dunno if GTR is going to do this but: http://1.plu.cn/ <-- use IE, click on PPlive, uuSee, or QQlive and accept the addon; it'll probably switch to the SKT game halfway though ...

one instance being not getting upgrades and choosing to build scourge instead of mutas, and then controlling the scourge poorly... I mean its not like it was one mismicro that lost it for clam here

well if you count the failure to clone scourge an instance of "one mismicro" then yes it would be one instance that lost it for clam. The reason to build scourge to compensate for lack of upgrades wouldn't necessarily count as fucking up lol.. : P
2 Control groups of Mutas doing some harassment, two irradiates by Bogus but mutas are seperated quickly. Bogus looking to push, but seems hesitant to do so he just holds back to establish his third (mistake imo)
Sea taking the 6 as he finishes clearing up Kal's main. Vultures raid the 10 main that Kal took on Sea's half of the map, and siege tanks are taking down the 3 expo.
Kal rebuilding all his gates at the 1 main and attacking into Sea's army in the center of the map, but it gets cleaned up. Sea is retaking his 4th at the 9.5
Yeah, this is over... Sea has built up tanks, and while Kal has very skillfully kept in the game by attacking different areas, Sea's material advantage looks insurmountable.
Sea now sieging up at the 2' expo as his 2 new expansions get up and running. A couple siege tanks begin shelling the 10' as vultures mine up outside to protect them.
Kal manages to save both expos, but has no probes mining from them, while Sea is mining off a couple fresh bases and traps Kal's dragoons that saved the 10' with the rest of his army. Should be gg soon.
A new wave of tanks cleans up everything at the 10' and kills the nexus. Kal is now down to the 3 bases in the top right of the map, and Sea is pushing in. Sea has more tanks than Kal has units and he's just running him over without using siege mode.
Sea sieges up outside both the topright nat and third, while Kal tries to harass with a few zealots at the 6' island expo. Kal cleans up the siege outside the nat, but Sea is now taking the top left bases and sending more units to Kal's only remaining bases.
Sea poom pooms over to the top right. Bad gg timing, but Kal is playing really really well. Usually when someone's playing a lost game like this their play is much more sloppy.
Great game overall. At this point it's a little fitting that Kal's fighting to the last zealot.
That game was great for so many reasons. There was unconventional with the proxy robo and light reaver contain. There was spectacular micro from Kal with his reavers. There was clutch play with the dmatrix to win the big breakout battle for Sea. There was great decision-making with Kal not going up against the wall with his main under attack, but denying Sea's 4th to give him a chance. There was tenacity staying in the game, and flair in dmatrixing vultures and poom pooming.

Like any other sports team.. my father was a hardcore Eagles fan (American Football reference time!) and he would always wonder the night before games "I wonder which Eagles will show up today...the really good ones that win all the time, or the Eagles who slack of and lose games for no reason."
Guess MBC is just like that.
Also, STX should have played Shuttle. Shuttle AK imo.
Not many people notice this, but the rarest thing in WL is when 2 teams play and the matches perfectly alternate, where every player who wins one game loses the very next. It's even rarer than RAKs, so pretty neat.

It makes perfect sense when you think about it, but I have never thought of that. Nice fact.
When a match I'm looking forward to comes up I always hope for that scenario. You get to see more of the team.

And also you get to read a WL's interview on 4 players. Sweet.

It seems only Sea was interviewed.
There was overall very little press coverage of this match. No photosets from either DES or Fomos.
