Last has a starport almost complete FBH adding acadamy, and fact add on LOL Last cancels a depot, and starts a 2nd port misclick Nat up for Last now FBH adding starport aswell
Armory for FBH Both players have a wraith out FBH adding 2nd fact, ebay almsot complete Last researching cloak, and it finishes 3 wraiths harassing FBH's nat mineral line
firebathero has two wraiths in his base shooting down scvs. Sends in wraith but is defeated by cloak. FBH desperately trying to get a turret up for defense and does so at both main and nat.
Last adding 4 facts (5) FBH with 5? Total No wraith production from Last FBH pressing Last's tanks, marines forward to take shots Golaiths taking out the wraiths, only 2 goliaths left for FBH< he falls back
Incoming timing push from FBH. Last only has 2 tanks to defend. Both tanks for last go down hard but an additional tank shows up to push FBH back with the cloaked wraiths. FBH forced to retreat.
goliaths take down lasts's scanned wraiths and tanks move forwards to attack sieged tanks but firebathero's army is exhausted by further sieged tanks behind last's front line
both of firebathero's machine shops spinning...probably double vulture ups
FBH's starport is building and add on is researching Mines around FBH's forces, most get shot, a few detonate around te tanks and gols FBH has cleared out most of what was in the middle
Last on 6 facts 3 shops now FBH moving out with a few wraiths to pick off isolated tank but last responds with FAR more wraiths and now attack the tanks FBH brought into the area!
a VERY dangerous situation for FBH just 1 goliath there vs many wraiths and 2 valks
last just attacks the goliath with his wraiths and clears it out FBH desperately adding turrets to 4.5 but now he has few tanks as Last moves his ground army in
Last's 2 valks tear through the wraiths of FBH, tanks going down to pew pew pew One single goliath protecting tanks goes down Last pressing up the lane, towards 6 Vultures harassing 5, most of the force up towards the 3 expo Last double expanding to 9 and 11 +2 attack for FBH +1 for Last
FBH has a good air force again, valk aswell Vultures taking out 5 FBH's wraiths come out on top this time, tanks dying ti pew pew pew Goliaths force them back
yes yes yes I was waiting for this FBH scans fbh's tanks outside 4.5 nat and moves in with his wraiths but last quickly brings some goliaths and valks in and FBH has to back off FBH with a new CC done at center-NE (effectively his 4th)
vultures alone destroy the CC at 4.5 - FBH probably should have lifted
Vultures moving down from 11 to 9, scvs going down FBH's wraiths moving to pew pew pew some tanks to death Valks+gols dwindling the number down 5 oclock CC is down 7 facts 2 port for Last FBH presses the tank line
FBH inching south towards 4.5 another matrix but Last is on the ball and scans right away - so Last gets the first shot still, FBH's concentration of forces is slowly gaining ground
Bogus attacks Canata's ramp stream skip - looks like Bogus backs off Bogus's wraith in Canata's main, the latter adds academy but now Canata sending 2 wraiths into Bogus's main
bogus reinforcing with tanks at a relatively rapid rate canata finally has his 2nd machine shop up desperately holding but a wraith finishes off 2 damaged tanks!
Canata moving forward with his tanks an inch out of his nat, but still loses 4 tanks while only destroying 1 or 2 despite scanning earlier and repairing
Bogus's advantage is tremendous and adding 2 more factories (5) he has his 3rd solidly turreted and has tanks/turrets holding what would be canata's 3rd
canata with 3 cloaked wraiths trying to break bogus's valk but 1 lost as they flee after bogus scans
kal hides his probe behind a bush outside piano's nat and sneaks it in after piano sends his units forwards piano taking his nat, his 1 machine shop spinning - kal sees it all
piano adding 2nd factory 4 vultures raid kal's nat - kal pulls probes to block the entrance to his main but the archives are spotted now the vultures deal a tremendous amount of damage with mines and frag grenades

Horrible defence against FD Went for DT drop and did nothing with them Let vultures rape probes Die needlessly to mines Nat twice denied
seriously? he couldn't handle a FD?? O_o what about his goons? i remember seeing a bunch of rines killing off kal's nexus but kal couldn't take care of that? and thanks for the info! thank you zona as well!

it wasn't even an FD - there was no tank in the first attack lol just vultures with mines
shuttle walking goons into mines iris moves his tanks to shuttle's bridges and sieges up shuttle picks off a few frontal tanks but loses a lot of goons!
shuttle attacking towards iris's forces outside 9 shuttle's superior army cleans it out easily 3 vultures head to his nat but 2 fall and the last backs off iris now on 5 factories another reaver ready by shuttle's robo but no shuttle? iris bringing 5 tank mass vulture to 11, shuttle has to back off
iris with +1 vehicle weapons places 3 tanks on the cliff and brings 1 tank forwards to hit goons outside shuttle's nat but shuttle drops a reaver by the 3 tanks and clears them out
vultures almost break the pylon wall to 9 but 2 more pylons placed behind
shuttle attacking towards iris's 3rd - iris doesn't have many units!
reaver dropped but explodes immediately but iris doesn't have enough units!
5 goons vs 1 tank but mines cut down the goons down to 1 epic 1 vulture vs 1 goon duel! new tank clears out the goon and iris floats his CC towards 1 again
iris now will probably turtle though 5 facts and needs to replenish his army but no, he sends a bunch of vultures out to raid they run into goons, expend some mines and back off
shuttle clearing the long line of mines left around the map but iris's vultures 3 vultures see probes being transferred! but shuttle's army is nearby and stops things
shuttle taking a 4th at 7.5
first vessel out
shuttle attacking towards iris's megachoke with a decent sized force iris's defenses are thing, scvs pulled! but zealots evaporate and iris still has some tanks, he holds!
shuttle decides to commit to an attack! iris's shape is pretty good but a clump of 7 tank/vulture is frozen! still shuttle's army too small! it has to run away with 3 arbiters trailing
iris immediately unsieges the 3 unfrozen tanks he has to head towards shuttle's 3rd while vultures lay mines outside shuttle's main bridges
those mines pay off immediately as shuttle runs a few ogons into them iris now positioning his thawed units to face shuttle's new goons, forcing them back into their nat
shit shuttle will soon have no mining bases at all while iris has 3 and 4.5 and probably some at 1 too shuttle attacking with a small army towards 3, iris's defenses won't hold! so iris will lose that base at least

He couldn't break Iris's mining base at 1 (Iris also had another mining base at 4.5, no idea if he knew about it or not) and Shuttle had no mining of his own
e: ah before your edit thought you were referring to shuttle
That was one of the best recent games I've seen scrappy not some pseudo-"NR 15" as both players macro up behind 3+ bases before any conflict takes place

agreed
and TBH if you think like a protoss it's not a ninja expo at all it's just that shuttle expected Iris to expand like a terran even though Iris was aware that shuttle kept patrolling 12
Iris's instincts were so good at that game always bringing units where they were needed most and lots of little touches to accumulate lots of small advantages

so true, perfect decision-making all game there. His focus firing of nexuses brought a tear to my eye
e: to elaborate: M18M/innocent on an 8 game losing streak Rock being turned into a "playing coach" well, Much, maybe - but he'd probably be no match for Bogus either
stream skips ahead to fbh's vulture in kal's main - I think I hear commentators saying 3 kills? probe bumps into the rax and a tank behind at FBH's choke
Lol I arrive 3 hours after it starts and I'm surprised that it's still running. I just thought : damn if SKT was playing I would have said that Canata got a TvT. Then I opened the results and it reminded me that Canata had been transferred to ACE....
funny how both players were the first loss for the team who will make it as the savior of the day and who shall be accused of the loss drama in the making
Rofl! STX coach why send Kal now man?....Shouldnt be surprised!
GG ace...I always fail in LB with ace...its not even funny anymore...well this is week I bet they win = L...well theres no way they're going to win this match = they WIN after being down 0-3...I was happy that I was going to finally get one right but nooo
OMG, I stopped watching after the quick 0-3 in anger and frustration >< And I missed a reverse, with FBFH in ace obviously. Now let's go harass moktira xD

Haha I thought about doing something productive after the 0:3 but then I wanted to watch ACE go down with flying colours and they reversed all kiilled ... such an awesome day to be a ACE fan.

You know, sometimes I think that ACE is much more deserving of a spot in the playoffs then most teams, perhaps not Woongjin but recently ACE simply has been doing so well and they have a interesting depth in their team. They don't have OWMYGODAWESOMESAUCE S players like TBLS or even ''semi- S'' like Fantasy, but their overal roster is not bad, not bad at all.

Imagine where ace could be without two rounds of winners league. Ace in playoff would make me so happy
So I watched the VODs and noticed that the old ACE manager was in the audience. He always got so glad when his players won and was the first guy to console after a loss. I guess he finished his service but it makes me wonder how he became the team manager. Was he a progamer before?
