Haha, how much do the writers draw on the LR's?
The music Roffles plays between games is really growing on me after hearing it multiple times.
go soulkey! i hope he gets through
welp, great is in the booth warming up his fingers. Canata - chewing gum as he often does wow, 59% winrate is being attributed to him? Is that his MSL career?
Canata @12 great @ 8 Map: Aztec
A confrontation on Aztec. great the green zerg at 8. Canata the red terran at 12.

Survivor King vs some scrub.
Please don't use the same build Ssak did... OL headed the wrong way, one small favor.
Canata not walling with his first depot old school no-wall late-scout greedy play?
Canata is apparently 19-3 in Survivor if I heard correctly. Survivor King indeed lol
12hatch for great at his nat rax in Canata's main
great sending the first ol the wrong way. great with a 12 hatch. canata goes supply rax.
gas slightly before pool, dronescout about to reach canata's base
1 rax cc - drone annoying the cc builder yes, a relatively normal build
drone scout from great sees the cc after rax, does a bit of harass, but a second scv comes to put a stop to it. drone scouts the main a bit and then leaves. canata getting his 2nd supply at the nat choke.
a depot blocking off part of canata's nat choke starts drone tailing the scv as it moves out to scout 2nd rax starting
scv arrives in great's main, sees the assimilator but doesn't get any farther than there, lings blocked the way lair starting for spire - nevermind the scv gets in and sees the lair bunker starting for canata at his nat, finishes as 6 lings arrive
scouting scv destroyed, finally about 8 lings break the 2 lings holding the gap - 2 new rines from the raxes destroyed scvs from the nat pulled spire starting
lings are out. canata getting a bunker by the nat cc. its finished and loaded just before the lings get there. lings going anyway, killing 2 lings standing outside, running past the bunker. 4 lings running wild in canata's main now.
That bunker placement is really bad. hahah
Canada 8031 Posts
canata lets a bunch of lings into his main. Four marines and four scvs down.
lings doing a great job in diminishing marine count, when mutas come this will be over
another 2 rines from the raxes destroyed why isn't canata using the rines from his bunker? an scv picked off? 2 firebats out canata's supposed to have good bio control...
canata losing all his fresh marines as they pop, losing some scvs as well. 2 firebats pop out and kill 3 of the lings, last dies shortly after.
ebay starts great adding more and more lings 2 firebats holding the gap now

Looks like game. Too much damage by Lings, wont be able to fight off Mutas.
Now that was a sexy runby, reminds me of zvp. Spire up, will the turrets be in time?
ebay done, a turret starting in the main not many turrets so far mutas emerge
with so few rines (and no medics) canata needs his turrets - where are they? finally a medic is seen one constructing turret destroyed
mutas morphing. great trying to bait some of the marines out of the choke with a few lings while keeping some back around the corner, but canata isn't biting. mutas out. a bit of harass in the main, pickin goff an unfinished turret, a few scvs and some marines.
2 scvs building turrets picked off make that 3 1 rine too mutas picking off one firebat at the nat - take a lot of hits from the bunker
mutaling attack on the nat bunker - scvs late to repair 4 rines from the bunker massacured lings killing mnm and scvs lings attacking the nat turrets canata down to one base, still chewing his gum great adding a LOT more mutas
lol owned
cananta is getting destroyeedddd. no surprise there though =[
BUNKER DOWN, SCVS DEAD. CC LIFTED.
Mutas attack the nat now, 1 firebat picked off. lings run in, and together with the mutas the bunker falls apart. canata bringing more marines from the main, but they die off. cc in the nat lifts, scvs run away. lings tearing down the turrets in the nat.
canata natural is stopped
Canada 8031 Posts
Barring a huge fuckup, great has this game cold.
MUTAS IN THE MAIN, ONLY 1 RINE LEFT AND LIKE, 10 LINGS IN.
canata has to stim despite having now medics mutaling getting close the the rax - picking off more turrets in the main canata's screwed
turrets being picked by lings, this will be over soon

Mutas once again attacking the main, and lings come to hlep out. Cata completely falling apart, has nothing to defend with. catana ggs.

Hm, why didn't Canata put another rax to wallin, unless he wanted to keep it hidden?
So game recap is great goes 2 hatch muta, canata decides to defend with 4 rax. Great gets 6 mutas then 12 lings, breaks canatas nat that only has a bunker and the game was over from there oh yeah there was a runby aswell
why the heck did Canata pull scvs from his nat when lings entered his main - but leave his marines in the bunker? unless he expected even more lings...in which case he would have been screwed no matter what he did

yeah, you edited, but the runby decided things - 6+ rines and a few scvs destroyed as well, that really put a damper on Canata's later defense
instead of blocking the choke with 2 marines, he should've blocked with 2 scvs, marines were easy picks and bunker with only one marine was useless to stop the runby
What I really don't understand is that Canata is pretty much one of the most experienced players still playing today - and I would have expected that experience would lead him to react well to unexpected situations... and the skills involved aren't new techniques that were developed recently...

indeed. holding a gap with just rines is usually a pretty horrible idea, unless your rine wall is like 5-thick plus perhaps the bunker could have been placed partly hugging the depot, not the cc, that would have forced the lings to cover just a bit more distance (and later made for much better repair surface area

Wow, if TLPD is accurate that was just Canata's 4th survivor loss in 24 games. soulkey the yellow zerg at 8. Shuttle the red toss at 4. It's the Aztec.
gogogo soulkey, show us why you're so good
but it's Canata's 3rd loss in a row in survivor, too... I knew he dominated survivor in the past but I didn't know he had just one loss! pool first in the main - wasn't watching that closely though
sk takes his nat as the scouting probe arrives OL sees the forge at shuttle's nat, and nex before cannon one cannons tarts though
sk takes his main gas, probe searching for the 3rd sk takes his 3rd at 1 gateway starts to finish up the choke
Lair started, seems standard.
lair starts, probe revisits the main to see it shuttle takes all probes off gas as he starts his core
one drone brought down to 5 hp by the scouting probe, runs for the safety of the nat OL sees shuttle put probes back on gas first zealot out blocking shuttle's choke
Spire going up. Shuttle must've taken note from last game to DON'T LET THE ZERG RUNBY; 3 zeals blocking.
spire starts now 2 zealots/1 probe blocking the various gaps forge starts to spin now 2 zealots/2 probes starget starts about 6 lings check out the choke arrangement - 3 zealots there now
citadel for shuttle don't tell me it's archon/+1 speedzealot?
spire finishes, not many eggs morph 2nd gate for shuttle in his nat, adding a cannon near his stargate OL still alive in his main first sair out scouting, only one scourge chasing it, the other idle at the nat den starts
OL in shuttle's main destroyed by sair 5 slow zealots moving out simcity starting at both nat/3rd, with 2 sunkens each
scourges scout the timing attack by shuttle
really nice simcity from SK, should be able to stop zeal runbys.
just speedzealot +1 I guess - about 5 of them check out sk's nat and pull back core spinning, but stargate idle 2 more gates starting in the main
Canada 8031 Posts
Sunk makes the zealots turn back. Shuttle adding an archives.
speedlots timing attack denied, sairs reaching a critical mass
2 scourge die to sairs by shuttle's main nex 7 +1 speed zealots hanging out outside sk's 3rd robo starts 2nd evo chamber starts another 2 scourge suicided into sairs
all of the zealots moves are followed by scourges
SK has a ton of mutas now, scourges scout the third from Shuttle.
man this game and the previous one look AWFULLY familiar
SPEEDZEALS RUNNING PAST THE SUNKS, GET 2 DRONE KILLS Pretty awful attack ;;
shuttle waste some zealots in soulkey wall
bunch of mutas out, though - about 8? 2 scourge follow the speedlots as they move west shuttle taking his 3rd at 6, 2 scourge see it 7 speedlots attacking sk's nat - no defense other than 2 sunkens - mutaling come to save a few drones die but overall probably not worth it one archon and a few zealots protecting the warping 3rd, 2 cannons start up queen's nest
an archon at every one of shuttle's bases forge spinning again sk actually has quite a few muta now a few lings die at the ramp towards 6 mutas micro'ing hard against archons hive starting
Still no hydras out, interesting
mutas pick off a few probes at the 3rd - now attacking a pylon micro'ing against archons - risky but the mutas have taken only 1 hit so far
SK YOU BALLER, MICROING AGAINST 3 ARCHONS
Fenrax
United States 5018 Posts
Soulkey is playing with fire there. Microing Mutas vs. 3 Archons.
here come 6 sairs...there's plenty of scourge though sk taking his 4th at 12.5 2 templar charging energy at the nat choke more muta raids on the 3rd more isolated lings dying a LOT of scourge pick off 2 sairs by courteously approaching in almost single file
Why are every one hyping Soulkey recently?
soulkey makes shuttle cancel the 4th and bought some time for this 3rd with lings
Shuttle cancels 4th because of lings. SHUTTLE GOING IN FOR AN ATTACK AGAINST LIKE, 8 SUNKS? Nope. SK ATTACKS WITH A BILLION CRACKLINGS AT THE 3RD. IT GOES DOWN!
sk taking a 4th at inner 4 - stopped by lings sk's army still mostly muts mutaling...no hydra at all? a lot of sunkens being added at the 3rd as a zealot heavy army threatens
Canada 8031 Posts
That is one hell of a sunken line at soulkey's third.
That is a lot of sunken, yes?
mutaling attacking 5 cannons at sk's 3rd army is slow to respond templar storms some of the lings but some of the probes as well
soulkey takes shuttle's 3rd nexus!

When you lose your Nexus anyway, make sure to Storm away your unneeded probes

attack at the natural fended, thats what i like about soulkey, he doesn't skimp defenses
shuttle purses his lips after he's destroyed quite a few sunkens but there's 3 left - out of 9 (not 6?) and 2 lurkers too sunken defense paying off lings attacking towards 6, but 2 cannons and lots o' zealots holds it off and nexus finishes warping in
SK on the counteroffensive, ROFL, 4th taken out AGAIN.
Canada 8031 Posts
Soulkey attacking both expos with lings simultaneously. Great play from him.
SK is brilliant, attacking the 3rd AND 4th at the same time
shuttle trying to take inner 4 again, and it's stopped by lings again a small attack on 6 doesn't do much damage ultra cavern done mutas attacking 6 though - almost no defense a storm! and archons get hits on the mutas, taking lots of them down a few lings attacking the nat choke, did they pick off one templar?

This game has more quality in it than the whole last group. Too bad that Shuttle was a bit too optimistic with that attack into 10 Sunkens.
ULTRAS! SK HAS SUCH A HUGE ECONOMY IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER WHAT HE DOES NOW!
ultras out, no idea how they're gonna get out of the 3rd wall
hrm, sk not rebuilding his simcity at his nat though wonder if those ol's have drop cracklings attacking the warping inner 4 again - and stop it despite the army nearby
4TH TAKEN OUT AGAIN. DENIED.
lings forces the nexus to cancel again

LOL THAT FOURTH IS NEVER GOING TO GET UP
so many nexus snipes. Cracklings are so great.
ultras out - sk destroying one of his 3 evos at his 3rd with sunkens shuttle's main looks so empty - with buildings and no units lots of cracklings and ultralisks running around - they attack 3 isolated archons huge stream of cracklings moving towards shuttl'es warping 4th - eliminated swarm around shuttle's 3rd - it goes down despite storms!
THIRD TAKEN DOWN AGAIN REAVER OUT?
This game sort of makes me hate soulkey for how effective his constant harass is on poor shuttle.
lol about 5 lings and 2 ultras snipe a nexus

Soulkey is so abusive with these attacks, awesome to watch.
lings runby the army to take out the 4th again
first reaver/shuttle out - a bit too late to change the game though still sk isn't taking any more bases, just throwing units at the protoss another crackling attack on inner 4 - where's the swarm? hguge plague on like 10 zealots as they attack towards sk's nat
Canada 8031 Posts
These two pronged attacks are sooo good. I could watch this all day.
wow. massive plague. sick micro on that defiler
COUNTERATTACK AT THE NAT, PLAGUED ZEALS WON'T DO ANYTHING PLAGUE EVERYWHERE
Oh my god leave britney shuttle alone! leave him alone!. 6 goes down again -____-
Soulkey is such a beast....OMG
why is shuttle backing off from the nat? there's nothing but sunkens there ultras taking down shuttle's 3rd again but now swarm/lings coming to protect sk's nat and ultraling attacking shuttle's 4th and shuttle concedes
lurkers at defense took shuttle by surprise add that to plagued zealots, the attack is completely unefective shuttle gg
Lousy play by Shuttle
shuttle gg's he reminds me of skyhigh. too one dimensional

Damn ! Poor shuttle, so much aggression by soulkey, having his 4th and 3th harassed so much, must be annoying as hell !!!
Great game ! Definitely recommended !

Because getting a fourth takes priority. How are you supposed to tech to dweb if you can't even maintain your expos? And it's expensive . Not to mention that the apm required for this and storm is pretty damn high.
12 hat >> 12 pool Not good for Great ;;

Don't hope so =/
lair for both players 2 drones on gas for sk
great's lings reaching sk's nat - sk also spawning more lings so count about even but now sk has more locally and great pulsl back
no spire for soulkey, did he forget?
lingspeed done for both players sk with a LOT of lings chasing great's great adding a sunken at his nat 2 drones pulled 4 drones pulled sk's lings dominate the nat
mass lings for soulkey take great's natural
attacking the nat hatch - down to yellow lots of drones pulled, with more lings sk just reinforcing with steady streams of lings
well so much for that. great pulling his last drones to try and defend, this is over either way, he lost far too much.
great's screwed more and more lings from sk coming and his spire is about to finish, no, it finishes and great has...nothing
as soon as the mutas pop its gg time.

Why do players always gg too late in ZvZ?
sk taking his 2nd gas still adding a few more lings but great with more lings now still great lets 3 lings into his main mutas are out lol
great's counter is fended by soulkey's muta
great adding evo, but only 7 drones total, all mining minerals no possible way he can hold
mutas out, great still has no spire, and only 7 drones left between his 2 bases. great getting a spore colony, like it matters at this point.
sk coming with an overwhelming force of mutaling one spore guarding the nat but lots of lings come drones pulled to defend one ling gets into sk's main, killed easily by drones great concedes
And there's the gg. Soulkey 2-0.
soulkey had BO advantage and was vastly superior in micro against great well played

I have such high hopes for SK. He's going to be a strong contender for the title.
Soulkey is getting scarier every match, I expect great things from him. BTW Papa Roach on the soundtrack? Why the koreans like 90's rock so much? EDIT: Smurfs in ad? WTF??
shuttle pursing his lips in the waiting room can he stand up to the King?
soulkey's recent play (and winner's interview) has really indicated his ambition to succeed He's become a top zerg very quickly, ambition is so critical to success in such a practice-dominated game. Wonder if he'll keep it? He actually reminds me of Effort a bit.
wtf - a smurf hawking phones? wonder why the advertisers chose them of all things to license for promotion
Liquibetting soulkey was a good idea looks like. Streak of 9 atm, luck's sure turned around.
SK delayed the spire to produce more lings and that was determinant to win him the game
The battle of the losers for their only hope for SURVIVAL! Who will be the survivor? Who will break the circuits for the victory? Canata the red terran at 11 Shuttle the white protoss at 1
Canata skimping on the SKT tag on his handle...what's up with that?
Canata not walling with his first depot
1st gate for shuttle rax starts near the ramp
shuttle takes his gas canata not taking his gas? 1 rax cc? core for shuttle
1rax CC it is shuttle scouting cross-positions first? not going to pay off canata takes his gas
a depot starts by Canata's ramp, bunker at his nat, 2 rines out 2 rines hold the bridge against the scouting probe - but it probably saw the bunker and shuttle should be able to guess what's going on factory starts
shuttle getting range - still no expo from him Canata lucks out and scouts shuttle first - sees no exp at the nat
Canata's scv checking out 5 for any hidden stuff but shuttle's just taking his own nat
Messing around in Soulkey's TLPD* entry I found these facts (televised matches only): 1) vT is simply out of this world, 10-5 with losses to Flash (2), Light (2) and Leta. 2) vZ is okay, 9-6 with a loss to Modesty (our great ZvZ sniper) and Effort. 3) vP is great, 7-3 (losing to Bisu and Snow) *Only matches in the last 8 months.
a different scv suicides tiself to see the nat 2nd fact for canata, first shop done and researching something cancelled for canata in the main - maybe an academy or ebay? robo for shuttle
3 ranged goons shooting at the bunker - but first tank out - tank being cautious - doesn't want get get sniped finally shuttle pulls back after taking 3 hits siege done, 2 factories with shops now academy starts observatory starts as robo finishes, 2nd gate starts

he has the highest chance. his vT, especially late game (and ESPECIALLY against late-mech) is insanely good.

Canata hasn't been sent out in PL for almost a month...
and that's why T1 is 7-0 this round
lol sad but true.
Canata's also wearing the old T1 uniform to survivor.
Canata the orange terran at 12. great the blue zerg at 8. It's time to run the triathlon.
OL headed the right way but it's not as if Canata's build orders are dangerously unpredictable. Every time in recent memory Canata has done an oddball build, it has failed miserably 1st Depot below the main ramp
great electing to go OL first oh don't tell me Canata is going cc first again
hatch first for great dronescout as well canata leading off with CC, well it worked last game at the front nat
great's OL checking out Canata's back nat - this might just work rax starts
canata taking his gas, OL sees it drone arrives to see the front nat expo wow great aggressive with his drone spit
lair starts canata once again is really slow to scout drone still scoring lots of hits on the scv building a depot - it gets away at 5hp - as good as dead scv arrives in great's main - nothing holding the ramp scv dies to the drone factory starts
everything going right for Canata so far let's hope his build works though still adding rines
spire starts for great starport starts great taking a hidden? expo at 2
great also expanding to 7.5? greedy academy, ebay start a valk build maybe?
vulture nets its first ling kill no, fast vessel - facility starts, factory is lifted scanners starting
vulture chilling outside great's nat, one sunken there, another creep being added den for great canata takes his 2nd gas, adding a 2nd rax in his main wonder how long it'll take him to figure out about 2 queen's nest already
3rd rax being added hive already - zero mutas
2nd starport for canata oh, there's a few mutas coming - very few just 2? with scourge vessel running - first vessel sniped
Wow, he actually snipes the Vessel. XD

Holy shit, that was one heck of a ballsy move, picking off that vessel.
Nice vessel snipe. commentators were excited there.
a few hydra drive the vulture away from the nat damn the hatch at 2 has pretty good drone saturation another rax being added
4 sunkens + 2 lurkers at great's nat canata seems like he has no clue about 2 moving out with just a few mnm
defiler mount starting - one dropship out with 2 vessels - scv rubs against the eggs towards 2 - canata seems to have no clue
5 lurkers waiting midmap - but vessels are there irradiate goes off another
nydus done towards 2, a sunken being added that expo is really going to pay off for great I expect dropship heading down the middle of the map - if only it went down the right side...

Proxy base games are always so painful to watch. You know how it ends, great knows how it ends, only Canata is clueless.

Dropship spotted and taken out! Canata might just be screwed here.
1 vessel traded for 1 defiler in an irradiate 2 scourge patrolling the east of great's 3rd but the dropship comes form the south more scourge are sent south as great notices - dropship sniped, dropping one harmless rine great in great shape

wtf how did he know about that dropship lol
wow Great is playing great!
swarm/lurkerling inching towards canata's mnm 2 vessels scourged? ol's still slow
that dropship snipe was huge.
Canada 8031 Posts
canata expanding to inner 1? scv checking out 3, 4, etc - still doesn't know about the base at 2... damn mnm/vessel chill outside of the west eggs to 2 great about to send out 2 scourge from 2 but holds them back great takign a 5th at 10

FINALLY sees the 3 o'clock expo!
players definitely need to mix up their scouting patterns defiler at great's nat irradiated 2 lurkers destroyed another 2 defilers irradiated canata's taken his back nat as well
2 dropships inc! SCOURGEEEEE
2 dropships load up for canata finally a vessel is sacrificed and sees the creep at 2 ol's have speed - do they have drop?
tons of lurkers breaking the eggs north of 2 canata's nat with no defense?!? defiler/lurkerling waiting
Canada 8031 Posts
defiler/lurkerling with swarm attacking canata's 3rd at inner 1 - defenseless nat left alone mnm taking down the idle hatch at 10
canata adding armory/factory finally canata making a move towards 2 - 2 vessels there, why not use eraser?
wtf? canata walks a whole bunch of bio into the lurkers at inner 1 - a drop at canata's back nat - canata never bothered to take out the eggs...
great is playing really well
CANATA'S COUNTERDROP GETS SCOURGED

Why didn't Canata break the eggs to his expo? T_T

drop at backyard expo! (actually for main but fended off) DROPSHIP SNIPED!
great drops in teh back nat, and the eggs aren't broken. That expo can't be helped.

Haha woooooops Canata guess you should have destroyed those eggs!
Canata didn't kill his eggs in backdoor expo...T_T
a plague on the eggs between Canata's back eggs and main canata building a cc at 5 despite there being a hatch at 4...
great's economy is unbelievably strong lurkers with swarm leapfrogging into canata's main canata losing tons of bio to them
CANATA, YOUR RINES CAN'T SHOOT AT STUFF THROUGH SWARM.
over late gg timing from canata :/
it's over for the king? a few mnm moving towards 2 lurkerling moving towards canata's 3rd at inner 1 lots of them canata never teched to mines either? canata losing lots of stuff mnm attacking 2 unmolested though
cc floated from 5 as lurkers arrive and great expanding to 5

LOL, he killed his own dropship...
mnm dropped at 5 - out of range of the lurkers hatch cancelled lurkerling finish off the mnm and dropship scourged more stuff being dropped at canata's back nat canata sends scvs to mine at inner 1 without landing his cc

I'd agree but don't underestimate great's capacity to fail cracklings running amok in canata's main though - losing depots 2 vessels plagued

Absolutely not, you forget that it is a Canata's game. Game will last another 20 minutes.
canata walking MORE mnm into lurkers under swarm and the rest get plagued for his troubles I think Canata might be close to retiring...he gave up captaincy of T1 too
Canada 8031 Posts
That swarm + plague on the rines came out super fast. Wow.
finally plagues the vessel cloud, expecting gg from canata once he loses that
Also fan of Hyuk, Pure, free, Action, Stats, Leta, Horang2, Snow, Flying, Shuttle, Movie, Paralyze
more vessels plagued as they irradiate stuff Canata somehow has managed to take 6.5, a few rines there holding it finally canata doing eraser, at 4 quite a few drone kills actually

Hmm, if Great was HoeJJa then Canata might stillhave a chance.
ERASER CANATA STILL FIGHTING ON
Eraser on 2 vessels wipes out a fair number of drones at 4.

lol, yeah, that's right.
muta out, takes out 2 plagued vessels pure mnm attacking towards inner 9 pure ling killing pure rine at 6.5 great loses inner 9 only tons of bases to go
one ultra killing scvs at canata's back nat pure rine finish it off, at some cost 10 kill lurker at inner 1 - canata with no detection despite a siege tank nearby
great taking 3, retaking inner 9, cancels as mnm arrives great doesn't know hot co close things out? ling drop at 11 but rines are ready
ffs great was playing really well and then he ... stopped?
Hey canata, when your vessels have been plagued, don't park them next to spore colonies.

He cant lose anymore so it doesnt matter.
ultraling killing 2 tanks caught alone mnm drive them away commentators still saying why doesn't canata have mines... anothe rdrop on canata's back nat - with ultras this time but the ultras were lacking health and die to rine/tank canata attacking twoards 9.5 again - great with a few ultras under swarm
WHY ARE YOU PLAYING WELL NOW, CANATA
Don't see how Canata will pull this now..
oh my god great is splitting his forces so much and failing left and right, this might be over for him if canata succeeds on his push
the ultras leave the swarm and die... Canata takes inner 5 great's suddenly forgotten how to attack another 2 vessels scourged large amounts of mnm walking around the map doing nothing - but heading towards 5 this time, and there's not much defenses there

DEFILER SNIPED, NYDUS SNIPED~
defiler managers to get one swarm off before dying nydus destroyed one ultra under swarm a drop at 6.5 destroys the hatch there but great attacking inner 1 with cracklings

great's macro is going to win this, and nothing else.
canata army's control is lol :|
how did great make so few ultras when he must have had a bajillion gas!!
Great mutates badly injured hatchery to lair to heal it! Wow!
Also fan of Hyuk, Pure, free, Action, Stats, Leta, Horang2, Snow, Flying, Shuttle, Movie, Paralyze
hatch at 5 in the red, great opts to morph a lair there canata taking the cc at 2 despite great depleting it earlier on an attack on inner 5 canata's pretty poor
another 2 vessels scourged cc floating towards 6.5 great throwing small groups of units piecemeal against canata's main forces

Very low mineral saturation, I think, he only has a few drones per base
a plague on most of the mnm canata definitely in bad shape cc at 2 cancelled or destroyed? canata hardly mining at all at this point canata concedes
canata out of minerals, great still comfortably on 3 base, won't be long now

canata looks stunned his play has really gone downhill in recent months
Darn Terrans just don't want to die D:
this game went from a 1 sided rape to a "what the hell?", then to a prompt gg.

he had a lot of defilers, and none of them live very long.
That was a pretty terrible display of TvZ by Canata. Looks like SKT terrans have no idea how to play that matchup the standard way.

Actually it was a Proxy Hatch from Great taht didnt get discovered, that was about it. Cnata played good.
dang was rly hoping for canata to make it.... but yea with such play i guess it's good that he didnt T_T
Canata packs his bag and red jacket no coach went with him today?!? or the camera didn't catch them? walks past ssak? wordlessly, still sitting on a couch? great doesn't look particularly happy for advancing
I just wanted to point out how lackluster great's defiler use is. Like really really bad, it made me root for canata to see it...
Cool game! ^__^ Great had a period in that game where he played like a fucking beast. :D

I told you guys about stairs. I'm not really sure why so many people considered this a group of death. Some of the games were tense but given both the players and the matchups I didn't see it going any other way.
ahhhh, canata was so behind in bases.... yet he managed to pump out cycles after cycles of units and there were a few moments of awesome micro O__O first time i rooted for canata.... weird
im sad Shuttle didn't perform better but happy that Soulkey made it 2-0. Hope him to go far this season !

I do think he played terribly regardless of the proxy hatch. Terrible reaction time all around, terrible vessel control, terrible multitasking, terrible pretty much everything except macro.
yay for my liquibet... always vote for zerg for mediocre player matchups... lololol
damn canata. i was really hoping that he would make it
Hey, the good people advanced.
Canata fail as usual, tsk. :/
