Leta had map control, expos coming online throughout the bottom left corner of the map, and Soulkey simply didn't have the economy to fully transition to Ultralisks. Even if he did, Leta had enough Siege Tanks and Vultures to keep a reasonable number at bay. Soulkey's key mistake was the mismicro with his Mutalisks at the engagement @ 4oclock - he lost all of them, and consequently, he lost too many early Lurkers and Defilers in the defense to keep himself from being contained. After that battle, he was on his heels the first of the game. At that point, he played very well IMHO, being very efficient with his constrained resources. His spellcasting and tactics ensured that he was making good use of every Defiler and Lurker at his disposal. However, Leta's mine strategy kept Soulkey from making any real advances, and I guess at that point, he got desperate and tried to go Ultralisks without a real econ to support it. I would've almost argued for Guardians, had Leta not gone Goliaths, I'm guessing in anticipation of Queens. | ||

Since the beginning of mech transition his units were a lot more cost effective. He could never challenge for map control so he can only do damage when Leta's units are not there. If he focuses on 8, Leta will focus on defending 8 and he Leta will win at 8, just like Leta wins wherever he chooses to fight because SK's economy is so weak. Leta's economy is miles ahead of SK's even without 8 and 9. It all goes back to the massive damage that was done to SK's economy at his 3rd due to the ineffectiveness of his mutas. | ||
