Peace's lings are rushing out towards Hoejja Hoejja has no pool up yet? Wait he does... BUFFER Into Peace having a concave around the main to nat area LING BATTLE Sunken is morphing in the main for Peace Black screen... The sunken LIVES
Peace attacking the spawning pool of Hoejja with his mutas Hoejja just all in lings? Peace has a concave, as well as a force of lings out on the field for a flank Pool is at 1/2 health Peace's concave is holding Peace sends his outer ling force to attack the nat of Hoejja Hoejja's spawning pool is still up but his nat is going down BUFFERUUU
The spawning pool gets taken out Hoejja's nat hatchery is focused down OL's getting taken out by Peace's mutas Peace's lings are engaging Hoejjas Buffer INTO GG
Wow, tough crowd. A ZvZ that features stolen gas->9 pool speed vs 12 hatch and not worth watching?
If anything, the game is a pretty good educational video of how speedlings vs slow-lings work. Pretty interesting for someone who never really played zerg(ala me).
Buffer forward Academy for Flash His nat is saturated 1 fact under construction for FBH(2) Flash has a starport under construction and 1 fact with an add on FBH's nat is just started Armory for FBH? Still under construction FBH taking out his temple
Flash is relentless those marines are going to get that rax if its the last time they do FBH 2 fact 2 add on, armory up 2nd fact for Flash getting add on Dropship out for Flash
2 dropships dropped on fbh's high ground, main scvs pulled to attack unsieged, picked up, dropped at the nat to net a few kills picked up, heading home now
Two tanks get dropped behind where the temple would be, scvs force the unseige and load up Tanks get landed onto the mineral line on the low ground and they net a few kills, Flash flys them out of there Tank line getting set up at the 6 oclock area 4 facts for FBH, 5 for Flash FBH moving around the middle of the map, his tank goliath force Flash seiges a few tanks to push them back
Flash now on 5 fact, 3 shop, researching double vulture upgrades one wraith out shooting FBH's floating rax one scv sent north from the center spots fbh's units hanging out there
Flash has a wraith out, taking shots at FBH's rax Flash has a tank group around the 9 area, trying to kill off FBH's force at the center FBH expanding to 3 oclock, and denys Flash the expo at 9 for a few moments
Flash now moving forwards with a few vultures to tank shots for his advancing siege tanks, clears FBH's forces in the center, FBH sieges tanks to the right of the center, Flash moves in
Flash is pushing both sides At 6, FBH lost his tanks Towards 3, Flash is seiged up Flash maynarding scvs to his 3rd, FBH has nothing going yet I don't think No, FBH forced to pull scvs to try and fight off Flash
Games I that I think would be interesting to watch : Stats vs. Ggaemo, Action vs. Iris (damn Ruby no longer on the line-up, it'd be a sick game between those two), CH vs Piano.

Mmm I completely agree. But what we'll probably get is Ggaemo vs Action, Piano vs Barracks, and Stats vs M18M.
Spire is planted Piano has a scv in CH's main and sees this It gets down to the nat to see all Another 2 or 3 rax get thrown down couldn't tell First fact as well CH expo at 7 3 rax, 4 total
Spire is complete, mutas in the 9 eggs Hydra den morphing MnM group chilling outside the nat Turrets will be up +1 attack is complete for the Marines Tearing through the mutas, CH trying to pick off the medics
but mutaling ducks bck around and rushes piano's main ramp and head in piano electing to counter with his mnm? so far away from ch's main but the attack on his main is stopped without much trouble more mutas picking off marines
Mutaling trying to break Piano's main Piano's main MnM force trying to get back in Most lings are dead Piano does not bring them back, instead is pushing out towards CH Mutas taking shots at the MnM Buying time for lurkers which are morphing
CH loses 3 or 4 mutas to MnM One lurker on the top of the ramp No scan Finally a scan Marines take it out MnM take out 2 lurkers at the 7 expo Marines pressing the nat of CH Hatchery is oging down at the 7 Two lurkers get taken out at the nat choke Sunken there is still up Piano forced back by fresh lurkers Vessel tech up
Hive is complete for CH Defiler mound is too CC inbase for the mineral only Biomech force trying to get around 12, Tanks IMBA... I mean beat lurkers scourge scourge the first vessel Defiler out, consume finished CH runs out for a few seconds and 3 lurkers get killed| RAX LIFT Mech switch!

MY BAD GUYS I'm trying to eat and type D= I'm a toss thats my excuse
Canata, the very soul of Starcraft, the workhorse, the perserver! His workers reflect his disciplined mindset by diligently gathering minerals for their leader!
In the Slayers house, Boxer is smiling right now Action scouting with a drone about for cheese? OL is going to spot the main First vulture is out! FOUR LINGS KILL THE VULTURE Boxer is now laughing
Factory blocking the choke Vulture is stuck aswell LOL Canata Lulz Hydra goes down, but theres another Fact lift Lands to let 4 lings in Fantasy vs somebody this reminds me of Microing one vultures vs lings
Mutalisks are out Three of them Turrets are no where near completion SCV gets picked off, but the turret comes up regardless MnM force taking shots at the mutas Canata is pushing out with his MnM? o.o
Muta's are in the main, taking out a ton of scvs MnM force 3 more creep colonys to be morphed Mutas take out the turrets around the rax All the rax are going down MY MCDONALDS IS HERE <3 Uhm... Marines are coming back in to get killed off by the mutas Action should just all in drones now Everything is on fire! Did he lose a single mutalisk? Thats a first
The rax are going to burn down! Or not, and Canata builds a bunker at his nat 3 rax under construction, as well as the 2 on fire Lings are at the nat choke
Wait what?! No drones for Action Lings pick off a turret REPAIR IMBA... I mean Terran imba? No no repair is awesome vs zerg? Sure LOL Starport is going up for Canata I don't think Action has more than 10 drones
Action was playing Sunken Defense with like 7 total drones mining minerals Canata was playing Turret Defense while being super hesitant about whether to push out

After perfectly defending the failed cheese, Action kept pumping mutalisks and nothing else. Canata just built a lot of turrets and barracks and sunken bust Action.
What a crazy game! I thought Canata had made a fatal mistake when he originally pushed out leaving his Rax at the mercy of the Mutas. Nice use of the Fact to cover his turrets.
That game's gonna reside in Action's memory for a while I'd say....

yeah you're right - I tried to make the theme work but I failed
Canata did things correctly
Action on the other hand was putting out a KT zerg performance, why the hell would he not ever make any drones despite canata being completely defensive?
Probe almost kills a drone Zealot in the main No forge,no cannons for Stats GGaemo looking to expo to 1 Zealot at the nat killed 2 lings The on in the main killed a drone I think

Stats attempts a storm drop, but GGaemo pulls drones preemptively Reaver is out, I think its stuck behind the pylon Another drop is getting loaded up? Stats trying to take 5 oclock now Shuttle drops two reavers GGaemo choses not to drop the main COW DENN

Yeah, why so many SKT tags all of a sudden? KT losing this wouldn't bother me as much as these guys showing up. Oh well at least Flash won dominatingly.

As the feelgood story of this year's PL I think it's a shame they won't be involved in the playoffs. Tonight's performance is just further proof that they're capable of competing against anybody.

Definitely not the expected result, but always cool to see ACE winning games, especially against strong teams.

Yeah I throw criticism towards Canata but in reality I feel quite bad for Canata since it seems like he works so hard. I hope being on ACE helps him see some better days.

See what I mean? Jeez.
Also, Action might need to be sold.
Action is a victim of a notorious zerg curse called the "KT Purchase".
^ this. It happens 100% without fail and would have been disproven but CH decided to choke tonight.
And I know that the KT vs SKT rivalry is the longest in the SCBW scene but lately it's been getting ridiculous. Let's all be friends as we still support the greatest broadcasting game ever created.
Not really, Action had potential because of his fantastic hive tech play but he was never actually good.
The only two people who actually suffered from the "curse" was really Forgg and Luxury, and one of them seemed to like throwing games for money so who knows when he was and wasn't playing properly.

boxer etc was ACE as well
Boxer started ACE didn't he?
Yup.
Kinda feel sorry for KT, but i love to see ACE winning in that fasion tho ^^ ( 1 : 4 ).
On June 05 2011 15:44 nodule wrote: This sucks, but all are forgivable losses except Action against Canata. That is not forgivable.
Stat's loss was quite unforgivable. His opening advantage was quite clear. His sairs killed quite a few ovies. He had the protoss death ball(mid-game version) and killed a bunch of hydras early on. And there were no mutas picking off templars. He literally had that game in hand.
But for some absurd reason, he neither quickly got his 3rd up, nor did he try to macro off of two bases to beat down the zerg front door. Instead his tiny death ball got owned by like three lurkers and a bunch of hydra/lings while trying to get like reavers or something off of two bases. Put any decent PvZer in Stat's position and it should be zerg slaughter.
T_T KTFlash all over again. I would have been almost not unhappy if Iris or FBH had contributed to ACE's victory but nope KT loses to the likes of Peace and Piano...
It's understandable, in order to make Flash 3:0 Hydra in the MSL, KT overused their infamous "consume" machine, and the effect is obvious in today's match.
What the hell has happened here :O I guess we are back to good old KTFlash... From reading the comments it seems that both Stats and Action shouldn't have lost their games. I guess I will have to wait for vods to see what happened in those games.
LOL cant hate on canata for cheesing. That map is a terran graveyard vs zerg. I was shocked that action went hydras instead of muta. If action had gone for muta first we could all agree he would've been screwed by that proxy fact. Plus you cant really blame action for not droning up. He had an opportunity window to win but failed to take advantage of it. Game of 2011 LOL so many ups and down.
LOL the build canata used was the same build (or almost the same) build that fantasy used to kill flash last year in PL.
I wasn't sure where to ask this, so I guess I will ask it here: When does FBH get released from ACE and has he said anything about which team(s) he would be interested in joining after his release?

he joined ace late last year and he will go back to KHAN when hes done.

Actually, he was released by KHAN before he even applied to enter the military. January also hasn't really been too forward in saying she would like to have him back. He could go to any team.
Progamers in ACE still have contracts with their original teams, if I recall correctly. And why wouldn't January want him back? FBH is outperforming all of her players currently; he'd also be a good mentor to budding young terrans Reality and Turn too. With his newfound discipline, I figure he'd make a good captain once he gets back to KHAN.
