You're doing both? Big guy! ;P... Haha thanks for making them at such short notice!
Um, anyone know who that estro toss is?
Hey it's Grape.

Nice Manner Pylon by the Grape.
Well, since KizZBG has been spreading my pathetic first attempt at Photoshop, I've actually made some effort to make another one. Hopefully it's a bit better. + Show Spoiler [The First One] +
Grape just got a massive manner pylon on Free. Four probes trapped. But there was already a zealot so it didn't last for terribly long.
Grape is going for robo tech while Free is going for templar tech.
DTs are out but observer is out too so it doesnt seem that DTs will do much damage to Grape, also Free expoed first.
First Free DT only gets two probes, second one repelled.
Grape has the army advantage and seems is trying to add some pressure but free has 3 cannons and storms ready, Grape is forced to retreat.
Second DT finally dies after basically just wandering around.
Six gates for Grape now if they're all in the same place.

Grape gets a DT himself and both players adding a third.
Free storm gets two probes as well?

Was the second storm drop the same templar? It looked like it got five but the count was seven kills.
Storm madness. Grape has two reavers in the back. One dies to an archon. Two die to an archon.
Free kills maybe 6 probes with a templar drop, and another 6 or so!
Grape moves Free back but is unable to secure his 4th still while Free takes his 5TH!... Free still has a big army, and hes going for the final push!
Grape's army is out of position at the top left. Free sneaks in and gets some probes.

The Grape started good, then stopped participating in the game. Free win for Free.
Don't see how Grape managed to lose the BO advantage to such an extent. Should've had a shuttle protecting those reavers, but even so, Free had no reavers and STILL managed to pull through.
Grape somehow holds but Free has a huge economic lead! Free is just building up his forces now since he has a better economy. And he goes for another attack, they exange armies again.
Grape holding off another attack now.
lol, free[bm] with 2 ports and tribunal
Free making arbiters I <3 his justified bms

I love free... and it's funny cuz since he keeps trading armies Grape might not know how far behind he is.
Free is taking his 6th base and just sending more and more zealots into Grapes army, but Grape is building up a sizable force, but without a 4th he cant keep up in the unit count.
grape ggs as arbiter comes in
Grape GGs without taking any major losses. Still has some archons and stuff but probably senses that Free has the base advantage and won't be losing it.

classic drops zero's 3rd with 7 rines 1 medic! drones run away - a bunch killed + spore killed! hydras defend the hatch. all of classic's ports lifted.
lurkers are done - a few move out and take positions around the map
Only one port was lifted.
but the wraith numbers are reduced by hydra

classic eats more overlords... QUEEN FOR ZERO. 2port vessels + 4rax (5th buildings) + fact for classic, has a sizable force now. pushing out.
dmatrix on a tank lets it take a lot of damage, classic comes out on top of that fight and the lurkers run
so classic has his wraiths AFK the entire fight and still wins? lol
zero is farked...gaycombo
WOW DMATRIX FTW LMFAO.
Classic forgets to use his Wraiths, but two dmatrixed tanks wreck all of Zero's army
classic now moving out with mnm, a few tanks

classic pushes towards zero's 3rd... zero defends with lurkerling . nice flank. ouchhh sandwiched.
However Zero's lurker/ling/hydra reinforcements destroy the rest of the forces.
Paging all Starcraft racists to this thread so they can bitch about terran imba.
wow i take back my words..somehow zero manages to hold off

classic on 3 base + a gas-only island... zero taking 4th
Zero has the best macro of any zerg I've ever seen. The kid was born to play on lair tech
but hydra flank on the other side - and all the tanks are killed, 4 rines and 5 medics are able to retreat
The first queen was sniped I think. That was the second one.
wow nice zero, i almost gave up hope

EIGHT RINE DROP IN MAIN ... only gets 1 evo
Drop in the main takes down one evo chamber and almost a second. Probably not worth it.

vessel cloud shits on zero's nydused units, deny 4th... but retreat?
one vessel lost to hydra as it irradiates the defiler at 1.5, but a swarm is thrown down to protect the hydra at 1.5
why are classics's wraiths afk in invis mode..
Zero drops the 9. There are no defences there, everything but CC slaughtered.
classic moving huge force to zero's nat - a swarm in front of the sunken stops him temporarily
swarm at zero's nat holds for now
All these drops are not doing anything.
nice reaction by zero..loses the nydus but stops the drop
Dship at 1 gets the nydus.
gah maybe classic should have taken advantage of the hydras under swarm and walked past them

soulkey expands too. his lair should be up shortly. he has 6 lings out. two scouting... ONE FINDS HIDDEN HATCH! 2 lings there though. lairs going up... soulkey puts up sunk at nat upon seeing hidden hatch.
hyvaa also starts his lair

hyvaa has a lot of speedlings zooming in... take out the sunk, but soulkey survives with 5 or 6 lings.

really obvious?
I was hoping for free vs really
Really has some rather poor TvZ, though. I don't think it'd be a good idea to send him up against someone as experienced as Zero.
What, stars only use zerg in matches?
Well Woongjin has only sent Zero (x2) and Kwanro (x1) for ace matches this round, all losses.
Wow stars has lost 6 ace matches in a row...even in last round when they used free the most.
Someone needs to tell Stars coach Zero sucks at ace and is a choker.

action looks nervous... action fighting!
I feel like Free would be a better Ace choice for Woongjin; good vZ, can go toe to toe with Really. I guess Action was sent for the same reasons, and has an edge on Really.

Action loses because his spire was in the open while zero's was beside his gas (ie zero could drone drill it).

I see, thanks. I thought there was a rule for race diversity.
wow building placement won that game. zero could drone drill to protect his
well it didn't look like action tried to get his drones out of the way at all, while zero did keep his droves moving as his mutas fired on the attacking lings
Late sunken (unnecessary anyways, as long as he keeps his drones moving so mutas can pick off lings...).
Zero won an ace match?

That's four ZvZs in a row for Zero. Guess he has been practicing hard lately.
Glad the team could end this round on a high note. Although they didn't qualify for playoffs, ZerO has ended his ZvZ losing streak, ended his Ace match loss streak, the team has ended it's 6 Ace Match Loss streak and Free is really starting to pick it up again in PL.
Really is slumping so bad they won't even send him out. Sigh. I miss Upmagic.
I don't think it had anything to do with him not performing well recently. It was just too risky to send him out against Woongjin.
YEAH FREE!
