How to watch:
Take your pick!
up already? thats fast o.o anyway hoping for woongjin to sweep the table with 3-0..
ah i wish this was on at 13:00 KST instead :\
Hope to god we see some Zer0 vs Kal, Calm v Free or even Zero v Shuttle.
Hoping to see some free action tehehe
My predictions would have been pretty biased, so I left them out!
I predict a Soulkey all-kill. Wait...can that not happen this time?
definitely has the potential to be a great series, STX FIGHTING!
Would LOVE to see Zero vs Kal and Free vs anyone.

Fighting Spirit, Kal bottom right, Guemchi bottom right. About identical builds, both go 1 gate into robo. Small goon meetup at Kal's base. 2nd gate started for both.

Ugh, don't make us switch streams Guemchi pressuring with 3 goons; Kal going robo before observatory. Same for Guemchi so far. Shuttle out for both players, Guemchi still taking hit-and-run shots with his goons.
guemchi loses his reaver...lol
Hungary 11291 Posts
Observatory for both. It's as if they were playing mirror-mirror. With the first Reaver shuttle, Kal moves out. Guemchi spreading his goons outside his bridge. Kal sees the shuttle, SNIPES THE REAVER!!!
Thought everyone would be interested in that, and its 1st game so not really a big spoiler ^^
how the hell you lose ur reaver...sigh
lolz guemchi that was noob shuttle micro

Armies engage -- Guemchi's reaver gets taken out immediately as soon as it drops from the shuttle and Guemchi is pushed back. Kal doesn't press any further.
Hungary 11291 Posts
Kal pushing over the bridge, but retreats for now. First obs out for Guemchi, both looking to expand now. Guemchi places his nexus slightly earlier. Kal gets the 2nd reaver out and scouts the expansion. Looks like he's going to push now.

Kal going the bottom route through the expansion,reavers crawling forward, but Kal loses his obs. stalemate for the moment, despite Kal having more Reavers. He pulls back, Guemchi has the 2nd Reaver out and they are about even now. Guemchi even was faster to populate his expansion. Kal faster to add 2 more gates, but both still even there.
Hungary 11291 Posts
Now guemchi is approaching with dual reaver. Shoote scarabs at Kal's reavers, but THE RED SHUTTLE picks the reavers up in time. Guemchi settling for a contain at the moment.
omg guemchi so close to losing htat shhuttle ==
Hungary 11291 Posts
Citadel started for Guemchi, Kal ALMOST snipes the shuttle when Guemchi is busy elsewhere. He has better observer coverage for sure. Guemchi retreats to his base and adds a templar's.

Kal loses both reavers and the shuttle!

Kal now on the bridge to Guemchi. shoots down a pylon with his reavers. Guemchi placed his stuff in a deep arch, but pushes in now! He killed the shuttle with one reaver still inside! 2nd reaver dies too! Kal now only with a huge arc of goons. Shuttle going for Kal's base, maybe even with temps?
2dt's droppedin kal's main main and nat minerla lines being raped.

wtf 2 dts raping so many probes
omg guemchi with super dt drop this is so over damn it !

kal returns the favor with a dt at guemchi's nat...
Dirty 2 DT drops @ Kal's main and natural. Taking some probes down before getting killed by goons.

nice plays from both players, but looks like kal's dt gets him over the edge.
storm saves kal from guemchi's reaver advantage at his nat as guemchi attacked
omg crazy game kal barely holds while killing 20+ probes with a dt
Hungary 11291 Posts
2 DT unloaded in Kal's main base where Temps are just building. DT ravaging the natural and the main, doesn't look like detection. This might lose Kal the game right here. He pulls probes, but must have lost 15+ by now. Kal sneaks in a counter DT to Guemchi's natural. Just when heis own bridge is under attack. GUemchi is pushing in strong while he loses all his probes at the natural. Huge battle on Kal's bridge, first storm does HUGE damage, 17?? kills on the DT and Kal dended off the attack.
Sick game. Really nice pvp. Recommended
kal now counterattacking guemchi's main this battle both players lack reavers and templar
kal has no observer with his attack - dt drives his forces off, his goons see guemchi's 5.5 as they retreat.
And G leads Kal to third. Wonderful!
guemchi now up a base - but down a lot of probes dt and observer just checking for hidden expos
After the battles, both players are with hurt economy, but seems like guemchi is slightly ahead with probe count and a nexus @ 6.
Guemchi scouting the map very carefully to make sure that Kal doesn't have a 3rd--and he doesn't.
3rd secured, Kal is losing this
kal needs to do something guemhchi chilling on 3 bases
kal with a nice storm drop at gumechi's nat and he repeats it!
Kal with some nice storm drops at Guemchi's nat!

Kal with storm drop at nat, gets a few probes.
Kal cleaning the probes from Guemchi's natural with a HT Shuttle!
kal's 8.5 up and running there's like no probes at guemchi's nat. intense battle outside the bridge to guemchi's nat kal comes up on top!
Kal pushing toward Guemchi's nat with a major ground army. Unloading 2 reavers in great position, storming everything. Kal comes out ahead!

kal's army combi is sooo good
Kal now busting into Guemchi's nat with a large force.
Kal wins huge battle and pushes into G's nat despite G's flank. G went overheavy on archons, and storm just raped.
kal's storms are so devastating guemchi concedes. smugtoss is victorious.

GG KAAAL That payback DT during Guemchi's push was pretty clutch. And he had superior micro in most battles, aside from losing those reavers on Guemchi's bridge.
Hungary 11291 Posts
And with a final push, Kal disposes of Guemchi.
GG is typed. Difference? Kal left templars for storm, G morphed everything.
GG and Kal's smile as a reward.

I think he often plays like that -- he regularly finds himself in tight situations and then comes back with great micro and wild drops. His games vs ggaemo and MVP in WL, against hyvaa in the OSL. DILETTANT TOSS I hope he can try harder vs Effort's still beastly vP and then against Flash in the finals.

Kal's micro in large scale battles is just such a treat to watch. Always leaves you going "o_O" as his forces just magically win overwhelming with only a small numerical advantage. STX fighting~

I love 2 stargate sair let's not screw it up!
Corsairs have now reached large enough numbers that they demolish scourge, so Shuttle moves out with them. Robotics bay coming in now.
small p force into sk's base
Heh, couple zealots and a goon get into the main, zealots holding position on the ramp to buy extra time!!
France 2061 Posts
Haha he's morphed spores instead of sunkens so he can't prevent the smallest of pushes!
both on main team means you're guaranteed to get points - not bad. better than not having your players play at all or play and lose wow even that fleet of a dozen scourge can't touch the sair mass
Soulkey putting down a LOT of static D.
Shuttle uses the early shuttle for the reaver and his air dominance to take his 3rd on the island at 3. Corsairs absolutely demolishing huge numbers of scourge without any fear or repercussions at all.
soulkey pumping so many drones, so little in units...
the sair mass not paying off as much as it should... he should accept the spore hits and kill more ol's but reavers racking up lots of kills
shuttle moving out with a zeal/goon/temp/reaver force
pimp reavers shooting backwards
stargates idle - sairs also idle shuttle just controlling his ground army now huge scarab does as much damage as a storm!
Soulkey snipes a reaver and a shuttle in a large battle, but loses a ton of hydras while doing so.
shuttle loses a reaver, has a big goon force though
konadora
Singapore 66163 Posts
shuttle puming loads of goons but he lets his observer get ahead of his army and loses it stupid sairs just set on patrol outside of 3 swarm's going to nullify all those goons need more storm and reavers...last reaver out there lost
shuttle letting tech units get sniped :C
templar sniped by lings shuttle retreating finally some more storms
finally sairs back in action - ol's raped - dt's in the front lines doing a lot of damage one OL sacrificed at the front lines to kill the dts...
France 2061 Posts
Those sairs really aren't paying off. Soulkey is just streaming hordes of units and Shuttle is barely holding for now.
where's the fleet beacon and d-web? those sairs must be filled to the brim with energy now... zealots stop the drones at soulkey's newest base
Hungary 11291 Posts
This looked like a high money map for a moment, with players throwing their forces into the middle constantly.
Shuttle has been a huge asset for my FPL, hoping he wins.
sairs make sure there's no OLs at 11 dt headed that way!
15 kill dt - now finishing off the hatch ol and lings come back though... but sairs come and kill the ol after the dt dies
zerglings killing HT, he really needs to keep them alive they are so much more useful that way
cracklings overcome the cannons at 5 - nexus sniped!
Lings counter in Shuttle's 4th, take out all the cannons and just BARELY get the Nexus!!
sairs see soulkey morph a hatch at 1.5 soulkey so rich despite losing so much stuff, including his poor OLs
Cracklings take down buildings faster than immortals:-p
Shuttle going for a break in the front, but there's some amazing sim city there and he has a zealot heavy army.
France 2061 Posts
Epic egg block! Soulkey has too much shit to throw at Shuttle, who let him power like mad early game. Toss needs to expand.
dt putting an end to the hatch at 1.5 though shuttle tries to attack soulkey's front door - denied by 'simcity lings sniped the warping nexus at 5 again... sairs kill OLs heading towards 1.5 though, drone and hatch killed
Shuttle has to back off, but a DT is killing 1:00 hatchery!! Lings run in again to Shuttle's 4th and take out the Nexus as it warps in.
The cheapest unit in the game takes out buildings that fast... =/
PLAGUE on all the corsairs!!!
soulkey lets his scourge chill over shuttle's archons 2 plagues landed on most of shuttle's attacking army at his front door reavers breaking down the walls
plague all over shuttles shit
Reavers now laying siege to the nat. Two defilers come and plague EVERYTHING!!

plague on entire army but no units to finish off the army lol
Shuttle tries to push in, but plagued zealots just melt to the few sunkens there.
Those plagues saved the day!
damn it camp so stron on this map
cracklings snipe the reaver...shuttle's army once again has to pull back shuttle's sair count greatly reduced 2 lurkers burrow right under the eyes of an observer - they die immediately lings surround a lone archon and kill it first ultras out

3-2-0 ups on shuttle's ground army does soulkey have any melee ups at all? greater spire - hmm
Soulkey prunes the archon count by two with a control group of zerglings. Shuttle still has a really archon heavy army composition, though.

barely saves the nexus lol
ultraling comes to try to snipe the nexus, but it survives at LOW red HP!!!
2 ultras in shuttle's main shuttle's army defending his 4th at 5 from another round of lings trying to sinpe scourge really cut down on shuttle's remaining sairs
Soulkey suicides two ultralisks into Shuttle's main just to see his tech or something?
lol a few more lings get past the defenses to snipe the nexus at 5 again.

wow, nice pvz. but i still dont get why shuttle wasnt expanding while he had soulkey contained..
Grand Line is producing some epic PvZs
GG, Shuttle looks shocked..
shuttle really needs to protect his tech units and his nexii
cracklings were so effective.
Very poor army positioning from shuttle, ridiculous how easily his only mining nexus got taken out again and again.
France 2061 Posts
Meh, Shuttle just had a bunch of sairs doing almost nothing for the whole game while Soulkey was powering drones like mad and could then pump out hordes of units. When Shuttle weathered the first few waves he didn't even expand to top right, and he ended up being cornered at bottom right without being able to move out for fear of losing the mineraly only.

Oh c'mon, that game was horrible - nothing resembling any coherent strategy. Someone who really abused the map correctly wouldn't have let the game play out like that. Both players played horribly. No need to get all stx fanboy about it.
I think Calm will be ace for STX
super tall shadow - it's kal of course! against free?

8BB -> Vulture -> Starport forces Z to go Hydralisk, coupled with the no gas at nat means Piano got away with just making a few turrets and powered economy like crazy.

ZerO ?
because his zvz is abysmal?! stx has two logical ace options: calm and kal. zero would be great against kal, but almost an instaloss against the zvz specialist calm.
Wow, Stars takes it to ace without Kwanro, ZerO or free in the regular sets o_O

free is in good form, he's currently the highest ELo ranked protoss actually And in the last two months, he beat Bisu, Stork, Pure and Jaehoon in PvP. that said, Kal will still win:-p Kim Ku Hyun fighting!
When is this damned FPL ending lol, this round i mean

STX is too predictable with their choices TBH. I can't help but think STX would benefit greatly from a more risky coach instead of one who sends the most predictable choices every game :<

Be thankful that STX is actually sending out players they hope will win. Unlike MBC or others teams who have been sending out crazy choices...

Nothing wrong with sending out Kal/Calm/Shuttle in predictable spots since they're solid in all matchups anyways. Sending out Modesty when it's blatantly obvious you well, and the fact that he's weak in two matchups, is pretty sketchy decision making. This is the second time Modesty was counter sniped.
gateway/gas for both players free scouts around his main a bit just in case...
free manner pylons kal - 2 probes trapped

Haha probe is glitching out then decides he'd rather stay inside the pylon trap.
zealots chase the scouting probes around happy kid with sign makes peace sign as the camera focuses on him dad joins the fun goon range for free citadel for kal
DT rush for Kal it seems.

kal takes his nat...gah this will be painful to watch
first dt heading out for kal - he starts a forge free has nothing resembling detection at all...
DTs are one of those funny units that can auto win games. This is one instance of this happening.
cant wait for free's face
free walls his main choke with a gateway and forge...hmm!
dont give up guys, it can still turn into an elimination race :-p

DAMN IT KALL MAKE ANOTHER DT
free attacking kal's nat with 5 goons - probes pulled dt swiping at the warping forge! forge finishes! free also getting a robo where's the cannon for free? ah there it is by the gateways lol free might defend! kal also defends with a dt...
soooo many probes lost for Kal.
Those who don't believe this should read about Tibetan people.
5 kills on the dt (4 probes?) before cannon finishes at his main kal ahead with 2 bases free takes his nat
Free reacted preety good i thought this would be gg already..
but yeah kal lost a lot of probes in the attack - who knows who is ahead first observer out - dt being cleared from free's main

He could just expo again prehaps considering kal cannot move out
free adding another 2 gates (to 6) he also has his own archives and 2 dts sitting around kal still with a slight smile kal adding his 5th and 6th gates as well, after free's free morphs a da...
DA for free prolly will trye some feedback

FREE saw dt drop would be ineffective and makes a DA !
yeah I think it'd be best for free to expo - but he's not doing that dt checks out 6 - no base there kal adds his 7th gate.
free morphing a few archons - why? a shuttle for kal moving out - loads up 2 dt's free's obs sees kal's 3rd going up
2 dts dropped into free's main - cannon goes down!
kal drops storms ALL the probes at free's nat

free attacking with his forces out of his morphing 3rd he loses his archons before kal brings in most of his zealots...failure free's screwed
Kal is soooo good with his shuttles.
here comes another slow shuttle from kal into free's main - templar dropped at the main mineral line - fewer probes killed but still a good drop shuttle lost though

Guemchi was an appetizer, free was the main course: Goojilla had a feast today.

Hmmm 3-2. Pretty good STX. Now I can write more about you.
Whoa, I'm surprised zero didn't get to play against a strong team such as STX. Anyway, fuck yea! go STX!

50% chance of meeting Modesty and Calm = not good. However, I wonder why Kwanro didn't play.
ahh what a sexy result, soulkey and calm win AND STX takes it
Why use Crazy hydra and Piano, when you have ZerO and MVP ? coach go kill yourserlf please.
PianO pulling his weight on my fpl! Woot

Well Piano won, so I can't argue against using him. And I get the zvz argument regarding Zero. But why no Kwanro? It's not as if he has anything else to practice for besides proleague.
Props to Stars for the 'WTF' lineup and almost winning. Slops to Stars for losing when they could have used a better lineup and won. x.x
MVP has to prepare for the bo5 of his life.
oh woongjin why no zero? free and mvp I can understand due to their leagues, but zero... he needs some more play time
Kal pulling his weight. Good to see at least one protoss is consistent!
pretty good results to wake up to. Cant wait to watch VODs, just wish there werent so many mirrors.
oh man. no zero no kwanro asking for some fail
bisu is wearing a kal costume
Game 5 was excellent. Great display from both players.
Any VODs up yet? Game 5 sounds really badass.

Game 1: Kal's ability to use both reavers and HTs are always decisive, Storm is just more reliable than than scarabs at harassing expos and deal so much damage against Dragoons. Game 2: That's why Shuttle isn't our main protoss, he can do beastly macro but his battles are a mess. Game 3: Calm is playing? Bleh. Oh, he won? Well, Crazy-Hydra does have a ZvZ winning rate of 27%, so I guess even Calm can beat him. Look at Calm's team league standings in the last two months: this link is labeled fail . Game 4: Modesty? Even the crazy STX coaches weren't crazy enough to NOT to expect Kwanro or Zero... Winning or losing he needs more experience in televised games. Game 5: DT rush? Come on Kal, you can beat Free in a straight match nine times out of ten. Game won once again by HTs and DT drops. But his DT drop was kinda "meh", he should just snipe the nexus or the probes at gas. Overall: where is our terrans? Hwasin, Notice, Bogus? Last, Frozean, Sse[kal]? TOSSGIRL? If the coaches lack the confidence in all of them, might as well fire everyone and hire MVP, Baby or even Really. Really, really offtopic:+ Show Spoiler + Flash's winning percentage:
50%
Boxer
Canata
GGPlay
Horang2
Jangbi
<50%
Jaedong (46.43)
ForGG, Leta (42.86)
The Flash Destroyer (or maybe my sample pool of ONE is not big enough
)
Hero_V_ (0%!)

So, if one would believe old data with small sample pool, SKT1 should send Boxer in ACE against KT and STX would to bring Hero_V_ back for the STX playoffs!

Um Jaedong is 15-13 against Flash, I think you have your percentages reversed?
Finally got to watch this on GOM. At Game 5, I really just wanted to see Kal make a DA just to MC free's DA. Hell, did free's DA even do anything? Still a good match.

I think he means "flash's winning percentages vs. X" since there are probably a lot of players who have 0% vs. flash though uh why do forgg and jaedong appear twice in that list...?
