I thought Kal was really ahead after taking out 9, as he was on equal bases. Then he took another base but he stopped macroing or something? I don't even know because I don't think you get steam rolled that badly by that if you had some units. It's like all of Kal's units disappeared 0.o he had no rvrs to fight swarm he lost a lot against lurk/ling and swarm he didnt scout 3 had he killed 3, seeing that jd didnt expand to the top left he would have easily won. but yeah, kinda hard to tell why pro gamer make such mistakes. i mean i try to get rvr with my third gas -.- | ||

It's like all of Kal's units disappeared 0.o I think Kal had a few too many gateways while he was still on 2 base, which made his initial army huge and why he won his first big engagement against JD but he couldn't support it because his main and natural were mined out by the time JD countered. | ||

Kal should have attacked the 12 o'clock expansion instead of the 9 o'clock, but I think Kal didn't know about it. JD losing the 9 o'clock meant little. | ||

It's obvious, but I'd like to point out that Jaedong still had mining from his main and nat and third and 3 o clock while Kal only had mining from his seven after a bit, so that does explain why Kal seemed to have a smaller than expected army. Not to mention a lot of it died to swarm +lurkerling. | ||

Kal had it big time and lost it because he couldn't keep his mind calm... Also, swarm was literally the only thing that could turn that game. Cracklings are imba good but can't fight that difference of psy. | ||

He needed to expand and I don't think he could've just walked into 3, so he took lower left. By the time he rebuilt his forces, mostly goons/archons, he was facing infinite swarms. | ||

Kal was mined out at his main at that point and almost mined out at his natural. He went up to 7/8 gates on 2 base to break the contain, so if he didn't expand to 7 immediately it'd end up being 3 base to 1 mining anyways. I think his decision was fine, it was just his execution that was lacking. That and not building a single reaver all of midgame. | ||

Kal had great storms this game, but they are not a repeatable answer to mass cracklings. | ||
