jangbi keep it up dude! hoping so much that the old jangbi is getting back (dont lemme down!)
JangBi getting a lot of dragoons near Stats nat. Uses a shuttle to drop them in Stats main! Goons vs hts and probes fighting! Stats loses his forces, victory for JangBi!

pylon at the nat, probescout as is wise action already sending out a drone to the north looping around to the center... proxy hatch?
ooh, just tuned in. good we took set 1... we must take it without going to ace match! brave sends scout probe but action's dodging drone spins around

wow wth action? i hope you know what youre doing.
brave going nex-gateway since he sees no pool pool now placed
LOL Action with a hatchery going up at Brave's would be third @ 3. This will be a surprise for Brave
Action looks like he's got this!
well the lings from the proxy hatch will arrive at brave's choke a lot earlier than he expects action takes his nat as well (3rd hatch), takes his main gas
Umm...that hatch blocks his own natural?
2 lings head out before the first cannon finishes, brave pulls probes to block, both lings stopped one drone tries to get through, dies

Such quick ling travel time tipped hidden expo off for brave.
action adds a den brave's core finishes probe scouts the den?
Wow Brave blocks the proxy lings that pop with ease, not allowing a single one of them to go to the main. Also nets a wandering drone kill too.
Hydra Den going down! Hydra all-in incoming
Masterful defense from Brave,kills the lings and scouting drone

it looks like it? brave adds stargate his probe checks out 10.5, but no hatch there
the probe manages to scout the den -.-
brave adds citadel, his zealot heading out sees hydra from the hatch at 3, he begins to add 3 more cannons immediately
Brave, don't pull a Stork, build some effin' cannons!
Hydra all-in from Action? Strange game so far. I guess he doesn't need that gas at his natural.
Brave knows where hidden expo is now, definitely.

then why did he send a probe to 10.5? action adds a 4th hatch at the proper place at his nat brave adds 2 more gates in his main
action with a very funky strategy with funky expansion points
His hydras sure took some unnecessary damage -.-
brave gets enough cannons to repel the initial pressure action starts producing probes, expands to 9 o'clock, prepares to macro up
action takes his 4th at 9 (5th hatch) first sair out exploring, sees the lair start in the main only now brave taking his nat gas
Oh wait, it looks like he can still fit another hatchery at the correct location in his natural. It didn't look like it'd fit.
Has Brave scouted the hidden 3rd at 3 o'clock?
6th hatch for action in his main hmm, will that creep morphing at 3 be able to hit the pylon? bunch of slow zealots heading out
Hope Action goes for drop in the main...or builds sunkens into Brave's natural.
brave's zealot speed finishes just as his zealots arrive in action's nat the hydra desperately give ground, allowing sairs to pick off ovies

Oh man, I love BW speedlots! So powerful.
Action has lots of drones in his third. Brave zealots(lol) moving out. Zealots and hydras fighting.
multiple drone losses in the main, and sairs still destroying more and more overlords still 5 zealots alive in action's nat finally cleared wonder how much in the hole action's supply is one dt heading out brave adds 5th and 6th gates in his main
So disappointed in you Action -_- Looks like Action is going to hold, but Brave is playing this very well, aside from not scouting the what should be obvious proxy hatch earlier.
yay dt dies with no kills :D
hmm, looks like action actually isn't in neg supply, morphing lurkers ovie speed done dt visits 9, dies to ovie/hydra action's drone count pretty bad but if he can hold he could be in good shape speed ovie checks out brave's main, brave's core spinning
haha brave's sair finally sees it
action adds his first evo, takes his 3rd gas (at 3) another ling of zealots head out, taking a few lurker spines to tickle their feet hydra moving back to defend
4 templar waiting at the nat, along with a shuttle first goon spotted hydra chasing the zealots across the bottom of the map
first observer out, a few lurkers outside brave's nat taken out but brave brings his army back, dt elevated outside of brave's nat to the left, heading out

That's what it says *cough*
dt heads to 9, destroyed by hydra/ovie brave breaking out of his nat, terrible storm dodging by action allows lots of his hydra to get decimated finally action wakes up and dodges ab it
shiiiiit...shuttle goes down
That one drone in the army sure is fearless.
second drone brought into the fight for action; this one meets his death like his brother earlier

brave's shuttle heads out, down the middle of the map, runs into a huge group of hydra dn is taken out wtf action brought a drone all the way to outside brave's nat brave with some storm takes out more of action's forces there but stops now adding more gateways
ah shuttle goes down Brave keeps on trying to break free from lurker contain but gets foiled
action reinforcing his army with lings, but now backing off from brave's next round of zealots a few new templar appear brave backs back to his nat again action just has to hold off a few more attacks and brave will starve another shuttle loads up some templar
Some nice observer control by Brave... if this was Stork playing, he would have lost at least 3 obs by now XD
Sick storms by Brave, catches one drone.
Action drones evicted from the third
2 templar storm drop at 3, only one drone killed, action fled quickly but he brings nothing to drive off the shuttle hydra rush forwards to snipe brave's new observer brave does a zealot runby action's army outside brave's nat shuttle heading west across the top of the map, crosses and overlord
Action with clutch obs snipes all game long.
brave's +2 zealots really dealing damage to the hydra shyttle gets past hydra to drop a zealot at 9, drones fleet now heading towards action's main 2 templar dropped there decently nice storm drop action's unmicro'd hydra elsewhere falling to zealots
Lurker who doesnt want to burrow dies a miserably death!
brave breaking out with his army again, this time action doesn't have much left, but some reoinforcements coming action doesn't dodge any storms, yikes but brave's army still feels the sting of attrition as action replenishes with more forces
And another brave drone by Action, wow.
Action's going to win this? O.O
brave sigh why try so hard entire game to damage 7/9oclock when theres f***ing 3oclock right there. RIGHT THERE.
Throwing those speedlots away was a bad idea. He needed them to breakout.
brave's last gasp army now getting cut down by more hydra (+ a few lurkers) from action action should have more and more units coming as brave is soon to mine out

Brave's main is mined out

Seems Brave will try an all-in.
why didn't brave elevate a probe to take try to take 12? well his main is mined out drop at 3, decent storm dodges by action's drones, unlike his hydra brave's army reaches outside 9, the last attack? probes being brought forwards
PROBE RUSH! edit: ok nvm just long distance mining from center, still entertaining.
Protoss final attack coming in Action just needs to hold and he wins
A fuckton of units meet Brave's hanbang. Damn action reacts fast to harass at 3.
brave's army really small now wait, brave distance-mining from the center? yes, he is pretty good storms as he attacks action's army but action just has too much stuff and brave concedes
Brave is just getting starved out, he's long distance mining :/ can't keep this up for long gg

Brave ggs. Wow Action I'm impressed, such a unique strategy which led to an intense game
sigh... highly, HIGHLY disappointing decision making from brave the entire game.
fuck yeah action! nice play!
never ending stream of units, gg
Pretty fun game IMO.
Hmm...it looked like Brave had chances in that game, but Action eventually just starved him in the end.
What a match, proxy forward hatch is a brave action, also brave drone in action lol
I think Brave got thrown off his game by Action's weird strategy.
Spire tech is overrated o.O edit: so is hive tech
the game was weird. and good job action :D
Both players had good mechanics, but Action simply had better decision-making... Not taking out 3 o'clock when it was vulnerable or grabbing 12 later in the game really hurt Brave this game.
Action, you're on my anti. If you're going to win, can you at least win by playing well? Sheesh. Unmicro'd hydras, walking drones into storm, ... Of course, Brave wasn't great this game either, but still.
I thought Action's strategy seemed kind of silly at the beginning but it ended up being pretty cool. Now I hope Flash comes up next!
I predict Crazy-Hydra or roo, maybe barracks vs grape/ great
I wish to know why Yellow is harassing Flash. Looks awesome!
lol what was that "Behind the story" thing that was on right now on the stream.... What did they talk abt? Flash looked upset

Ya, but I think he could've smashed that expo easily with his initial zealots (the ones who went and pressured Action hard at his nat). Would've been better in the long run methinks.

CH vs turn? this'll be interesting CH at 9 Turn at 11.5
Urrrgghhh... Why Turn? Reality has been the better Terran rookie for Khan this season by far.
8 rax from turn ZOMG IS THIS THE REALITY-BUILD
Rax before supply in the main. This is a pretty half-assed build IMO.
CH is 12-hatching like usual if Turn scouts correctly, he could rush BSB!!!
I'm so sad I can't watch this right now TTTT go KT!! I appreciate anyone that will LR today
Japan 11285 Posts
Might be able to mindfuck CH.
but CH's drone is headed that way, denied by the first marine on the ramp but if CH knows his timings he should know it's an 8rax at least!
drones pulled to CH's nat CH gets a drone past 3 marines and sees BOTH raxes scv still hanging outside CH's nat, which completes
Japan 11285 Posts
another 4 scvs pulled forwards, bunker starts at the nat but CH bringing his lings forwards, 4 marines murdered easily the bunker interrupted another marine destroyed
Shitty marine control is shitty, Turn loses all of his first initial marines.
Cheese denied, always good to see! :D
Japan 11285 Posts
zerglings are out for CH trying to flank kills MOST of the rines!!
total failure on turn's part so far... bunker canceled or destroyed turn running back to hold his own ramp wow
CH getting lair turn with neither expo nor tech
Nice blocking of the sunken placement... into complete failure.
reading LR from here. I'm confused. so is CH winning? seems like he killed most of the rinse without losing much?
Very nice rush defense by C-H. Gets past the scvs with his lings and murders a few marines.
even better, turn's marines are away and a ling gets into his main, sees him taking his gas and starting academy
Yeah CH held off the cheese with minimal losses...
yeah, CH is in good shape spire, 2nd creep at his nat on the way

CH takes his 2nd gas turn now takes his own nat, adding ebay, researching stim I think the ling sent to the nat saw the expo, 3rd creep at CH's nat (overly cautious methinks)
Turn seems so behind in econ, y still not expanding?? is he preparing for a timing push??

Nah, it is that severe. If CH just plays properly he'll win this 10 times out of 10.
CH's muta micro isn't best but now he finds the main mineral line with only a few turrets and now a few lings attack the nat as turn's marines enter the main to deal with the mutas
Mutas and marines dancing. Decent defense by turn.
turn allowing his mnm to become a vulnerable line to the mutas his mnm count is really low more being whittled down by mutas
Turn looking to push out with mnm force :/ CH defends with sunkens, killing Turn's production with his mutas...GG.
CH still dealing damage with mutas, Turn on 4 raxes now I hope CH is planning to tech to lurkers soon... one of his separated mutas sees some mnm head south yikes turn is indecisive with his mobile mnm

Wow turn that was silly. Have some patience man.
There was no way for Turn to win that after the initial debacle.
Scan into gg, game 3 was very anti-climactic.
I think Turn scanned that base, and was like "fuck that man..." and gg'd.
Crazy_Hydra wins with only mutas again. I like that he's bringing back the aggressive 2 hatch mutalisks style.
turn should have went for the 3rd, since lurker tech was nowhere in sight with CH replenishing mutas the way he was but he still would've been behind

He wasn't just behind, he had literally lost the game at that point (when he pushed out). He had lost control of his rax area to the mutas, and at that point it's game over if you can't pull off a succesful counter.

Reality has no chance here. Flash has probably been practicing TvT exclusively for MSL. Sending a T against him in PL is just asking to die.

reality with rax/gas in his main, flash sending out another scv to scout his forward rax finishes and he scouts right with that scv, lucky
Flash just used his Pocari Sweat stim pack. A Terran massacure is about to happen.
Flash giving his wrist a break with some oldschool cheese :>
reality's scouting scv sees the 2 marines with flash's proxy rax he immediately starts a bunker in his main, alsob rings 2 scvs forwards adds his factory flash bunkers outside reality's main reality gets one rine into his own bunker!
Flash repairing his own 2 scvs brought forwards will flash expand? reality's in decent shape now
reality adding a SECOND factory and gets his scv into flash's main, who is adding his first factory now, 1 scv on gas
ALLEYCAT BLUES 48897 Posts
scv's doing bro hug repair.
don't screw up your 2fact, reality, you can punish this first machine shop done for reality flash taking his nat, adding his first shop but flash's floating rax about to enter reality's main
1 tank out hitting flash's bunker in reality's nat, flash floating his rax around - he could have used a more direct route into reality's main to see more, but guess he wants to keep the rax to add factories reality adding an armory?
ALLEYCAT BLUES 48897 Posts
hmm my issue is that flash has just finished his fact wheras Reality is producing from 2.
flash adding 2nd factory siege done for reality, flash immediately evacuates his bunker weird - if reality goes 2 fact why not focus with an armory? mines done for flash, laid around
...wtf. 2 fac vs 1+ an expo....Flash, you may be dead friend...
so far reality taking very little damage from mines, his army getting hear flash's nat mines on top of the ramp will be a danger but cleared! reality's own mines done flash pulling lots of scvs to defend
Old school Flash SCV defense. Nice!
nice SCV pull from Flash Takes out the two siege tanks
Wow clutch SCV pull, did he even lose any?
omg. Killer worker pull by Flash
did u see that defense goddamn
and the pulled scvs eliminate reality's tanks, flash now with 2 of his own tanks to hold his nat, starport done, adding academy reality's 2 goliaths sent out eat a mine

Lost 1 to a vulture I think.
reality going for a counter push. Flash is gonna have to rely on some crafty mine placement.
Easily defended by pulling some SCVs. :D Nice.
Reality is behind in the starport marathon that is about to ensue... Flash adding a 3rd factory, Reality still on 2 fact... getting an academy
flash also with siege done, armory on the way reality adding starport, now he's behind
OMG, that scv pull is so smart....
ALLEYCAT BLUES 48897 Posts
is Neo7's stream behind or something?
Reality is dead, mines cleared out enough so there wasn't enough support for the tanks, plus flash's siege timing was perfect anyway.
wraith out hitting reality's floating rax leaving flash's main reality adding academy at least he has his own nat up, taking his nat gas flash moving out of his nat with his own army, added control tower finally reality lands his rax but already in the red lost
reality with 2nd starport at his nat, first one has control tower, researching cloak flash with a few units set up on the SE hexside
flash's wraiths taking his from reality's in reality's main flash's army moving out? no, it stops reality's wraith out hitting flash's army without antiair
Flash loses his first wraith carelessly... large army for Flash in the centre moving out
man i think ive had enough of wraiths now. bring back dropship play pls!
flash's new goliaths heading out flash in the center of the map, reality with sieged tanks on the NW, only 4 though, to flash's 7 tanks flash heads west instead, sets up on the W hexside
Flash's army looks scary.
Flash with double the tank count of reallity, wins the battle easily
flash mines up reality's potential 3rd while taking his own 3rd at 4 - reality's mines there don't block the CC flash moving units up the center to attack reality's units on the NW hexside mine laied near 2 sieged tanks, only one survives in the red this could be over soon
Flash has a sieged tank line set up successfully, he's going to win.
lol, reality's lone wraith pushing back flash's army Adds a second wraith, snipes all the goliaths, flash's scans quickly running out
invis wraiths owning flash's tanks
flash runs out of energy though and cloaked wraiths destroy his goliath, now whittling down his tanks as they unsiege and flee 1 goliath moving out to meet them, scan, reality still micro'ing, almost like a muta the scan runs out, goliath picked off
Annoying flies prevent Flash from ending it.

reality drops an scv at 12 getting a few more tank kills, but flash now with 2 fresh goliaths with his army vulture visits 10, no base there but dropship heading towards flash's main while wraiths hit his nat flash's 1 wraith destroy the dropship after 1 vulture dropped at the nat, 1 in the main
2 tanks shot down by wraiths. Flash desperately trying to shoo them away with one gol. 3rd tank goes down. 4th tank goes down.
flash with one valk out, wraiths pacing flash's army moving north again, reality setting up by the NW hexside, nets a few kills with sieged tanks, then loses a bunch of isolated vultures he mines up 2
Reality's vultures are always out of position whenever the two engage...
reality taking a 3rd at 12 flash adding a 2nd starport is that 5 factories? reality advances towards the center with a few units, doesn't get much flash's 1 goliath blocks the ramp towards 4 from many vultures, reality loses more vultures trying to mine-destroy the goliath reality also has a CC floating to 10, but there's mines there reality doesn't scan?
Who would you guys say is ahead? Neither looks completely dominant...I think?
wow, risky reality clears the mines at 10 without scanning adds TWO ebays?!?!?!
Flash's 3rd been mining for FAR longer than reality.
Double engineering bay from Reality
Flash is light years ahead.
flash adding a 4th CC at 3 ah, reality cancels one of the two ebays he was building flash now researching cloak for himself 2 vultures visit 10, cleared quickly by a sieged tank Flash sending units NE, setting up on the plateau but reality already has a handful of units at 1/1.5
reality starting to add valks too flash moving up the west side of the map with ground units, his air units move out too flash moving to siege 10, he brings his air force along
reality cloaks his air force, hunts flash's air force, flash cloaks and reality flees did reality seriously enter that fight without having comsat energy to spare? foolish!
lol, all getting valkyries?? who said valks are useless??
I really hate this Wraith/Valk stuff.
arghhhh i hate wraith wars

Agreed. I miss the mass dropship play, so much cooler to watch.
reality wins an air battle elsehwere though flash's 4th comes online reality adding a 5th at 1.5 flash adding a 5th at 7 reality's island mining with just a few scvs reality's wraiths picking off flash's tanks on the NE hexside flash's cloaked wraiths come and fire a single shot, get wiped out
FLASH OUT OF POSITION, LOSES 5 TANKS BUFFER
Reality is putting up a good fight
flash totally taking down reality's base at 10 but some of flash's army caught in the middle unawares by reality's sieged tanks on the NE hexside!
The fuck Flash, what was that?
reality's ground forces walk into flash's tank line across the middle of the map flash mining the minerals at 2 from below, since reality has 3 sieged tanks above at 1.5 reality taking a "5th" at 1 flash adding another CC, his 6th I think, at 8? reality moving his tanks closer to 2, stops mining flash massing starports

Considering that Reality started with a failed 2fac against a fast expo, I think he's doing pretty well.
uh oh what's going on? still reading the LR from my phone. ><
Flash is MASSING starports
reality's cloaked wraiths taking out flash's tanks at the W hexside until flash's cloaked wraiths come, reality pulls back and brings his valks to the party flash brings his goliaths to the party though along with tanks to support, reality backs off with his air force flash drops an SCV at 6 he has all 3 bases in the SW corner online
Flash has better map position but Reality has a cozy 5 bases. Both massing airforces. They engage! Flash's goliath support forces reality to pull back.
Reality's doing well... but I still know the inevitable is incoming at some point.

Well Flash is everywhere, has 7 bases atm. Reality lost his 3rd earlier, expo'd along the top. He now has 5 bases (all the top ones). The map is mostly split, with both players engaging around a bit.
reality clears a few of flash's units near the W hexside but flash has more near 9 reality is going to get overwhelmed soon by flash's econ (and mass air) if he doesn't siwtch things up

Flash is up a base, but reality has been able to maintain air control; it's been a pretty good game thus far.
reality still with almost no goliaths with his army he probably has no idea flash is massing wraiths in a big way he does sprinkle a turret with his advance though flash on 9 starports by my count
Flash saccing SCVs for more wraiths. He's looking to seize air control for good.
Flash on 6 mining bases, Reality on 4? Both mains mined out Flash with a TON of wraiths, reality losing 1 o'clock EDIT: nope, he defends 1
Flash sacking SCVs to free up supply
Japan 11285 Posts
Tons of wraiths pewpewing the 1 expo
Flash sacrificing scvs to clear supply, take out a tank with splash damage from one tank. Flash's wraiths attacking 1.5, clearing tanks and then going to town on the scvs. Reality brings his own air, the two engaging, reality also has goliaths, and flash backs off.
flash reveals his mass wraiths to take out the turret at 2, now moving up to attack 1.5 with mass wraiths this is probably it? reality is even afraid to engage with his valk-supported air force losing tons of scvs from 1.5 reality engages, with a few goliaths too able to drive flash back for now, at great cost to his scvs
flash with sooooo many wraiths....
Air forces engage! This time Reality has goliath support. Flash pulls back but reality lost like everything but 1 valk and 1 wraith. Flash with like 24 wraiths and 20 starports.
flash isn't just 1 base ahead - flash has the entire bottom half of the map, PLUS 2 and he's still denying 10 from reality so flash is actually 3 bases ahead mass wraiths visiting 1.5 again, lots of goliaths responding, flash still able to net more kills before leaving flash with a single dropship sent forwards, taking lots of turret hits
wtf?? so many starports.....
Flash with a solid lead now, his econ advantage great into a huge air force. Reality loses his island at 12.
flash's mass wraiths attacking 12, as reality's tanks attacking 2 a fair trade for flash since he's got so many extra bases reality pumping goliaths now reality sieging 8, as well, with tanks
Flash is like "So you want wraiths huh? Then you'll get wraiths." :>
Okay, Flash has way too many starports for him to lose. Reality gonna fall apart soon.
few goliaths>mass wraiths.... =.=
Flash has like 20 starports LOL
This is reminding me of Fantasy vs someone from a few days ago... many many wraith
flash just destroying turrets with his wraiths, and then picking off tanks that the turrets protect reality going all-out antiair reality sending tanks closer to 8 - he really wants to shut it down flash's wraiths head towards 2, a few turrets there, not enough, reality immediately unsieges and withdraws his tanks
Flash's wraiths cleans up the 12 island expansion Flash just rolling through everything with wraiths Turrets, tanks, Goliath, wraiths, valkaries...
Flash's wraiths just clearing everything. Flash with a fuckton of starports, and the econ to keep them all going at once. Reality trying to siege on 8 with some tanks. Flash's wraiths meanwhile attack 2 oclock, clearing a lot of tanks and then heading to 1.5, demolishing it. Reality can't even engage flash's airforce, its too big. Reality ggs.

Though I miss dropships in TvT, it's fun to watch Flash kick ass with any unit of his choosing.

Well... Stork vs token sacrificial Zerg now, I assume. And then Reach/BarrackS vs great. And then Stork vs Flash ace, we can hope.
KT send out yellow or reach when you can afford it
despite the results, reality is a kid to watch!

The current metagame heavily favours wraith/valk, and you can't play dropship play vs it, for obvious reasons.

Dropship TvT is not dead I think, but the thing is, the wraith style can basically be forced upon your opponent, so in a half-way even game it only requires one player to go wraith to dictate the game towards that direction.

I arrived just as Flash won, so I missed watching him play. I would have caught all the games today if the calender wasn't cluttered with amateur SC2 events.

That's a really early scout there stork =P
was that an overpool? wasn't paying attention stork scouts it immediately though, places a forge
Hoejja please win Kang Min hwaiting!
hoejja takes his nat unmolested, 2 eggs as the pool finishes stork takes his nat, before cannon

Someone has had enough of being cheesed.
2 cannons placed 6 lings head out after 4 of them finished off the scouting probe hoejja taking his main gas 3 probes brought forwards to block for the finished cannon gateway placed in front
That, ladies and gentlemen, was not a Bisu probe.
haha, commentators so excited about killing the scouting probe edit: AND ANOTHER ONE lol
stork takes his main gas scouting after pylon is normal, not early stork runs his probe conveniently into hoejja's 6 lings and loses it before it even gets to the center of the map hoejja's inquisitive ovie hanging out over stork's main nex, lair coming, 3rd placed at 10
stork breathing a sigh of relief at not being cheesed
Stork decides not to micro his probes -_-;;
Once again, not a Bisu probe.
cmon hoejja, lose lose lose plz
1 zealot heads out, hoejja not able to get a good surround despite having 5 lings there stork sneaks out a probe by distracting lings with the zealot spire starts, stargate and citadel starts
THIRD SCOUTING PROBE DOWN BEFORE SCOUTING ANYTHING
but stork loses his 3rd scouting probe easily to lings pretty unimpressive
Japan 11285 Posts
Better safe than sorry, remember that Stork! And who needs bisu's probes when your name is Song Byung Goo~ damn, another probe down haha
Hoejja snipes Stork's scouting probe before it even reaches Hoejja' nat.
stork's nat gas comes online hoejja droning away first sair comes out
2nd gate at stork's nat his corsair scouts hoejja's main and nat and starts hitting an overlord
teching straight to templars
Stop just donating probes. >_<
4 scourge out in time to save the ovie 4th hatch placed at hoejja's nat sair survives to make it to stork's nat hoejja taking a 4th at 7.5 (odd), 5th hatch one dt heading out scourge checking out stork's main, one lands on the new sair
sooooooo close to landing those scourges
hidden expansion, hoejja is scared of stork
Woooooaaaah, now that's a ninja expo.
Hoejja expanding to both the natural at 11 and the main at 7. Stork's dts are out and roaming
2 sunkens at hoejja's nat, 2 at his 3rd, den at 3rd, evo at nat hoejja taking a fast 5th! at 10.5 and a 7th hatch at his 3rd
If HoeJJa can actually get those 5 bases running, things are looking grim for Stork.
dt denied from the 3rd by ovie/sunken 3rd/4th creep added at hoejja's nat stork adding 3rd/4th gates, nets 2 scourge kills hoejja with lings patrolling at 2.5 and 6

A lot of static D from hoejja.
stork nets another 4 free scourge, has a bunch of zealots heading out, hoejja with 3 sunkens/1 spore at his nat though, and plenty of hydraling to back things up stork prepping to take a 3rd at 6
Stork needs to get quick third...
this is like the bisu vs jaedong timing, but hoejja has way more sunken's than jaedong in that game.... Edit: Aparently its not.... lol
Stork has a lot of sairs. Hoejja expo at 7 still not scouted yet. Stork finally loses 1 sair to scourges.

I'd think that way but I guess a fan of Stork can construe it the other way lings find stork's warping 3rd at 6, blocked by zealots though another gateway in stork's main, should be the 5th lurkers done, a few burrowed at each choke wait, hoejja didn't morph a spore at his 3rd?
queen's nest coming, a few sairs actually scourged despite so many massed stork now on 6 gates, first templar heading out, spotted by scourge another sair scourged very sloppy
hoejja adding more hatcheries stork's zealots/dt/templar outside hoejja's nat, lings try to snipe the templar, and cause stork to storm and then run lots of zealots through the storm...
some lings runs past the attacking force into hoejja's nat and snipes a templar haha edit: and snipes more hts with lings
oh man those templars almost caught
hoejja trades a bunch of lings to force a templar to storm itself hive done, defiler mound on the way nydus being made to the hidden 4th 2nd evo chamber done shuttle loads up something and heads out
Stork now losing a total of 3 corsairs to scourges. Roving lings snipe two of Stork's high templars! Hoejja's defiler mound almost up. Hoejja is playing really well. O_o
stork seems to be dying already T_T hoejja on 5 bases and stork losing 2 of his first 3 hts
This doesn't look too good for Storkuuu.
stork's sairs and shuttle chilld at 9, 4 scourge come, hit a sair shuttle approaches 10, storm gets NO drones?!?
Ouch, harass attempt at 11 o clock natural does not work at all. Storm doesn't kill any drones.
Hoejja playing... quite well thus far. Whaaaaat

Storm drop by Stork at the 9 does absolutely no damage and loses the templar.
Scout that damn ninja expo please. -__-
Nice drone control by Kang Min.
hoejja adding spore to his hidden 4th stork's zealot/goon ball pretty large but unable to do much? more lings trying to snipe the templar, causing stork to run his own units under his own storms again dt heads to some base but falls to sunkens stork taking a 4th at 7, not knowing 7.5 is hoejja's base
Hoejja's lings yet AGAIN snipe another one of Stork's HTs. Stork expanding to 7 o clock natural. He still has no idea. Hoejja's units from 7 stream in to stop Stork from expanding to 7 o clock natural!
don't worry guys, hoejja has lost from better positions!

but more lurkers appear from the nydus, and lings ome stork's army getting cornered? tons of lings stream out from hoejja's bases stork looks disheartened
WOW is hoejja actually holding off?
but stork blocking the ramp to 7.5 well and stops many of the lings but more come, stork's army getting decimated, defiler out!
stork still down the hill, oh well
stork finally realizes hoejja has 7 sends all his forces there decent storms on hydra/lurkers hoejja somehow holding? keeps surging in more and more units HOEJJA HOLDING stork sends SO MANY HTS attempting to clean up
Oh god Stork... Hoejja absolutely rolling Stork with sheer unit numbers. Stork can't even expand. There's just too much units and Hoejja beats back Stork's attempts to shut down his 7!
a rather unnecessary plague on 3 of 5 remaining goons huge reinforcing templar force arrives at 7, storms the lurkerling there to oblivion but hoejja has lots of hydraling spawning somewhere shuttle heads to 10, a few hydra are waiting, templar dropped but dies without storming
still stork finally taking down 7.5, most of his zealots get plagued in the process though hoejja loses his drones at 7.5, they ddin't fleet stork's main mined out, and his nat almost gone too dts still destroying lots of isolated lings
Stork's dt/ht combo helps defend 6 from death. Stork finally kills 7 but not without losses. Hoejja teching up to Ultralisks.
hoejja's ultra cavern done, first ultras spotted hoejja taking a "5th" at 12
stork tries to drop on 10, shuttle gets killed and ht dies before storming stork finally cleans up 7, but his 4th got delayed for so long
500 lings later, HoeJJa loses bottom left.
Is it going to be 4-1?? I can only see the LR thread now...
United States 13143 Posts
I did not expect Stork to manage to take down 7, guess a win is still possible.
a mech plague on about 5 zealots but a bigger plague on most of stork's army sent to attack 10 now ultra/lurker/ling cutting down on stork's army good storm on the lurkers, but 1 isn't enough now lots of ligns heading to 7, where stork's 4th is warping in dt with >10 kills at 12 though!
ultraling attacking towards 7 where's the rest of hoejja's army? now it comes, lots and lots of ultraling coming towards 7, with some lurkers too hoejja should finish off this base and stork will starve
Hero dt at Hoejja's 12 with 15 drone kills! Stork desperately trying to hang on to 7 o clock but it looks like he's just going to get rolled by downright neverending streams of Zerg units
All i see are streams of constant units coming from Heojja THOSE ZLINGS!
HOEJJA KILLS 7 o CLOCK YEAHHH
Endless stream of units coming out of Hoejja, no way stork will be able to stabilize from here. 4th base for stork at the 7 is denied!
lol @ the map...streams of yellow flowing down...
stork's 4th at 7 taken down, now ultraling heading towards 6, stork only has 5 cannons there, his army elsewhere not it comes back, swarms thrown! lurkers come to join the party good storm though!
hoejja on so many bases while stork still on 3 trying to get 4th up COWS ARE OUT, they push out towards storks 4th at 7 and takes it out stork must be mined out at main by now so hes only on 2 base hoejja now pushing towards storks 3rd and taking it out whens the gg stork? update: AND THERE IT IS, STORK GGs, HOEJJA PULLS THROUGH, I BELIEVED

Stork is so happy to overexpand in PvT but when he needs to in PvZ T.T

Samsung facepalm. Big time.

Well, Bogus is awesome, and Hoejja is on your team, so...
People forget that Hoejja used to have a pretty great vZ. His late game is solid as Idra once said... (pretty sure about this) v Kal on Match Point is a good example.

yeah, khan struggling so much, thank god the other teams (stx/oz/mbc) are losing a lot also or else we'de be screwed :\

yeah its all a masterplan to bring stork down, your live reports are nice but your bashing is just awful dude rofl
not so much master plan but successful mindgames? I'm sorry if you feel my comments are "bashing" but Stork is getting hoodwinked
It couldn't have been that Hoejja played a sick game from start to finish! There's no way a ninja FIFTH expansion played into any of Stork's mindgames about early agression, come on. The only way that would've mattered is if hoejja like 3 hatched before pool or something.
mind games are one thing, a player being shortsighted is other
Oh, just missed these. Well, the facepalming January pictures in the recommended games section clearly give away the results. (As such, maybe you could remove them?) We'll have to wait a little longer before Samsung's revival, though Jangbi is winning games at least.
not only khan most teams seem to be underperforming this round, ace and cj are the exceptions, give ace a play off spot if they keep it up with the top5 teams imo
hahaha i went out for lunch, came back, opened the result tag and lol'd ...
ahahaha stork lost again in vZ? ahahaha poor stork

Don't let the Khan tag wreck your reading comprehension skills. Zona was pointing out the obvious fact that Stork is a predictable opponent at times. It's not Stork bashing. It's like Jaedong's ZvP. If you had to guess if he was going to go fast hydras or muta-scourge commitment, guess what, you'd bet on muta-scourge these days.

I'm surprised people underestimate Koh Kang Min.
This far in the game's meta-game development I still wonder why it isn't SOP for players to have a unit pass-by once through all expansions in the map. (not an early scout but just have something pass by the map at least by midgame) Would have benefited Stork in the last game but other games from other players show they have wide swaths of map they never explore till very late.
Sigh is stork back to playing his phone games all day again??

i just dont see how hes playing predictably when he gets constantly 4/5 pooled or hydra all ined, its not like he has a lot of choices lol i guess we've all seen in stork pvz this season, with 1 base corsair, proxy gate or gating+core (no forge), i dont think many protoss's have done many other builds than forge expand like he did oh well i guess we all agree that his pvz is terrible atm
Well I knew Stats sucks vs Zerg but in PvP .. meh
Stats is in a bit of a slump. He's had a couple before and he bounced back stronger each time. Stats was too fundamentally good at everything to stay down for long.

Stork's 1 base PvZ looks stronger than his FFE. And it's so much more fun to watch. Bring that shit out Stork and show those zergs what's up!

Perhaps we should wait until his leukemia has gone into remission before speculating when he comes back.

Also after being so ill, and not playing for so long, its a question if we would ever see him back in form..
Checked the thread. Got spoiled(i know KT will win though) All i could only said was OMG, OMG, OMG! Hoejja!
Ugh, Stats is the only one from KT on my team on FantasyPL and he loses Well I have KT as a team so I am happy for that EDIT: I have Reality aswell on my FPL and ofcouse he was vs Flash and lost. FML

Stork, please stop letting your fans down.
WOOOO! KT!! HOEJJA! YES!! You're right, the Woongjin coach is doing wonders for the zerg heavy lineup that KT employs. Stork lost....it's 'cause of the contacts I swear!..
Happy KT won but sad Stork lost.
Stork lost to another Zerg? D:!

lol at jangbi and stork, it really seems like stork has to slump, so jangbi can show better results and the other way arround, really strange lol
Hoejja beat Stork? Either the new coach is working wonders - in which case - FUCK YEAH HOEJJA! At last, you're kicking ass and getting recognition! It's been a tough year, but finally some fan service! Or Stork is unclutch today. I'm leaning toward option #2 because Stork's play looked extremely tired today.
nicely done for hoejja and very happy for him,one of my favourites!
FUCK YEAH HoeJJA!! I almost can't believe it...
hmmm, smell new stork comics cooking!
khan has been really bad lately... Stork has been slumping since he lost to fantasy
Stork should get his glasses back. They were like...the source of his power. Hahaha.
Stork looks quite tired lately.

Aww come on. Stork is the only one of the tbls who can't coast on mechanics. When he doesn't try hard, he loses. :s
Apparently there's a lot of new people at the BW scene, Hoejja does have GOOD ZvP, it was the only good mu he had but was VERY good at it.
We all know PvZ is a very tough matchup to be consistent in unless you're Bisu, i don't find it even that big of an upset when it's this matchup.

Not so good, just decent.20-17 (54% win rate) is nothing exceptional.On destination on the other hand, he was fun as hell to watch, always had to mine out/glitch through that mins blocking backdoor ramp and do a ling runby :D

Yes, but his play was just terrible this season. Even in ZvP. TBH, he didn't look that great this time either. His 5 bases were running for quite some time and he had a nydus, while Stork had just got his 3rd up. He should have held that attack very comfortably. It looked like his macro was slipping quite a lot and he didn't have as many units as he could have.
My appologies for closing the stream early last night. I was running on almost 24 hours of no sleep and I was starting to microsleep pretty badly in the FlaSh vs Reality set (last thing I remember was seeing someone writting FlaSh rax first in the chat. I was looking at the game but I just couldn't focus on it at all). I couldn't stay awake anymore and I can't leave the stream running unattended without my ISP banging on my front door in anger (I slept for like 11 hours so leaving the stream up for hours broadcasting nothing after the games would not be good).

He let his opponent get away with a hidden base for a long time. He never realized it was there until he needed to build a 4th base and his DT walked in to find it.

How anyone could say hoejja looked bad this game is mind boggling. He held off Stork's 3 base army with mass zergling and then crushed him with ultras. Almost everything that game went his way except for losing that ninja expo. He completely snuffed out all of Stork's midgame prods and attempts to scout, too. From start to finish Hoejja played very well.
That storm drop drone split was awesome too. sees shuttle, sends drones away. as soon as the storm is cast, pulls back the 3 drones that are headed towards it, resulting in 0 drones killed.
tbh, that was the 1st time seeing stork attempt to storm a min line twice and did absolutely nothing. 2nd one was the shuttle that got caught by 4 hydras
man.. hoejja vs stork was a great game.. gg.

Have noticed that as well. A beautiful defense there. Well-played by HoeJJa. I'm really happy that he finally managed to get a win. Even if it is at the cost of Stork... The kid always looked so depressed.
It surprises me people only think Sotrk played bad, Koh Kang Min just played really well, he denied the probe scout twice, he deflected storks 3-base push with lings and with 5 gas running he was streaming ultra ling to storks expos, it was a fantastic game and highly recommended :D

I guess I should clarify. When I said "he didn't look great" I didn't mean it as an euphemism for "he played bad". He did well to catch those probes and had some good micro in the midgame sniping HTs. He certainly played better than in any other game I've seen this season. It's just that his multitasking was visibly weak, even though the game wasn't really tense at the point. I just don't think he's back yet. He can be an effective sniper but in general Roo, Barracks and Tempest are all better candidates for the last two spots.

Actually that was really bad from Strok. Can you imagine Bisu looses his probes? I cant
Reality doing well against Flash that's a good sign, JangBi winning is a better sign. Khan losing... horrible.
