Maybe I'm a little paranoid now because of the match-fixing scandal, and I don't even have another theory other than "zero played suspiciously bad", it's just that that play from zero was so uncharacteristic not only of zero but of progamers in general. Even the worst progamers dodge storms.
whatev, raised a red flag for me Moving the drones through the storm wasn't great play. But the zealots stayed alive because Violet was running them around randomly, which Zero probably didn't expect... people normally try and attack stuff with their units.
Yeah Violet was the weird one there. He had 5 zealots in Zero's base, but did'nt do anything except run around in a circle. Maybe it was just to distract till his surprise attack with the templars?

Yeah, pretty sure that's what was going on. The announcers were making a big deal of going back and forth between Zero's base and Violet's army approaching Zero's front.

should have screen shotted guy who fell asleep =[

wrong thread sorry
god i make this mistake too often these days
|
aw, a couple sharing a sandwich? cute
SK takes a 3rd at 3
stats takes his main gas
|
Reach lecturing his juniors on how to be a man
first couple lings out
fangal surprised the camera is on her - leans over to give her bf a kiss in public!
|
another couple on the air, they react to the camera by covering their faces
core finishes for stats
one zealot idling in the middle of the map...
|
stargate starts at the nat, probe sees SK's 3rd at 3
forge starts to spin, a citadel is placed
6 speedlings finally manage to destroy a scouting probe mid map
4th hatch starts at the nat (with the lair)
lings holding right outside stats' choke
spire starting in the main, 5th hatch at the 3rd
|
first sair out and shooting ol's
SK gets a slow OL right into stat's main and sees all the tech, nice, including the fresh new archives
and the spinning core
a new sair out and shooting that OL - his sacrifice will not be forgotten (unless SK loses of course)
|
2nd gate for stats in his main
the usual den/hatch wall at the nat done, evo/hatch/sunken still morphing at the 3rd
dt heads out with a few zealots towards SK's nat, back off as they see the forces heading out - the DT stays behind though, watching the entrance
5 sairs gathered now?
4 gates now for stats
|
a bunch of slow zealots heading out - 6 of them
SK already has plenty of forces at his nat though
2 scourge scouting all of stats' main again
sairs visit SK's 3rd, back off from the hydra there
a few more zealots join stats' party
a dt moving around too
sairs find some OLs but too many hydra around
|
pylon goes up at 10, scourge sees it - and immediately 7 lings appear and destroy the probe that placed it - 2 zealots arrive to protect the pylon, 1 ling burrows at the expo spot and 4 back off
|
lol wtf? line of borrowed hydras
|
hahaha - 4 lings burrow until 4 templar pass, then they emerge and try to snipe the templar
but zealots protectively hold them
lol SK burrows a perfectly diagonal line of hydra across the middle of the map...
|
Yummm... I love banana milk.
No, it doesn't have anything to do with the match.
Soulkey's burrow upgrade is paying dividends in both scouting and threatening HT's.
|
Oh wow just got here, what horrible matchups for KT, lol.

you should watch the first game.

robo finishes for stats at his nat, forge still spinning
ling at 10 unburrows and leaves
a few lurkers already morphing
sairs visit SK's nat, manage to catch 2 (fast) OLs chilling over the cliff, vulnerable and pick them off
a bunch of zealots and a dt moving out (but goons staying behind...)
hydra give ground against them
SK taking a 4th at 2

DT heads to 2 and sees the hatch there - heads past it and hides in a corner though
now the drones are being maynarded
hydra backing off from stats' ball moving out
actually SK's econ is probably not as good as it could be since he turned out a lot of hydra earlier than the usual timing and didn't try to bust with them
the hidden dt at the corner of 2 is revealed, nets 5+ drone kills
at the same time stats attacks 3, SK is very slow to respond
and his incoming lurker/hydra is stormed to oblivion!
