on Zergs. Is
YellOw[ArnC] going to be able to turn the clock back a year, back to the days of the 2009 Bacchus OSL, where he defeated the likes of
Flash and
Light ? Or will he be just another victim to the ever-growing power of the Terran Death Ball?
Actually, my favourite colour is green? + Show Spoiler [flamewheel91's faildictions] + Kal 2-0
HiyA 2-1
great 1-2
YellOw[ArnC] 0-2
+ Show Spoiler [Reasoning behind Group D] + This is the first group that has a protoss player in it... so I'm looking forward to more varied matches.
Kal is solid, very solid, in PvZ with a very nice winrate. Conversely, while
great 's 45-25 ZvP record seems nice statistically, his wins are mostly over relatively lower-class players. Given the state that
Kal has been playing in recently, I predict that he'll take the match. On the other side of the quad,
HiyA 's TvZ is nothing to laugh at (he has
Jaedong for a training partner... yeah...), and even though
YellOw[ArnC] 's ZvT is of comparable statistics, I think Magikarp will be able to splash his way to victory given today's TvZ standard. For the winner's match,
Kal 's PvT has been monstrous of late (see his latest game against
Flash ), and that'll put him slightly over
HiyA in a (hopefully) epic match. Another ZvZ comes in for the loser's bracket, and for some odd reason I'm feeling
great over
YellOw[ArnC] , though I'm not comfortable about this one. Either way,
HiyA will walk over whichever zerg manages to come out of the loser's side, putting him and
Kal in the Ro16.
A perplexing conundrum! Post me streams and I'll list them here.http://tv.zeroboy.net/mystlord (Mystlord I love you, have I ever told you that?)

Kal going for 2gate FE at his nat. Ooh. Yeah, I'm getting double sounds. Oh well, twice the sex.
12hatch from great. lolololol!

LoL its like a record skipping
pool starts for great. He finally sends out a dronescout (his OL is going the wrong way) and the grone is going cross-map so he'll scout Kal very very last.
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Uh oh! 12hatch for great. This could get ugly quite fast... Both players scouting wrong way, so luckily Kal will find great last... great sending out a drone scout. Oh man, it's going to see the 2gate!
2 zealots already out and headed towards great's base with 3 probes + scouting probe already there great's pool just finished there will be PAIN!

2 drones morph creep colonies, more drones pulled, 4 lings out only 3 drones mining...
lol the 3 probes finished that sunk at the last second!
2 creep colonies killed, one mroe morphing both zealots and a one probe still lives, another has joined the fray more zealots on their way

Two zealots going! They're at the hatch... Three probes arrive as reinforcements. Two creep colonies going! Drones pulled! Two zealots out of three down! Probes get both creeps! Another morphing! Will it finish? ... For the next post!
finally one sunken actually finishes, kal sits his forces below the nat for now great starts his main gas, he's so far behind
Kal still pumping Zealots
great ading another sunken - but kal attacking before it finishes with 7 zealots
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Kal pulls back! Though I'd say great lost quite a bit what with lost mining time and money spent on creeps... Kal going in again with 7 zealots! One of two sunks falls! Kal pulls back again. Lol double sounds.
Kal not teching/? whaaaaat
Kim Ku Hyun seonsu!! Kim Ku Hyun seonsu!! Kim Ku Hyun seonsu!! 2 lings get into kal's main
one sunken killed, one zealot lost, and kal backs off 2 lings head into kal's main, with one slow zealot following
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Two lings into Kal's main! Why no tech for Kal?
Kal, why go all in ><, just throw down a forge and expand plz
both players simply pumping basic units, no tech is kal expanding?
Kal looks massively behind o.O
2 lings still being annoying in the main 7 or so zealots sit below great's nat, but another 4 are hidden behind them

That's what happens when 2 gate fails to kill the expansion or atleast 10 drones off 12 hatch.
tooo many lings, Kal is fucked why dammit why
lingspeed finishes and lots of lings attack kal's zealots in a line lots of blood - but kal left with 3 zealots as the lings leave and run towards kal's base - kal has no defenses!
great started his lair, kal started his expansion - now he's vulnerable

No tech from either player... Lots of lots and lings. Also the two lings in the main are still alive... no probe kills though. ENGAGEMENT OUTSIDE great's BASE! Lings versus lots~ Oh man way too many zerglings... Kal's like oh shit. 10 lings heading toward Kal's base. 3 lots to defend, bolstered by the choke made by two gateways. I just had a 300 flashback.
"great is massively behind" "Kal has this" etc etc
plzplzplz get cannons Kal
another ling slips into kal's main - one probe kill!
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
One ling left in main has 2 kills on probes... Kal expanding now...
dang that was a lot of zerglings.
lots of probes pulled to defend the wall - but they return to mine spire going up for great kal finally starts two cannons at his wall, and his main gas but no defense in his main, and the overlord knows it!
more cannons in main or lose
If Kal defends this next mutalisk attack, he'll have a chance. Great is still on 2 base and the drone counts aint healthy
.... Kal had this easily in a straight-up game. why the fuck did he feel the need to 2-gate?
finally kal adding a cybercore - but he's going to be in for a surprise as mutas come to ruin his day he tries to sneaky scout with a probe, but lings kill it after a sunken hits first

Probe escapes sunkens! Hides! MOOTAAAAAAAAAA! great looking to take 3rd. MUTAS IN MAIN RAPING PROBESSSSSSSSSS
no cannons in main, no stargate, Kal is fucked. only hope is that there are only 4 mutas. hes sending zlots to attack but theres 3 sunks there
ummm, didn't the game end already...?
mutas ripping apart tons of probes in the main - kal sending one group of zealots to great's nat!
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Kal trying to counter. MUTASSSSSSSSSSs in nat! Oh man zealots get cleaned up easily. Two goons to defend the nat, but they fail to stop probe kills! Main devoid of probes... Yeah Kal. This is what you get for going all-in.
3 sunkens and a mass of lings put a stop to that 2 goons are out to help defend kal's nat mineral line - but his main is empty of probes, and his nat greatly reduced great expands to 3
yeah the game ended awhile ago, but some people have streams that are behind
what an old school game

I don't know, I'd love to see zergs die on it more. Reminds me so much of katrina just for the sheer amount of resources.
Wow, really easy depot/rax wall off. Looks like marines are going to spawn on the outside though.
... Hiya you arnt Leta dammit overlord driven away
Marine shoos the ovie away right before the ovie sees the starports.
Wow, wraith coming out and den is just finishing.
kills an overlord at his base, revealing his hand, hydra in position to fend it off, only gets 1 drone and 1 overlord

I think they decided Ultimatum wasn't imba enough to stop Jaedong, so they made an even more imba Terran map.
Cloak is being upgraded and Hiya is showing off some sexy micro lol.
scourge out, nice control snipes 2 of them
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Nice wraith micro by HiyA. Mmmm.
Hiya repairs his wraiths, snipes another scourge. dont think hes doing enough damage with this opening.... getting turrets to supplement defense, zerg adding spores
interesting, 2port wraiths into mnm, not mech
Fake yellow making mutas but turrets are already up and wraiths got repaired. Yay, lets throw away more scourge.
can someone tell me how you can use that neutral arbiter to your advantage
but it could work if yarnc is expecting mech
Hiya flies through a spore on his way out, got like 3 drones that run =/
lol have any scourge landed yet?
On the other hand, Hiya hasn't done much damage at all, and Yarnc is on 3 bases

toss mind control. other than that.....
the neutral arb is there to cloak the lurker eggs, it's not for the player's advantage wraiths destroy all the drones at 6
lol stupid yarnc, burrow doesnt work when terran has scans. mutas countering the main, M&M all die
Hiya's wraiths find and start attacking Yarnc's 3rd Yarnc ignores and goes for Hiya's main with the mutas
WRAITHS ALMOST INTERCEPT OVERLORDS sooo close to a massacre
LoL hiya finds and raids 6oclock and scan burrowed lurkers
LOL first person view shows hiya sending all his wraith to the 3rd he's about to find out about. All the drones die, but Yarnc counters with muta.
mutas eat up all the mnm at hiya's base but hiya finds lots of yarnc's OLs - but mutas return in time I think hiya still should have fought that out, with so many wraiths and no other advantage
+1 car for Yarnc on mutas
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Oh man, overlord pack flying... Not for drops, but for detection, yes? Huge muta/overlord/scourge army going for the wraiths... HiyA dodges.
is it feasible to get some valks to help dominate mutas? and what is up with these players insisting on 1 base play vs zerg ><
mutas put an end to the 2 turrets being built at 11 - hiya moving out with a pretty small group of mnm
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
HiyA trying to snipe overlords... And not doing well. Cloaks, runs away. I agree with Chen, get valks and expand please.
yarnc adding another 2 sunkens to the one at his nat hiya only on 3 rax, still one base
Hiya burning away energy on his wraiths cloaking vs nothing, Hiya STILL on 1 base, just started his 2nd, SCI FACILITY SNIPED
wraiths and mutas fight but hiya moves in with mnm!
wraith vs muta/overlord at 11 - the scv there building a cc dies and it's cancelled mnm attack yarnc's nat! no defense but muta/sunken!
HIYA BUSTS THE FRONT WITH M&M, mass mutas rapes his ass gg incoming

Holy fuck thats a lot of mutalisks.
yarnc has too many mutas, hiya can't get an expo up. looks to be gg
but >12 mutas are too much for the mnm! - the attack is cleared and hiya has just a few wraiths left
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
SUNKEN BREAK! Nat breached! Mutas arrive... that's a lot of them. They save the nat! Lol the pack returns to kill last medic.
Too late to get Valks, I guess.
should just go greater spire lol
first vessel out - yarc still reinforcing mutas

Heyy science vessel on CC. Reminds me of Terran computers :O
yarnc preparing to add his 4th at 3 hiya building a cc in base to expand to his nat as his main minerals are running down
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Also whoa is that +2 I see? Yarnc with scourge all around the map for vision. HiyA still hasn't expanded...
Hiya FINALLY expands, probably waaay to late now that Yellow has 2-3 control of muta. sci vessel out, doesnt have irradiate yet due to the facility snipe earlier
a substantial group of mnm move south a bit but yarnc has 3 lurkers ready in his main first muta irradiated, it's split after a short while yarnc has TONS of mutas flying around

pure wraith taking down sunkens and lurkers - an irradiate deals tons of damage to mutas! lurkers burrow on the path between their bases to stop reinforcements but yarnc's nat is broken, only lurker eggs are stopping mnm from moving up to yarnc's main!
Always a good idea to put your entire tech tree in your natural ooops

Lurker eggs blocking nat... One dies, two left. Natural down for Yarnc, but main is safe temporarily. Natural gas almost (FINALLY) finished for HiyA.
well mutas suck once vessels are out...you need to transition even if you're economically ahead mnm and one vessel chilling at yarnc's former nat yarnc rebuilding den/spire
Yay, more free scourge. Seems to be the theme of this game.
yarnc adding sunkens to his main a few rines lost to lurkers midmap hiya moving towards yarnc's 3
Ramp is so imba. It would have been GG there, but Yarnc had a single ramp and was able to hold off HiYa's entire army. WTF?
but hiya moving his mnm back downwards - you need to kill one of yarnc's expos and just as I say that dropships drop mnm to 3 and kill the entire base
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
How many scourge is Yarnc going to give away? 3 o'clock just got finished by Mnm... So yeah, Yarnc. Pure muta doesn't work against vessel.
yarnc tries to move to his nat with a tiny amount of lurker/hydra easily killed by mnm/vessel 2 lurkers irradiated another drop headed towards 6 - but that's defended by a sunken and lurker
mnm dropped at 6 - 2 vessels escort them as they attack the extractor
wtf, Hiya was absolutely dead a few minutes ago and now,.... lurker drop coming from Yellow
lurker at 6 irradiated, but enough sunekns to stop hiya for now 2 lurkers loaded into overlords - hiya expanding to 11 again
Yarnc, you just redefined the word "suck".

Rofl, lurker drop denied. Game is over for Yarnc.
overlords heading to drop are irradiated and they drop before reaching 11, the lurkers there are killed 4 lurkers are dropped west of 11 - and now one ol is elevatoring the lurkers in! the scv building the cc is killed!
This is a really scrappy game.

Got to say, Hiya played pretty well, but to be fair, Yarnc played like shit too.
VERY nicely deflected drop, but yellow sneaks an overlord away and blocks Hiya's third. lurkers at Yellow's ramp are gone

Bottom left dropped. But lurkers in main~ Taking out depots. HiyA trying to bust front... Only one lurker, lots of lings dead...

This map is bad for both ZvP and ZvT as far as I can tell. When you have a fully funded fully teched army, T and P have way stronger armies than Z, and they also do better on maps with island expos (which this on basically has). Triathalon basically gives Protoss 3 free gas and terran 4 free gas if he goes for any significant number of tanks. It's kind of like Katrina.
Hiya blowing on his hands. Why are these events so often cold? great hyping himself up.
Hiya the mouthbreathing blue? terran at 11. great the white? zerg at 5.

Not really. Most of those guys are better now than they were back then. Yarnc honestly just plays worse mid and lategame ZvT than he did in the past 2 years.
Interesting - gastrick for great - what's he planning?
Looks like 10 hatch zergling allin. Edit: nvm he isn't doing it. Thought he was gonna take the gas.
first rax goes up near the ramp after depot great dronescouted rather early? hatchery first for great
pool starts for great, he's finally scouted by hiya first rine chases the drone away, hiya starts his expo
great has his 3rd hatchery under way, and starts his main gas
2nd rax going up for hiya - first two lings chase the scouting scv hiya adding his own main gas

oh odd-eye haha. thought it was fighting spirit for a moment :p
great with a clever trap by splitting his lings kills the scouting scv and starts his nat gas, lair hiya adds his academy
SCV in great's main diez. Great whoring drones like he always does. I think he hates zerglings.
2 lings probe hiya's nat, one dies to the 11 rines there hiya adding a 3rd rax??
First standard game of the set.
spire and den for great first 2 medics are out and the mnm move forwards a bit
finally an ebay, in tiem for mutas but no early upgrades for hiya. 3 creep colonies going down as hiya moves out
Whoa early hydra den. 3 hatch lurker incoming. Hiya looking for a 3rd. Speedlings running all over the place.
lings attack the mnm group from behind, but deal little damage 2 firebats among the marines at hiya's nat choke

Which means T is going to rape~ Rines moving out toward great. But they back off.
Dang he's making even moar dronesssss.
evo chamber for great, 6 lurkers morphing in main
big batch of lurkers for great
a few lings trade for a rine or two midmap - lurkers are done and move to the nat hiya still chilling with about one group of mnm at great's choke they stim and kill one lurker as they burrow, taking no damage
Oooo stims a lurker to death mid burrow
lurkerling tangle with mnm, but mnm stay out of lurker range hiya tries the same trick but loses a bunch of rines to lurker spines but naother lurker picked off
Really good control thus far by Hiya
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Shiet that's a lot of lurkers... Lol drone and lurker escort. Starport almost done for HiyA.
Containing marines being annoying as fuck. This is why no one ever opens lurker.
hiya with factory and shop, adds a starport and his 5th rax great starting his hive, looking to expand to 8

lol same great going for the sac lurkers build
Great taking third, scouted
hiya scans great's nat, lurkerling moves out but deal no damage to the mnm hiya scouts the new hatch morphing at 8
im slow but yay Kal died :D
hive done, defiler mount starting, as well as a nydus in the nat hiya scouts the two lurkers on the megaramp towards 8

Not yet, he's still got two shots. And Yarnc is sucking -__-
lurkerling moves to attack a few mnm midmap, not a big battle but more lings join the lurkers and they move forward to finish the tiny mnm group first mnm with tank group moves out another evo chamber for great, he has 1 ground carapace

Lurker eats tank shells! Vessel eats scourge! MMMMMMMMMm.
3 tanks with mnm/1 vessel move south on the left side, kill some lurkers as the vessel is scourged
First vessel gets scourged lol. Sucks for him.
a few scourge and 2 lurkers guard 11.5 in case hiya ever wants to expo there sci facility lifted, 2nd starport being added is consume done? some blood beside a defiler
more and more fangirls not looking away when the camera focuses on them tank/mnm move to the ridge north of 8 - swarms push them back, the vessel is barely saved from scourge
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Mmm I see consume. Ooh HiyA narrowly saves another vessel from getting scourged.
more warm with lurkers pushing hiya's attack force back drone moving towards northeast - preparing to expo?
Great taking another double gas. Things are looking good for him so far. Hiya isn't really getting anything done.
hiya's making no progress in stopping zerg expos. and he's not expoing himself but tank/mnm are outside great's nat, with 2 vessels swarms appear north of the sunken line! one vessel scourged
Great is playing... well? Wow
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
great is playing very well, not much harass from HiyA and swarm is pushing into his nat.
a few lurkers kill quite a bit of mnm near 11.5 swarms move forwards, getting close to hiya's nat 2 dropships move towards great's main!
2 dropships coming but Great is ready and swarm going up in front of Hiya's nat.
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Drop succeeds! But both dropships scourged.
one dropships crouged after unloading, the mnm clean up the defending lings but a swarm goes down! only 4 rines 4 medics remain from the drop

Hiya moves out with 2 Dropships, but great is swarm pushing on Hiya's front... Dual dropships into great's main.. AHHH SCOURGE! Both dropships go down! That was not what needed to happen. Great easily cleans up the rines in his main.
hiya getting bossed by great
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Remnants of drop cleaned out without any tech damage to great. HiyA has like no forces...
they try to hide behind the mineral line but swarm/lings and one lurker puts an end to that another mnm/tank attack near great's nat lots of zerg blood, but tank and some mnm are destroyed cc being build in-main intended for 11.5
YEaaaa Great! Show dem haters!! KHAN for life!!

Lone vessel eats scourge again >.> great's doing great keeping the vessel cloud down...
Great still not out of the woods. He really needs more expos
Hiya sends his entire army on a quest to kill a stray drone.

Hiya not really showing the best of control.... great looking to take top right I believe, but Hiya's moving to stop that. great also taking 3. Hiya moves down to take out that building hatch. Great cancels. Top right going up, Hiya hasn't scouted it.
an isolated vessel killed midmap the game is slipping away from hiya! but interestingly enough, neither player has taken 2 yet great expanding to 3.5, it's scanned by hiya and attacked ultratech for great
hiya's vessels are getting raped

great expanding to top right... LOL more vessels get scourged! HiyA outside great's nat, but pushed back by swarm without a fight.
great taking 2 more vessels scourged - hiya's doing a bad job of keeping them alive no tanks being built now? first ultras are out, 1-4 ups

Woah scourge pass right by those dual dropships. Lucky~ PLAGUUU!! HIYA FAILS TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! TONS of rines get killed!
hiya now on 8 rax - 2 dropships heading south bunch of mnm outside great's nat get plagued and hiya loses another vessel, this time rather near his infantry
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Ooh that was a good plague... Two more dropships for HiiyA! Mmm cows... Lagguuuu.
Hiya's lost his nerves. Where did that good control go?
Hiya's TvZ... Only good enough to beat Yarnc.
an attack on 2 gets the hatchery to red, but swarm saves it a drop brings more mnm to the place, but ultraswarmlings are there to clear it out safely
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
LOL One ultra + swarm Cleans up the two dropships' worth of marines. 13 kills on that one ultra...
4 ultras tangle with some mnm above midmap hiya's chances aren't good at this point

Dual dropships head to top right to take out the hatch there which is down to like 10 health. WTF Hiya decides to sacrifice the MnM force at top right instead of loading them into Dropships... great coming in with quite a few Ultras. great laying ont he pressure... Scourge get one of Hiya's vessels.. AHHH another one goes down! Hiya just constantly losing units. great going to get 7 gas son.
hiya loses another 2 vessels 4 tanks are at hiya's 11 and barely finish off the attacking ultras great taking 2 and 3.5 yet again a plague on some mnm near 9 make them die quickly to lurkers
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
More vessel death! I see tanks now... but man Cows are strong. great expanding to 3.
hiya looking like he has more medics than marines at this point
That force has more medics than marines
swarm lurkerling kill a bunch more mnm great getting close to hiya's nat - but hiya kills the morphing 3.5
Looks like Hiya gonna die. Swarms all over the nat.
lurker/ultra bearing down on hiya's nat mnm attacking 2 and probably will kill it as the 2 ultras that were there leave hiya miraculously holding his nat
dropships scourged but another defiler arrives at hiya's nat, more swarms creep closer to his base 1 ultra and a few lings pick at the scvs at 11
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
3:00 taken down by mainres. HiyA's nat is charged! Ultra/lurker Top right under attack! Top right goes down! And yet more shit gets scourged. Lone ultra attacking 11:30 killing SCVs. 10 kills wtf.
rofl great was the last person i expected to advance from this group, by far.

the cc at 11 killed, ultralurkerling rampage in his base, and he ggs

C'MON KAL! Rape this noob Yarnc :O
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Loser's match: Yarnc bottom right. Kal top left.
Remember that one season last year where they actually split up Ro32 sets into 2 days each? That was so bad.
Lets see if Kal learned his lesson from last game. This is Yarnc after all.
kal ready with a probe to deny the nat expo, but the drone just moves past it
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Pool first for Yarnc. Probe is going to block the hatch! Drone, undeterred, moves to expo elsewhere at 3:00.
probe tangling with a drone in yarnc's main, yarnc expands to 3.5 nex after forge
Yarnc sees pesky probe at nat. Isn't even gonna try to morph there yet, runs to 4oclock to set up hatch
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Nexus before cannons for Kal. First cannon started... One ling chasing probe inside Yarnc's main. Yarnc moving to take nat now? Probe fails to block.
2 lings pursue the probe, but it somehow slips back up the ramp yarnc expands to his nat as well, and finishes his main gas kal adds a gate to form a wall, his main gas finishes as well
core starts for kal in his nat lair for yarnc no real confrontations yet kal still only with one cannon at his nat
GO YARNC! well I like kal to... so for me its a win/win, I just hope that Hiya fails!
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Gas just finishes for Kal in main. Core started at nat. Wow that scouting probe is still alive, and is heading for home, still chased by a ling. Nope it turns around. Lair started for Yarnc, and stargate started for Kal.
kal takes his nat gas and starts a stargate kal scouts the 3rd
kal just needs to play standard and he will win.
Hmm, game looks really normal so far. Nothing special going on.
lair finishes, exclusive spire tech first goon out and killing the OL heading towards the main, which sees the building citadel and the stargate

Fixed
first sair out and flying south 2nd gate added in the nat another two hatcheries for yarnc, one at 3.5, one at 5.5 and den starts
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Goon kills scouring overlord... Another hatchery at 3? Den started for Yarnc, and citadel is done for Kal. First sair is scouting, while two scourge scout Kal's main.
one evo chamber upgrading for yarnc kal adding 2 gates in his main, to 4, his core is spinning adds one cannon to his main mineral line yarnc with one sunken at 3.5 2 zealots drop by
Kal with perfect timing on speedlots, but pulls back
Looks like Luxury's idle-larva ZvP build, to me
6 zealots and one goon probe the nat - one sunken with wall and a hydra drive it away but 4 zealots come back and kill the 3 drones on gas
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Kal runs into Yarnc's nat with a few zealots and a goon, kills gas drones, and backs off.
templar archives done, 2 scourge flyby and see it 4 zealots probe yarnc's nat again, killing 4 drones while losing 2 zealots
Oh god, those 4 zealots killed like 6/7 dronesOn April 04 2010 14:45 Zona wrote: templar archives done, 2 scourge flyby and see it 4 zealots probe yarnc's nat again, killing 4 drones while losing 2 zealots

lol zealots kill more drones at the nat but payback - mutas (9?) kill the cannon in kal's main and pick off a few probes 2 storms go off, but they're easily dodged now the mutas are killing probes at the nat
yet another zealot attack on drones at the nat the drones run, and 2 zealots even get into the main before dying
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Damn, a lot of drones just needlessly died there. Mutas moving out toward Kal. Only one cannon in main! Probes dying~ 4 goons try to hold off the mutas... To the nat! What the hell no cannons there. SO MANY PROBE DEATHS. Zealots still in nat! More drones dead! Two get into the main! Dispatched. Mutas fly back home...
Both players losing a lot of workers
Great muta micro, but Yarnc natural gets raided again...
They both just lost a truckload of workers.
mutas did some dmg i would say this is pretty even again, maybe p is ahead right now armywise
Kal extremely goon-heavy composition
LoL 5-billion goons! And Yarnc has no army

Kal moving out. Pure goons with a few templar... no zealots at all. But then again, Yarnc doesn't have too many lings.
2 scourge chill with some goon/templar before the goons finally target them kal moving out with many goons and about 5 templar and 2 sairs
2 sunkens being added to the one at the nat - but the goons are attacking 3.5!
a templar or two picked off, but yarnc has little defense as his hydra are stormed lots of blood at the base - goons now taking down the hatcheries
yarnc concedes. suckitude indeed.

oh yea....hiya tvp incoming! lets go!

Easy task to beat Hiya TvP?.. wut. Hiya is a fucking monster playing TvP... Lets go kal!
Crap, I missed like the entire game D:
yeah, TvP is by far Hiya's best matchup.
GooJila Hwaiting! I believe!
Gate first for Kal in base, no shenanigans Rax in base, with gas soon after for hiya
go magikarp..time to EVOLVE.
hiya searching for manly proxy gates that unfortunately don't exist.
kal with relatively early scout - his probe isn't harassing the rax scv but instead meanders throughout the mineral line
Wow, Hiya sent a scout really early to check for a proxy. Why so scared. Runs an SCV all the way around his main too.
first zealot out, core starts for kal factory starting for hiya, one scv on gas 2nd marine training
Zealot is here vs like 1 marine o.O
zealot with probe head into hiy'as main 2nd gate being added 3 rines kill off the probe, but the zealot kills an scv before withdrawing machine shop first
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Lol. Marauding zealot sees three rines, contents itself to killing an scv, and walks away.
Kills an scv and runs away. Lost a probe though, so wasn't really that good.
hiya's scv makes it into kal's base and sees the core spin before dying hiya researching something in his shop, probalby mines as a vulture heads out first 6 rines!
Hiya expanding without a tank. Just vultures and mines for now.
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
HiyA building CC in main. Kal takes his natural expo. WTF that's a lot of rines...
kal expands to 2 hiay builds a cc in his main intended for 8
vulture drops its 3 mines on the lowground by 2 and tangles with 1 zealot/2 goons/probe at the ramp
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Goons ALMOST get lured into mines. But back awayyyyyyy.
robo first for kal his probe maynard a little late, the nexus already done first tank out for hiya, he adds his 2nd factory his cc finishes and starts floating towards 8
Dragoons almost walk into mines but Kal doesn't get lured all the way by the vulture.
observatory first for kal - both players angling for a longer game? kal takes his nat gas but hiya up to 2 tanks now, will he push now or later?

Hiya pushing out with 2 tanks, 6ish rines, and a vult or two.
3 mines line hiya's nat choke kal drops 2 pylons to partially block his nat choke, starts a stargate! 2 base carriers?
Hiya gets fast second fact and pushes out. Is Kal ready o.O

Citadel about finished, obs already done. Stargate going for Kal off in the corner? Ooh...
2 base arbiter, best is proud
observer is out, goons clear out a few mines 6 rines 3 tanks 4 vultures push out against 10 goons at kal's nat
lots of forces traded, 2 vultures sneak into kal's base and lay 2 mines at the space between the main and nat one red tank lives

Kal sees the push, he's getting a Stargate... Kal moves in with his goons!!! One goon down! Two, three, BUT THE RINES ARE ALL GONE! Tanks are going to get sniped! One goes down, but Vults force the goons back! A vult in the main... Ahhhh Hiya on the front with a tank and vults... Siege mode! 7 Probe kills!! Tank gets repulsed, but Hiya is reinforcing.
WTF sick micro from Hiya with rallied vultures and Kal is getting raped.
kal builds a gateway to block his choke - but the tank sieges up and hits probes at the mineral line - an scv repairs the tank goons behind the wall attack the tank but it unsieges and moves out of range

Two vults in main! One dies, other one lays two mines. Probes kill it. Ooh. That's a nasty position HiyA has outside Kal's base...

What the fuck scout? Kal's paying for that. Vultures just ate a ton of probes in the nat. Scout attacking tank. lolol scout.
I make top ramen, and... WHAT THE FUCK A SCOUT???
KAL GO HARASS WITH THE SCOUT, HE HAS NO AA LOL aww turret coming up
LOL too bad scout does zero damage. It's trying to kill the tank but dragoons have to come and do the job.

What the fuck this makes me want food. Augh. Scout tries to harass. Runs into a turret
Free hits with scout. woohoo~
Poor scout. It still has 0 kills.
hiya adding turrets in his base he's got 5 tanks massed at his nat vultures mine up 3 just to have them cleared immediately a scout takes a lot of turret hits at hiya's nat, the observer there dies hiya moving out with 4 tanks and misc vultures, the scout following with potshots
lol, scv's counter scouts
goon/observer move out and clear some mines but kal drags one mine into his goons in his base hiya sieging up the lowground outside kal's base - a shuttle drops zealots by the tanks, 2 tanks down!
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Lol darn I want to see a ROYAL STOVE. Except for meh. GO SCOUT HIT TANK YEAH ZEALOT BOMB!
Rine kills the shuttle with last breath!
is hiya going to bother building any goliaths? first arbiter out!
Kal needs this arbiter to save him
Nice zealot bombs from Kal, but this isn't looking good for him. Tanks are strong lol.
FUCK YEAH! Scout fucked up that SCV.
hiya moving really close to the low ground abuse spot by kal's nat - with the rax he has vision on the mineral line!
lots of probes die before they pull back - kal moving goons with arbiter westward to counter - they run into vultures, so hiya is aware!
Counter incoming. Or just setting up a flank.
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Arbiter alive, but tanks are shelling probes at the nat again. SCOUT ATTACKS RAX YEAH Arb+goons are in the mid. Mine kills a couple vults oops?

hiya expanding to 9 kal still on 5 gates? tanks now fully control the abuse spot and are attacking kal's nat nexus
lol scout cant do anything, has 1 marine kill but apart from that marines are hard-countering it

mostly goons attack hiya's tanks a little east of 9 and kill them 2 rines are attacking the scout the rines die to a goon/arbiter/etc vultures potshot at the empty nexus at 3
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Valiant scout still attacking tank... And SCVs still repairing tank... Scout. Kal takes out a few tanks near Hiya's base with his hidden stuff. NATURAL NEX DOWN. SCOUT NOOOO BURNING RED! 2 kills! Kal's third is spotted by vults. Still, not good for him, not good at all.
hiya with a great scan prevents kal's goon/arbiter attack from affecting his tanks below the nat the nat nexus is gone 4 vultures dealing a LOT of damage to the nexus at 3
Wow Kal is getting shat on pretty bad.
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Kal distance mining gas from nat... Two mines kill goon at third! 3rd nexus getting wtfpwned by vults... slowly.
finally a few goons and an arbiter arrive to clear the vultures out but hiya has a bunch of forces massed at his nat one dt out - dies to mines the nexus at 3 killed as well kal really in a tight spot

Kal needs to pull those probes... Not doing so, he takes down a tank sniping Probes at his nat. Kal in pretty big trouble here considering his natural is screwed... Kal seems to be hooking around for a counter attack? Yeah seems like it. What forces does Hiya have at his nat?? Seems like enough to stop Kal's attack... Natural goes down for Kal. Ahhh goons dying for Kal... Scout still valiantly trying to take down tanks, buuuut you know.. Not doing too much. Kal in pretty big trouble here.... +1 attack done for Hiya. DT dies to mines. Nexus at Kal's third dies... DAMN NOOOO

All thanks to that scout...
kal building a nexus below the mineral line at 3 - but probes kill a lot of the idle probes chilling there nice statis freezes 3 tanks and a goliath outside of hiya's base but with only 6 goons attacking that's not enough
Lol nexus in the back. Still, it's time to gg, Kal ><

"Cloaking scout! Cloaking scout!" 7 kills!

arbiters and scouts - the worst to-ground damage units ever. CLOAKED SCOUT!!
scout now has 7 kills, but it was probably money that could have been spent elsewhere at the time hiya pusing with a few tanks and goliaths now the vultures move to reinforce
It's almost like Kal should've made more scouts? Since that scout is the only thing doing any damage lol
FREEAGLELAND 26781 Posts
Fuck yeah arb hits tank! Ahh gols get an arb! goons exposed! They back off. Shuttle dies though. Stasis on 2 tanks and a gol. Lag -__-
hiya's small push reaches 3 again...kal's got to be really poor by now
noooooooo hero scout dies
so let me pose a question, is this the first time in the history of professional brood war that a scout was worth its cost?
kal's main is mined out - but kal stops the small push with 2 stasis hiya not moving the bulk of his forces out but 3 tanks, some goliaths and vultures save the frozen units as they thaw and all the goons die

Lol true. Meanwhile, Kal loses more arbs. And more goons. HiyA's about to roll the third...
it's pretty much over as hiya sieges up the nexus below 3

Nope Kal vs fOrGG on Colosseum, Arena MSL (i think it's Arena MSL anyway)
kal gg's 2nd time he's lost using scouts in series deciding games vs an oz terran
what just happened god damnit.
you have to remember that scout meant 2 less goons the only reason it got so many kills over all that time was because it wasn't that much of a threat as hiya rolled kal's ground army if kal built more scouts, hiya would have responded appropriately with some antiair

Gyarados used hyper beam!
Looks like Kal didn't scout properly and failed against a standard T timing push.
hiya looking satisfied - I did enjoy his games today, despite the massive failure vs great
Stork and Best better win. A tvz league aint fun.

lol right, wrong group
So Kal can't even advance out of a group with two mediocre zergs?
Rofl this is a sad sad day for SC taking into account the other results as well. :/
Noooooo Kaaaaaallll!!! I hate liquibet this season.
Kal out... Damn it Kal. You're supposed to be good against Zerg
lol huge failure LB streak
why is it all the MSL groups have terrible results and all the great players are out... i'm sure someone wants to sponser it now
You know Protoss is fucked when their #1 can't make it to Ro16.
WTF is this? Why are Protoss players dropping out of the sky like flies? Kal is supposed to be leading the Protoss race right now! What is this?
