Convincing game by ZerO.
Nice to see the contaminate on Orion's evo to give himself a bigger timing window for his push.
|
Orion can't hold and GGs.
ZerO playing quite well with earlier upgrades, expansions, and Infestors, allowing him to win the big decisive engagement at max and smash his way into Orion's nat.

At first I thought it was the infestation pit
More zergs really need to use contaminate considering Zerg rarely has anti air to deflect overseers.
|
without killing orions eco, how can zero have earlier expansions, tech lead AND more infestors?

The Contaminate energy nerf kinda killed off use of that spell, but in exchange for cheaper Overseer cost.
I still have fond memories of Zenio destroying Idra with mass Contaminate back during the GSL Open Seasons. That was a fun series.

Orion himself never really did any good pressure during the entire game, so ZerO was able to tech and expand without fear of attack, which snowballed into an advantage when the max vs max engagement actually happened.

Stars basically have to win 1 out of 3 ... Impossible for ACE if you ask me.
|
Immortal being built from Shy. Guemchi puts down an earlier Robo Bay.
|
Guemchi moving out. Unwise, as he gets caught by Shy's army and loses a few units.
Second robo coming up for Shy, with Support Bay also going up. Colossus up earlier from G-chizzle.
|
Shy attempting a 2-immortal Prism drop. Picks off a few Probes and units at the cost of some Zealots before flying out with both Immortals intact.
Engagement in the middle of the map. Guemchi loses his army and has to retreat with his 2 surviving Colossi.
Nice Immortal drop/flank from Shy picks off Colossi as his army pushes to Guemchi's nat.

Guemchi GGs.

Special thanks to oOOoOphidian and Sayle for their streams tonight.
oOOoOphidian is hard to type.

I've updated the name of the players in the OP (Light vs Iris and Flying vs Great)

I wish Ace put up a better fight tonight, but Stars is definitely one of the top teams this season so it would've been an uphill battle anyways. Soulkey still seemed scary ever since rumors of his GM account surfaced. Shy was the only player to win one of the KeSPA vs GSL cross-matches against Ace. ZerO and Light are also no pushovers in SC2.

Next match will be vs team 8 I think. That will be so important, they're going to lose it.

According to the Liquipedia page, Ace is playing Khan and Woongjin is playing STX next on the 11th, and Team 8 doesn't play until the 12th, which is against SKT1.

Ah it was played two days ago silly me

This match was sad to watch, was summarised pretty well by the one girl in the crowd doing the fighting chant for ace in the most timid voice ever.
Ace are never the favourites or anything but they just kinda rolled over and died today. I guess knowing there isn't exactly a future for them after this season would weigh on you a bit.
