Okay from the looks of the stream, Bogus has 4 rax, acad and ebay flashing Hydra has hydraling moving out, no spire as far as I can tell Lurkers are morphing midmap MnM force trying to move out, but Hydra looks as though hes powering lings A second bunker for Bogus at nat Lurkerling moving in Lurkers take out quite a bit of the lurkers 2nd bunker goes down, with all marines Turret is up, and fbats are out Tons of scvs and the bio force are dying BUNKER DOWN 3 lurkers left, with lings coming to reinforce the push 1 lurker left Lings are focusing the CC, Lifts in the red, factory now just starting Hydra taking a 3rd at 7
lurkers coming in again! 4 burrow on the path to 1 and 4 burrow on the bridges now inching closer and closer, leapfrogging towards bogus's small mnmnf group here they come!
Starport getting built for Bogus Lurkers burrowing at asll possible exits out by ground pushing inch my inch Take out a few of the bio, Hydra loses a few lurkers Science facility is almost complete Hive is complete Bogus has a tank now, and Defilers are on the way
bous breaks out of the contain easily, hydra retreating his forces far back
another hatch for hydra in his his main
one vessel out with 3 tanks now
5 lurkers burrowing outside hydra's nat scourge/lurker/ling attack bogus's forces from behind, doesn't work, bogus shreds them and the scourge from the front are destroyed too
This is keeping me at the end of my seat I don't think Hydra spotted the dropship, or wait he has scourge so... OL at 12 spots it Seige completes and pushes the lurkers back Misclick causes one to die Scourge intercept the dropship! Tanks killing off alost of the lurker and lings 1-1 for bio 5th hatchery in base for Hydra Bogus moving out with Bio tank force Defilers out now
5 rax for Bogus And he is moving down towards 7 oclock Defiler and 3 lings come out of the nydus Hydra reinforcing, and going to take 7 nat Bogus pressuring the bridges Playguuu Doesn't manage to get a vessel with scourge Bogus looking to take his Mineral only Another dropshup out of the field
Mine drag into 3 lurkers, take out a few MnM with them Bogus pressuring the nat again Drop drop drop drop drop at 7 SNipe the Nydus Playgu on the MnM The main force pressing up the nat now
good move by bogus - threaten both the front and back of the same expo at the same time but bogus mucks up and runs his tanks over lurkers, losing one hydra recovers as bogus stops for awhile and throws a swarm on top of the lurkers at 8
Drop in the main Bogus snipes the Mound and maybe the Cow den, no more troops reinforce Cracklings trying to kill off the defences at 11 Two vessels go down CC at mineral only forced to life
Two dropships get destroyed at his nat Vessels get poped to scourge the nat is going to get pressured even more with Cows lings lurkers and Defilers Bogus GG's HYDRA <3
Bogus showed that he still thinks very clearly when under pressure. He didn't panic when forced to lift his CC and after stablising he knew that it was his turn to be on the offensive to gain an advantage. Problem for Bogus was that Hydra managed to delay the push by that extra minute for defiler+consume to finish.
Marine and scv poking at the mineral line of Hero's nat Lings are out Nice scv wall Rine gets a ling kill, two before dying Leta's nat should be secure with 4? rines guarding it Acadamy going up, Lair morphing
leta adding 2nd rax 2 lings heading south see another scouting scv sent forwards but after giving it a kiss, let it go for 4 lings at hero's nat the scv gets into the main all the same it doesn't see the spire in the corner though...but it turns around and nwo sees it as well as a creep being added at the nat
3rd rax being added
leta sending some mnm forwards
1 ling in leta's main, nets 1 scv kill, sees the ebay start
leta tries to attack the 1 finished sunken but lings force him off
Ling nets a scv kill MnM force trys to break the sunken line, but that ling in his base has 2 kills before dying Sunkens morph just before medics arrive Ebay is up, spire is still morphing Leta catchs lings trying to run into the main Fact is up, mutas out Den getting morphed
Irradiate on the muta clumps! Bio tanks and vessel moving towards Hero Lurkers stopping them Mutas flying over head to their doom Seige complete, and a dropship!
Drop in the base of the main Drones taking out a good numer of drones Leta takes out almost all of the lurkers at 11 before they burrown SNIPE ON THE NYDUS 3rd is going down
hero donates a defiler/lurker combo to leta's army moving back to leta's main his lurkers now burrow at the main mineral line and raxes but tanks with vessels clearing out the lurkers now
Another drop of marines in the back of the main Lurkers pressing the nat 2 bunkers though Not sure it will be tnough Leta takes out the gas and pool in main Lurkers getting funneled into the choke Taking out the nat Hive down to 1/2 health before all the rines get taken out Defiler SNIPEUUU Hero has lrukers all over Leta's main, but no defiler support Tanks take out most of them 11 kill lurker!
Movie pushing Kal's nat Reaver goes down! Movie still has a revaer, but it gets sniped Kal forced to pull porbes Kal has another reaver but it gets sniped Movie with reinforcing goons
Kal has two reavers, archives and forge spinning, 6 gates Shuttle for Movie, I spy an archon 0-0-1 for Movie Shuttle for Kal -.- face cam 6 gates for Movie too Both players taking 3rd?
Huge engagement Tons of archons for Kal, but Movie has some aswell Kal getting his goons melted away, and his shuttle taken out Movie marching into Kal's nat, GG from Kal -.-
Yes movie! Damn he's on fire! I'm a bit miffed I have leta in place of him in FPL, but as a fan I'm so proud of his performance right now. He's a worthy protoss ace of CJ.

Kal's downfall is incredibly saddening. I hope he doesn't go the way of the Jangbi, Best, and Free, none of whom are even arguably top players any more.
Edit: Stork sucks now too but you never know with him haha
6 gates for Horang 4 for Shuttle Shuttle pressing the nat, reaver taking shots at cannons Storm on the reaver Horang with a shuttle of his own Dark Archon!! For shuttle Shuttle does not DIE Storm kills 11 probes, misses mass of probes that got transfered down
1 templar feedbacked, storm off on 2 reavers horang2 picks off the shuttle with goons with the reavers inside though and now his army can march into shuttle's nat
Horang2 moving out down towards Shuttle 0-0-1 for Horant? 0-0-0 for Shuttle? FEEDBACK On HT after storms Reaver's of Shuttle get picked up, and get sniped off! Horang 2 pressing down the nat Destroyed everything WOOO WOOO WOO Shuttle's hand not even on the keyboard TONY THE TIGERTOSS! <3
Though I (and many others) often hate on Horang2... you gotta give him credit. He is DAMN good with that 2-base push, and it seems like no normal protosses can figure out this timing. 9 gates... who would have expected such a thing?

Well horang2 had faster storm because he went DT forge FE, you can't engage that army without storm, Shuttle's only chance in that battle was to feedback before storms wrecked his army

well ACE only has 7 wins to catch up in the rankings...
is this for real? even after winning like no games in wl
that's still actually really far behind. pretty much impossible for them to make playoffs I think :\
despite STX doing so bad right now, ranks 4-9 are pretty much completely up for grabs still.
from kespa site:
SKT 29-14 KT 27-15 CJ 27-16 woongjin 21-21 MBC 20-22 khan 20-22 hwaseung 19-24 STX 19-24 wemade 18-24 ACE 12-30
SKT/KT/CJ are all pretty much guaranteed playoff spots at this point, but the next 6 teams all have a good shot at playoffs if they can get their shit together (all seem pretty fucking hit or miss every night).
it makes me so sad to see kal slumping so bad right now. even his play just isnt as inspired as it used to be :\. I think losing last season in Ro8 both times by a single game (and both to players he should of beaten) really had an effect on him mentally or something. he just hasnt been the same since :\
Looking forward to a Leta/Hydra interview, Hydra always has said good things about Leta about how he is positive even though he is slumping, given that they're roommates he talks to Leta a lot or listens lol. I don't think the two have won on the same day recently? So maybe we'll get some more insights on that relationship.

They won in their last game together, and they are very good friends. I think that Leta is quite a major factor in how Hydra is doing well nowadays, not just because of helping him with his ZvT, but because of cheering him on and being a good friend in general. The merge with Sparkyz has been a very good impact on Hydra, along with Horang2 corrupting Movie and Snow and making them more BM and sassy.
Tl;dr: Even though Leta and Horang2 "corrupted" CJ by making them do (^_^) instead of (-_-) nowadays, their hyper-positiveness definitely benefits CJ. Look how beastly CJ has been looking lately.
Oh right forgot about CJ vs Oz, we didn't get an interview for that though. Yeah it's neat to see even though only Leta and Horang2 (plus Zeus) are left from Sparkyz the atmosphere helped cheer CJ up. Horang2 is definitely improving with Snow and Movie to practice with, on Sparkyz he was the uncontested best Protoss lol. Even if Leta's play isn't getting him the results he had on Sparkyz at least he has a good roommate on CJ.

You can try searching for the interviews on Fomos global in the future. Here's the one for horang2 and movie: + Show Spoiler +
Man CJ is so fucking beastly. Why did I listen to my brain instead of my heart for FPL. We don't even have EFFORT back yet O_O
And about the Sparkyz thing, it's pretty surprising Leta wasn't one of the fixers considering his shady past before; what with audience hacking and all that.

Once EffOrt comes back, I think it's going to be 4-0's all around :D
Can't wait till then!
It's going to be extremely unfair
Effort/Hydra/Leta/Horang2/Movie/Snow
How can any team hope to beat such a line-up?
It's an alright line-up. Effort is a practice partner right now, so time will tell if he'll be able to regain his former form. Move & Leta have both had serious slumping streaks, though now they seem to be tearing everything apart. All the players have flaws, but there are other players to take the burden off.
