you're a legend bro!! editing in now
Pysched for this matchup! I hope Stars can pull this match out and break their losing streak.

I dunno who to cheer for I want stars to win cause they dont deserve to go into such a losing streak but i want wemade to win too
wait, what's SKT doin on PLU/MBC? oh it's an older match edit: stupid me got the start times wrong
Wemade Fighting! A hidden benefit of a Wemade victory would be the further ascension of ACE on top of the rankings. :O
Got to root for the Stars. Fan of zero/free and anti-fan of Shine. Hope Shine and Mind practiced a ton for today's match and get owned by Stork tonight.

haha yeah, Stork's gonna own 'em so hard that he'll somehow take both Ro8 spots
With Stars current form I doubt they'll end their losing streak. What team should I root for so that ACE has a better chance for playoffs?

Just like they've raped their last several opponents? I mean, I hope you're right, but Stars have been a streaky team for quite a while and right now they're on a losing streak.
I can't believe there's a thread for this match but not the SKT-MBC game. Times are changing?

Is anyone making the other thread?

You have a lot of confidence in a team that's gone 0-7 this round.
In the absence of a thread for the other game and a stream for this, I'm just going to note that Afrotoss has one-upped his best hair award and won best Christmas hat as well. EDIT: Now saying we have a stream but Craton's not actually loading, can someone confirm one way or the other? Much <3 to all streamers one way or the other. EDIT EDIT: Craton now up. Craton I love you.

thanks guys ^^ Craton's working for me, just try f5ing i guess
WeMade apparently trying the all-Terran stunt - Major almost never plays except when they do this. Really for Stars. (Woongjin 12-16 against Terran, Really's 3-4. Major hasn't played TvT this season; WeMade is 15-13 overall against Terrans..)
Yeah just refresh Craton is working for me
Canada 2480 Posts
I had to refresh/reload Craton about 7 times before it came up. So just keep trying.
Not sure what the problem is - out of town for the holidays so my internet isn't as good as normal, but I'm streaming xsebt just fine. Bah. :| Edit: lol, every time I refresh I get another 30-second ad, it sucks not being able to install adblock my parents' work laptops -- I've been spoiled with ad-free internet for so long, I didn't even know TL had advertisments. o_O
Thanks, Craton, for the stream.
3 factory's for major, starport for really
really going for cloacked wraiths, major about to take an all mineral 3rd
good to see major playing again
major sees the wraith and puts down an academy, already has starport's add-on and armory on the way
2 wraiths on major main killing scv's, 1 goliath comes and wraiths cloack, comsat going on in natural, valkyrie spawns and wraiths try to focus it down, major repairing with a lot of scvs
Is the stream being really laggy for you guys?
wraiths fly out as comsat finishes, really flying a cc to the island

Major drives off harass at 11 Battle happening in the center
Just wait a bit then and hope it settles down
United States 5582 Posts
Major harassing Really's expo at 6 now- SCVs scrambling around!
major drops at 2 but really gets some vulture's there fast to defend
I'm not sure if really's persistence towards this harassment is paying off. he could be gaining ground in the center, or expanding or something...
a lot of stuff going on and i cant write fast enough to keep up, seems like major just killed all scv's at really's base at 2
Wow this TvT is taking for-ever!
Doesn't seem to be a lot of dropships for both players
really tried a drop, major saw it and forced really to drop on a bad stop and major killed all, really dropping again at 9, force's a lift on the cc
Is this going to be another 45-minute TvT? ><
Valkyrie on Valkyrie action is so funny, so much blue, so little actual damage... ahah Neither player has enough wraiths for them to be very effective...
I'm hoping the valk becomes standard in TvT. That would leave exactly one Terran unit (the ghost) out of standard play. Amazing.
seems like major has a huge advantage in macro, at least for me, and micro too xD really just dropped on major's main and its making huge damage
Reallys drop doing so much damage in the main, where is majors army??
Canada 2480 Posts
Hahah really making 5 more starports at the 4th, Battle cruisers before its too late!
Noooooo defend your shizzle, major!
last tank just died on major's main but damage was amazing, really putting down a lot of starports, mass wraiths, anyway seems like its already a gg, major cant keep up with army production
awww making wraiths out of them.... Shoooot
Really delayed production for a long time
GG. I have a good feeling today =)
really gets in major's main with all his army and major gg's

soulkey so baller thas mah boy
Empire of the Sun Baby the terran at 1.5 Soulkey the zerg at 4.5
Soulkey vs Baby, should be a good game
baby teal terran at 2, soulkey yellow zerg at 4.5
OL headed the right way workers mining away~...
SK opening with an OL... overpool!
still no rax from Baby? This could end poorly
oh no...Baby with the 13/14CC
Soulkey Ownage time folks.

OMG 9 pool(overpool?) vs 14 CC THATS MAH BOY SOULKEY
SK takes his nat, his pool completes - but only 1 egg! now 2... Baby finally starts a rax in his main 6 lings are out... dronescout heads to 7.5

It's just a step in the training of a master. You must pass through the phase of the 14CC before becoming S-class if you truly desire enlightenment.
Baby adding 2nd rax - his first isn't even done with more than 6 lings heading to his base but 2 lings divert to hunt down his scouting scv? baby pulling scvs from his main, adding a bunker at his nat despite having zero rines
but one rine is out - baby holds???????? oh boy - SK mucked that up baby's scouting arrives in sk's main

stream freezes...resumes with baby having lost most of his SCVs
The 9 pool didn't seem to do as much dmg as I imagined

Baby moving out with 4 marines
lair starts at SK's nat 3rd hatch finishes in SK's main Baby sending his rines forwards - right into sk's nat - 4 rines against <4 lings - bunker starts at the nat

drones pulled, so many drones die - bunker finishes, 2 rines get in!

BUNKER RUSHHHHHHHHHHH- Is successful! :D Lings take everything down though.
bunch of lings surround the bunker and kill it - only 1 rine inside still, SK lost so many drones in that attack spire starting in his main Baby's academy finishes
Canada 2480 Posts
bunker down this is pretty much over
bunker done at Baby's nat to handle the incoming lings though and a depot further narrows the gap scanners starting for baby
Baby adding ebay, 3rd rax ling gets to the back of the nat but there's no benefit for that as one rine hunts it down spire done, a few eggs form
Ha ha Zero you are my hero man. That's all we need for Christmas. Anyway Stars hwaiting !

SK gonna try a mutaling bust? just doing normal muta harass
a few turrets start for baby - mutas are out, baby has a decent amount of rines with 2 medics mutas head into the main - can't even net a single kill before backing off SK adding a 3rd at 7.5 (his 4th hatch) factory starting for baby
SK now adding a den - takes a few shots at the depot outside the nat with his mutas - taking a lot of damage from mnm, first muta dead baby not repairing his bunker or depot at his nat though... mutas still trying to attack, dealing very little damage well, a turret explodes baby repairing now

Poorly.
SK flies into the main mineral line with mutas though, nets a few scv kills, Baby cancels his starport and starts it again after the mutas leave an OL near the nat destroyed mutaling attack on the nat, baby micros well and holes easily
baby moving out with some mnm - takes down another OL - the mutas try to harass but can't deal damage baby adding 4th and 5th facts, starport adding control tower 3rd gas up for SK
Lol starport placement... Man soulkey got some late lurkers....
That early pressure from baby really set soulkey behind by a mile. I bet he wishes he hadn't made so many lings in response....
first tank out for baby - damn SK could have used hold lurker but he unburrowed them just as baby's mnm got close...
2 tanks now with baby's army - hive incoming for SK - starting a creep at his nat Baby's mnm trying to locate the mutas rather than pushing towards the nat first dropship out - heading into SK's main!
mutaling ends baby's drop easily but baby's tank sieges up at the nat only 2 lurkers 2 sunkens there now 6 lurkers - they rush out but mnm rise to the occasion but one tank picked off by mutas, another arrives mutas pick off the other tank!
Canada 2480 Posts
Nice tank snipe, soulkey moving out of his base with lurkers... but a vessel isn't too far away.
wow, soulkey's play is really impressive. Drop, no trouble, tanks, no trouble.
SK actually hodling quite well now finally we see a vessel from Baby - SK's lurkerling + muta pushing baby west on the map - but baby now streaming his mnm/vessel force towards the 3rd - 3 sunkens there ready irradiate on mutas, great split baby walks a bunch of pure rine reinforcements into ONE lurker and loses a bunch
Canada 2480 Posts
where di Baby find all that money
Baby's mnm walking towards SK's 3rd - no lurkers holding the choke? only 3 sunkens there, no nydus lots of lurkers rushing in though and a bunch of new lings appear - lurkerling/mutas now attack and dsetroy baby's forces in 7.5
Baby's strike force at 7 just got pooped on.
Canada 2480 Posts
Not looking so well for Baby
Wow baby did not use his army well... now its all gone! Oh wellllll.
SK playing amazingly well Baby having to pull back his meager remaining forces back towards his nat to meet his reinforcements baby's isolated tank/rines are found by lukerling/mutas! but they retreat in time SK rushes a bunch of lurkers towards a narrow choke - bad move! but still he has so much more stuff Baby has to pull back SK taking a 4th at 7, a few lurkers found moving that way, take damage from rines 3 dropships heading out now!

defilers out consume probably not finished sk taking a 4th

MASSIVE DROP INCOMING BY BABY 3 DROPSHIPS
Wow wat to throw away an advantage soulkey
SK still doesn't have OL speed - loses another OL midmap SK adding creeps in his main - ready for everything? 3 dropships dropping in sk's main - the creeps are destroyed before they become sunkens focus fire on the evo chamber - and now the drones at the main mineral line but a lurker burrows and swarm goes down - baby doesn't can or pull back! baby with a dropship at SK's nat! fresh defiler destroyed!
baby reinforcing his drop in the main - SK doesn't have control baby drops forces at 7.5 in range of a sunken - whoops we get to watch them die one by one
baby's 3rd at 2 comes online Baby regaining the initiative in the game - still has 5 rines and 1 medic alive in SK's main - picking off drones being transferred 3 vessel/mnm now at sk's 4th a single vessel eraser on drones - doesn't work that well because it's so slow but SK doesn't respond well and eventually bunches of drones go splat
Sick game Baby's unrelenting attack vs. Soulkey's gosu defense
one vessel scourged baby still dropping more forces in SK' s main - pure rine 2 scourge to the east miss everything another vessel scourged
Canada 2480 Posts
baby taking a 4th at 10.5 - are lings headed that way? still some mnm chilling at the north of SK's main dropship heads to SK's nat from the west - scourged after dropping 3 rines and 1 medic - one lurker there will end things major firebat force moves into SK's 4th - no match for lurkers there
Baby swooping in to save fox! Very nice play :D super-aggressive vs gosu defense indeed

HYDRA DEN ALMOST WENT DOWN Baby lost focus for a second and it gets away with 50 hp
Baby reveals his mnm in SK's main - swarm over a lurker, so they head west and with a scan, pick off another lurker but now they focus on a lurker under swarm and all die 2 lurkers irradiated at SK's 4th single-vessel eraser at SK's 3rd but with no zerg units to the side 2 vessels scourged - more lurkers reinforce the 4th and baby backs off single-vessel eraser at the 4th again, drones run to the nydus
The micro's not that great on BaBy's part, but his playstyle this game is feeling almost BoxeR-esque. Maybe it's all the drops.
but the drones COME BACK from the nydus before the vessel is scourged - and a significant amount of them die 3 more dropships head into SK's main SK losing control of this game - hasn't been able to attack for the last 7 minutes! swarms save SK's main from major damage finally Baby does a 2-vessel eraser - drones die much more quickly this way
Baby put up a bunch of factories
3 dropships -> eraser -> dropships -> eraser repeat.
drones run to the nyduses again, not too many killed and both vessels at 7.5 are scourged still SK is on the back foot Baby taking a 5th at 11 (SK still on 4 bases...)

SK needs another expansion, Baby already running on 4-5 base

SK adding ultra cavern 2 factories with addon producing tanks at baby's nat baby rushing into the 4th with mnm again, swarm, backs off a ling attack at 11 ended by rine/firebat a small attack towards 2 also similarly terminated armories spinning away soon a huge army of metal will crush! nice plague on some of baby's mnm at the SE hexside
Shouldn't soulkey have started ultra whoring a few years ago?
another dropship heads to SK's main - SK's units there all idle a pair of scourge come and stop 3 feet away pure rine heads down to the main mineral line but a swarm goes over it
Baby adding even more factories at his 4th (not his nat, I was mistaken) this is soon gonna get UGLY SK finally taking a 5th at 8
Soulkey is doing well under this pressure, but realistically Baby should've been able to finish it by now.... not the best game sadly. But maybe SK CAN STILL DO IT!!!
Baby not doing the full mech transition though, adding 2 more raxes at 10.5 tank caught all alone near 3 - picked off by lings despite d-matrix lone vessel there scourged too ultraling with defiler support moving out idle dropship scourged!
but a mnm force with a LOT of tanks backing them up heading down towards 7 a plague on the mnm but what is SK going to do about the tanks? swarm/lurker walk up to baby's 3rd at 2, baby runs his scvs
plague on 4 of the 8 tanks sieging 7 not enough methinks single vessel eraser on lings heading out of SK's 4th single vessel eraser so weak and slow... but the siege on 7 still continues!
Canada 2480 Posts
OH SHIT DROP SNIPES CAVERN
first ultras out, one irradiated and even erasing drones around it drop into SK's 3rd at 7.5 finally ultras heading out under swarm against Baby's 10 tanks outside 7 the plagued tanks explode quickly but all the ultras disappear! drop in SK's main! ultra cavern destroyed!
Sniped the ultra cavern and SK instantly rebuilds
another ultra cavern starts in SK's main - 4 vessels that head into 7 plagued - but now MNM by the swarmed mineral line the tanks are dominating the place despite swarms Baby takes a 6th at 10
i think soulkey is gettign rolled
Why drop ultras when lings would've been just as effective... This is over, NT lol
anyone else's stream video stop but audio continues?
hatchery at 7 explodes - tanks still shooting away 2 ol's drop ultras next to baby's tanks, quite afew tanks actually explode - more lings follow up and clear out most of the tanks! but baby probably has a lot of new forces on the way mnm runs into 7 now that the swarms expire and take out more buildings!
lol burrow prevents eraser
2 vessels chilling at 7.5, the drones burrow - one lurker under swarm at 7 holding off the mnm but more tanks arriving... Baby elevating units into 7.5 directly
hahah burrow to avoid Vessel, does that even work? crazy mind games here.
hundred swarms and plagues can't save soulkey, great effort though
another 2 vessels scourged, separately and another 2 baby really hasn't been taking care of them baby drops some units at 12 - plagued? Baby making no moves towards 8...that place mining away happily for ages ultraling runs past baby's tank/mnm position outside 7 - into another huge reinforcing group of mnm, most dying out
Baby has a fucking huge army. Soulkey shakes his head
Soulkey looks like hes going to lose any second
SK sending drones to 4 without a hatch finally he concedes
And as I type that he gg's
Soulkey GGs. Baby played very well.

Baby's build was pretty dope. Soulkey could have scourged better in the first half of the game, but overall he was just outplayed by Baby.

Absolutely insane play from both players. Incredible defense from Soulkey and unrelenting offense from Baby. Soulkey defended really well against the drops but he should've done a better job with having more patrolling scourge.

I agree!
The Future Flash vs Future Jaedong game was SOOO awesome!
Clutch drops to get baby back in the game, really looked like he had lost it after soulkey killed the army on babys first big push.
Baby played very well. I don't like him much and was rooting for Soulkey but I have to admit that he used the map control he had so much better than Fantasy did in his game against SK yesterday.

Midas is up! vs Free! I miss the happy/cheerful Midas...
United States 5582 Posts
Free! :D Here's to hoping that you're truly outta your slump.
Free takes a sip of some korean tea? Midas takes a swig of pocari sweat - the drink of choice for Terrans!
Circuit breaking time! Midas the terran at 10.5 Free the protoss at 7.5

It's sad to think that at one time, circa Mind's MSL win, that his playstyle was actually a joy to watch. Chinese broadcasters always make fun of mind, saying how he followed Flash's lead into the art of turtling. And never broke out of it.
1 gateway for free no greedy toss here he takes his gas
core for free, show midas's base, please! ah, a rax there near the ramp, but not walling free scouting the wrong way, midas starts his nat already, good ol' 1 rax CC
Midas takes his gas, Free sending out a zealot north - midas with 1 rine out
Midas starts a bunker at his nat - zealot arrives - and heads into the main! Midas brings 2 scvs to try to deal with it free just content to scout

I'd like to watch some of those old VODs of him, but I think they're all down with jon747 ~__~
free with just one probe on gas? Midas starts his factory in the main - zealot able to pull away safely from midas's main and leaves Midas loads up 4 rines into his bunker free with one goon chilling outside, waiting for range to finish
Midas starts a 2nd fact, free takes his nat free doesn't even send his 2nd goon out towards midas's nat - it checks out the center instead midas adding an ebay
4 goons pounding at the bunker, 4 scvs repairing
1st tank out - goons rush to try to snipe it - Midas has to repair siege finishes - finally the repair money drain stops 2 gates for free now, already has his 2nd gas mining
Someone should make a soothing wallpaper showing 3 dragoons attacking a bunker and 4 SCVs repairing it
archives already done, stargate on the way midas unsieging his 3 tanks, moving out? no, not exactly 2 dts heading up for free
Trades a tank for a DT *shrug*
dts able to pick off 1 tank and heavily damage another before they retreat back to the nat turret, 1 dt dies and 1 gets away

his vs Bisu MSL finals vods are prolly up in that thread Roffles made with all the SL finals, I enjoyed those finals
midas adding armory/scanners free plops a pylon at 4.5 adding arbiter tribunal midas loses 2 rines to a dt as he moves out - midas now moving out with 3 tank 2 rine and a bunch of vultures
Midas moving towards the highground near 7 - moves past it - sets up and sieges to the east of free's nat - dt comes and swipes at the tank, midas scans quickly another dt arrives and midas has no energy - 2 tanks picked off!
one slow shuttle heads out and hangs around the middle of nowhere - giving midas plenty of time to respond 2 dts dropped by a turret under construction at midas's bridges, scan! dts picked up free takes his 3rd at 7
3rd cc floating towards 11 2 dts dropped in the main - swiping at a depot outside of turret detectiong range - but a goliath arrives to drive the shuttle away which drops a dt at the 3rd! attacking scvs and vultures now...
free is actually getting a lot of mileage out of his dts midas scans his 3rd - dt gets picked up by shuttle - the idle dt in the main now moves out to attack the main mineral line dt still alive at the 3rd
10 kill dt at the 3rd finally expires midas has a 4th coming at 12 though free taking his own 4th at 6
vultures rush to the warping 4th at 6 - but goons are already there maybe 6 vultures traded for 1 goon and 1 probe there
arbiter out and heading north midas adding turrets to 12, goons setting up and now moving into 12 from the east!
midas not pulling scvs - instead moving some vultures and tanks to the west side - finally scvs are pulled - goons focusing on the CC! 2 remaining scvs repairing but it's not enough as the CC explodes!free backs off, mission accomplished adding his 7th to 9th gates, has a forge spinning midas with double armory though, first dropship out for him and loads up
free taking a 5th at 4.5 arbiter heading towards the plateau! 1 tank 2 vulture drop at free's nat, probes run back to the main dropship picks up the tank and leaves as goons respond
midas has so many tanks wow
midas rebuilding his 4th at 12 free adding a 2nd stargate core isn't spinning though
Yeah really big tank line
free rushing into 12 with a bunch of units, including zealots the tanks sieged there aren't enough to hold things off goons picking off a lot of scvs - now focusing on the CC floating away, being repaired arbiter heading that way - here it comes!
Free pushing into 12 and making it lift
arbiter freezes 3 tanks and 2 vultures on the western ramp to 12, but the CC backs off and survives
free is in a dangerous position actually, midas has the ability to completely wipe free's army and still have a ton of tanks/vults remaining at which point free wouldbe in some deep shit.
Free engaging Midas's army
midas moves out with a huge tank/vulture army - but free with some beautiful stasises stops it cold outside midas's bridges midas taking a 5th at 9
midas needs a few more goliaths free has like 11 gates in his main dropship heads to the east - discovers free's base at 1.5, lol
Midas with 600 billion mines
free is so rich... Midas moving towards free's megachoke vultures catch a few probes maynarding to the east free setting up to attack 12 again - there's a ton o mines there but just 1 tank and 1 vulture midas's vultures reach 5 and find the new nex warping there free has sooo many bases even templar joining the fray at 12
Midas everywhere, free in serious trouble
part of midas's army razing 4 though, 2 arbiters headed that way vultures raiding 6 as well
Where does he get these units?
nice - free freezes Midas's army on the ramp to 4.5 - Midas can't move forwards goons doing damage to 12 still but finally being finished off free recalls a bunch of zealots in the middle of midas's army at 4 - and with a templar takes out most of the tanks, just 2 left
Free doesnt have an army and is losing bases, but defending well with a recall on top of the attacking T force
2 arbiters clean up midas's army at 4 Midas finally attacking towards 1.5 a recall on 12!
Midas runs his scvs away from 12 - tanks leapfrogging into 1.5 proper! CC at 12 destroyed 3 vultures throwing themselves at a cannon at 6 storm on a vessel - doesn't work very well
This game is goin craaaazy.Free with some really good storms at 1, not enough to save though
Free defending SO damn well but midas just has dudes everywhere
huge vulture train headed towards 1.5 - free adding a lot of cannons there? good storms on the vultures though, only a few left midas expands to 3, interesting free losing goons to mines even with an obs right there a LOT of goons actually
even a templar dies to mines - what a waste! storm in empty air goon/zealots attacking at 9 small recall at 1.5 clearing out a few of midas's army
Haha this game is completely insane
midas with mostly vultures respond and clear the attack on 9 2 arbiters attacking midas's new expo at 3 - now some goon/zealot joins the fun - midas moving with a tank -heavy army from the west towards 3 another arbiter heads to 9 and recalls there
CC at 3 destroyed, CC at 9 will probably be destroyed - midas floating a CC to 12 though vessels chck out free adding even more cannons to 1.5 but the base has no probes mining? 2 vulture/1 goliath vs 1 cannon at 1.5 a lot of tanks headed that way though!
holy shit free coming back, midas economy is devastated
free adding even more cannons to 1.5 - as if they'll do any good against the train of tanks headed that way an arbiter comes though! will free recall again? he does - a small recall at 1.5 - midas doesn't scan!!!
wtf midas loses his entire army at 1.5 because no vessel no scan... that wasn't a small army either a few goons attacking towards 12 but there's enough mines/tanks to stop them but a templar storms to tanks - many more goon/zealot/arbiter headed that way
midas being limited back to his corner of the map - he'll fall soon if he can't take another base - can't keep replenishing his losses with barely any econ
Dang Craton off the air. Oh well, probably gg for midas.
Gah Midas. If he loses it's probably going to be Roro in a ZvZ. :E
NOOOOO D: WHAT ABOUT THOSE TANKS??? But most likely gg yay free [hopefully]!
anyone knows whats going on in that game or everyone was on craton's stream? xD
Craton is back, but this game's stream is frozen it looks like it's over though, an ad break

Looking pretty decent for Woongjin Woongjin gogo
Just didn't know where midas army went when free was recalling all over the place then you see his army and free recalls once again and it all dies. Man, you had that.

That sneaky ling move by Crazy Hydra kills a few drones and sealed the game for him! Basically, Roro and Crazy Hydra were in a muta battle. Roro harassed the nat drones mining gas but ignored a handful (2-3 lings) harassing his main. Econ deficit into getting rolled by muta count. Roro GGs. Stars Victory 4-2 Damnit Wemade

I hope this means the Stars break out of their slump.
I'm happy Stars managed a win, they are one of my favourite teams for sure.
Winners league has always been good for Stars, so I think they'll be able to play catch up pretty well in rounds 3 and 4

Shine lost? awesome! I'll have to watch that then
I knew something was up when I read the recommended games and saw that a ZvZ was recommended. I then proceeded to read the LR thread and I lol'd.
Thanks to Craton, I just watched the Zero vs Shine game. And I find it funny that Shine's ZvZ streak ends just like that.
