Well, Larva managed to kill some probes and sniped the outstanding pylon and forge in Pman's nat while droning up. But this is where the problems start for him. Perfectman being super annoying with his drone, doesn't let Larva place a hatch in his nat. First zealot out of the 2gate is out.
Well, it looks like Perfectman just wanted to reestablish control of his nat with those zealots and expand. Three lings sneak into his main and snipe a probe somehow, lol. Larva now up to three hatcheries, just 1 drone on gas and is streaming lings upstate, however Perfectman is well prepared to defend his newly established outpost.
Ling speed done, zerglings just running around but not causing too much damage, if any. Three lings sneak into the main again, but there's still that cannon there, so thewy can't really do anything. Larva's lair is done and he is plopping down a fgourth hatchery. Meanwhile, Pman has erected a stargate. He has a decent amount of zealots, but he's not really into a position where he can pressure the zerg. Spire coming up, +1 air getting researched for the toss. He's also cannoning up his front.
First corsair out, heading out on a scouting mission. Oh, double stargate and citadel! Sair kills an ovie. Mutas pop for Larva, trying to chase down the sair, but Pman should be ready for this. Up to 4 sairs right now, and has cannons. Scourge snipe one of the sairs! Hydra den finished for our zerg player, and he's up to SIX hatches now, that's just nasty. Pman needs storm asap.
Corsairs catch some mutas out on the map and kill them. Archives done now for our toss hero, but hydras have already started coming out. Three? ovies sniped, that ought to stall the zerg a bit.
And perfectman starts moving out with his zealot task force, but it doesn't look like he has enough. He realises that and pulls them back. Meanwhile, the sairs are sniping more overlords. First templars are out, just in time for the zerg's attack. A storm goes down, but it doesn''t look like it's going to be enough to stop the hydra army. Templar streaming out in the hydras lol. A single DT trying to snipe the defenceless hatch, lol. Perfectman holds, but the zerg keeps reinforcing.
Huh, the toss is up to 8 gates off of 2 bases now, but he keeps pumping sairs ?_? How can he afford that lol. Oh, I see, Larva has mutas out, so that's why. All the mutas are dead, but not before they kill some templars and waste a storm. Lurkers are now out on the field, a decent storm kills some hydras in front of Larva's nat. Perfectman is out of units tho. Zerg doesn't have that much either, but still. Sairs keep sniping overlords. Robo for Pman, needs obs to fight the lurkers. Larva morphing lurkers in front of the zealot stream, so they get blocked in the toss' nat, nice touch.
Well, Perfectman holds yet again, but his main is running out of minerals, and so is his nat. Wait, Larva manages to finally break through the defence with 2 hydras and 2 lurkers. Perfectman GGs, since he's no longer able to keep his natural
Overpool this time, safe opening. Pman's pylon placement seems a bit dodgy due to the 16 : 9 ratio of the broadcast. Perfectman goes nexus first, and then plops down a forge!

So Larva expanded to his mineral only first, no muta shenanigans this game I guess. Perfectman scouts everything, and has now completed his wall, so he's safe. Only 1 cannon tho, but whatever. Three lings manage to run by just like that, haha.
Drones eat a scouting probe. The lings in Pman's main kill a probe. They now see the stargate, but there's a zealot that chases them out, they won't be able to do any more damage.
Nevermind that, lings snipe ANOTHER two probes. Man, this is so annoying when it happens. First sair out for Pman now, but he had someohow managed to sneak a probe in that saw the spire timing and now den. Larva plops down another two hatcheries after the probe dies. Two sairs for Pman, he's moving out with some zealots and a goon. Lings snipe the goon lol. Larva manages to snipe some sairs with scourge. Den + evo down, but a couple of zealots kill some drones.
Perfectman taking his mineral only. So far, so good. Larva finally taking his second gas, he now needs it for hydra production. Larva taking a fourth now, but a zealot spots the attempt at least. Perfectman going for reavers!
Hydras trying to bust down the single cannon at the front, but there are two reavers there, fat chance. Sair/reaver force is out, nearing Larva's base now!
Unsuccessful attempt to snipe the shuttle. Larva burrows everything, so reavers are limited to shelling the hachery now. Holy crap, that was 5-6 free overlords right there. Larva is now out of ovies, and there are DTs in his main!
More reavers, this time with solid zealot backup. Fuck, scourge snipe the shuttle again, but he can take out the zerg's fourth at least. Larva GGs? LOL Score 1-1.
He's just explaining the new map wind and cloud. saying how the bases are on the sides which allows for easily defendable expansions in additions to ridges all along the middle of the map allowing for dynamic battles through the game. just a really rough translation XD he also said he wasnt able to go to offline this time and hes just at home right now but he has plans to go to offline

Thanks, that's really helpful. It's a new map for me ^^

DAM excited for new map wind and cloud :D for those who don't know this map has been editted 3 times with the map maker and the players finding the bugs and flaws of the map!
Larva taking his third, has some lings sent there to safeguard vs zealots, but Perfectman has opted for the safety play and keeps his zealots at home. Core going down for him.

Oh, a DT sneaks out on the map, but it's not going to be overly effective, Larva has ovies and sunks at his bases. No wait, the overlord at his nat is out of place, DT kills 3 drones. Mutas out, DT in the zerg's main killing drones everywhere.
Some harass attempt with the mutas, but Perfectman is perfectly safe. Up to 6 gates now, he's going to really mass up in a bit. Larva taking his fourth in the meantime, but Pman is moving out. Maelstrom on the mutas and they all die! Brace yourselves, the timing is coming.
Larva actually holds, but he's going to lose a hatchery there, that always sucks. Perfectman setting up for taking a third, placed two cannons and a nexus. Zerg tries to stop it with a ling attack, but the toss was ready with his reinforcements there.
Pman sniped the hatch and is now pulling back. He's setting up for a fourth already! Some lings stream in his third and kill both cannons, but protoss units arrive and save the nexus. Shuttle inching forward for a storm drop, cleaning out all the drones at larva's 3rd and 4th. In the meantime a small skirmish happened in front of Pman's third but he repelled the attack with the help of Maelstrom. Hive going down.
Shuttle dies to scourge. Sunk/lurk wall is too much for Perfectman to bust right now. Larva tries to kill off the 4th of Pman, but is unsuccessful. The toss elevatoring his army in the zerg's fourth! there's literally nothing to defend with there, two hatcheries and an evo going down. Some lurkers arrive, and since the zerg sniped the obs with scourge they will be able to kill the toss army, but not before it's too late.
Maelstrom + storm on the zerg army, everything dies. Meanwhile there's a huge cannon wall at the toss' 4th that holds off the counter easily. ROFL, some lurkers sneak into Pman's third and kill every probe there. However, that's too little too late, as Larva is now losing his natural. Reavers out of the toss now as well. Another strom drop on the zerg's third, looks like he's lost quite a lot of drones.
Looks like Larva managed to save his natural, but Perfectman is up to five bases now... Larva can't really do anything to his army or bases now... A shuttle inching towards the zerg's fourth, two zealots + two templar kill some drones. Shuttle gets sniped before it can relocate to the zerg's third, however.
Maelstrom on just some overlords, as wel as storm, show just how much Perfectman is ahead right now. Larva attacks Pman's nat, but he's easily repelled without doing too much damage.
wow but im thinking the map maker's words are pretty accurate.. easily defendable base into mid to late game econ heavy battle if only larva didnt get his drones genocided..
Toss has +3 weapon/+1 armour now. What does zerg have? Attack with swarm on the toss' 4th, but reaver/archon doesn't care. HUGE storm drop on larva's 4th, cleans out drones again. Larva GGs. 2-1 for Perfectman
Well done by pman, though Larva gave him a big head start in letting the initial dt kill several drones in the nat+main when it should've done nothing.
Probe is finally dead, but it saw everything. Larva placing fourth and fifth hatches down, still on one gas. First sair is out and is going to kill an ovie for free. Larva placing down his sixth hatch at 11 o'clock! Greedy!
Six zealots moving out to the zerg's nat, but his defence is adequate. Meanwhile a bunch of lings counterattack and are able to kill a cannon in the wall, but the toss was prepared with another one which did the job together with some probes.
More lings streaming into Pman's nat but there's an archon there now. Seems like this game is in a stalemate for now. Lots of scourge flying around the middle of the map. Larva is droning up heavily o_O
Perfectman trading some sairs for some overlords. Setting up third with cannons now. He has a ton of speedlots and a couple of archons, but it's going to be quite hard to live with just that pretty soon. Larva up to 8 hatches on 4base now. Perfectman attempts an elevator in the zerg's fourth, but the shuttle gets sniped by scourge again.
Lings sniping HTs just like that. Hive is done. Perfectman is finally able to set up his fourth. A lone ling runs into the toss' main lol. Robo support bay up for Pman again.
A huge hydralurk army moving out towards the toss' fourth. Catches the maynard and kills a ton of probes wow... Looks like Pman's fourth is going to go down. This isn't the larva that played in the previous two games wtf.
Larva setting up a fifth base at 3 o'clock. He's just outmuscling Perfectman right now, kills all his remaining units with a throng of hydralurk. Perfectman GGs. 2-2 and the last game will be on Lurker Contain Ridge TT_TT Lol post #4444

Lings catch the forward dragoon, it just walk away. DTs going out, but there are hydras out now for Larva, doesn't look like they will do any damage. Nevermind, one DT manages to sneak into the main, forcing the drones to evacuate. Kills 4 of them regardless, going to try and snipe the pool now. Perfectman looks like he wants to take his nat now. Overlord arrives in the zerg's main and saves the pool, DT is dead! Two cannons in Pman's nat, no nexus yet. Five zealots moving out.

T_T
why did you do this PMAN ?!?!?!... (
Not yet, he has tech, and he has finally expanded. If the zerg doesn't bust him right now, he looks to be in an ok position. Hydras snipe a cannon, but are forced to run away. Pman bleeding zealot, but he has storm now at his barricade. Larva taking a third a 3 o'clock. Lair morphing.
Oh wow... Larva going up to six hatches on 3 base again, BUT, Perfectman has the technology to deal with this right now. Six lurkers morphing in front of the zerg's nat. Can you say contain?
But Pman's robo is already done, he's going to have observers very very soon it looks like. He knows what's up. Meanwhile, zerg is massing up with hydras, lings and lurkers.
Beautiful maelstrom on the hydras, and Perfectman is able to break throught the 12 o'clock expo! Larva tries to sandwich him with some hydras and lurkers, but maelstrom and storm make short work of them. The zerg's reinforcements however, are relentless, looks like Perfectman can't quite keep up on macro.

Overpool for Cola, meanwhile Pusan has erected a pylon in his nat. Looks bog standard so far. Nexus-forge for Pusan. Cola has placed a hatchery in his ant, but his first overlord went the wrong way, so maybe Pusan is safe for now. Just two lings out, cannon 1/2 warped in already. Two additional lings, but Pusan is good to go now. Gate going down for him as well. Cola placed his third at 12 o'clockish.
Pusan adding an additional gate as well as some unknown building that they didn't show us. Three zealots moving out to harass Cola's third. This is weird, he's still droning up, hydras bust isn't quite ready to go yet, although there are hydras now. Oh, actually Pusan's core was late. Citadel going down as well, he's going to try and get storm, but qwill it be in time? His zealot harass is certainly doing wonders in stalling the bust.
Hydras moving up the map now, Cola is ready. No drones at his third tho lol. Forge spinning, Pusan up to 5 cannons now. Hydras snipe two, pusan sends some zealots and Cola's third! Places down three more cannons but the forge is down. Gateway going down as well, Pusan Can't do much. Hydras finally move forward, but the extra cannons jsut warp in in time. Pusan stalling reinforcements with his zealots that he sent out. Cola morphing lair, forced to pull back. Meanwhile Pusan has put down the archives as well as some additional gateways. Cola now has about two control groups of hydras, but he's in a defencive position.
Pusan snipes Cola's third! Loses all zealots, but the damage is done. Meanwhile two zealots snuck in the zerg's main and kill drones lol. Interrupted mining there for some time as well. First templars are out, both high and dark. The DT doesn't make it out tho, Cola has an overlord in front of the toss' nat. Cola tries to break the cannon line, all but one cannons are dead! But Pusan has storm now and he holds! Cola GGs and Pusan takes the lead 1-0!

Probably because it's imported all the way from Korea to Bulgaria, lol.
Anyway, back to the games. First sair out for Pusan, he just added archives and another gate. Meanwhile, Cola is adding his 4th and 5th hatch, still on one gas. Pusan setting up his mineral only already. Cola adds his 2nd gas now. Spire done.
Observatory almost done for Pusan. He scouted 9 o'clock with a DT but was forced to move away by some hydras and an overlord. First lurkers out for Cola now, but Pusan is ready with a lot of dragoons.
Pusan saves some of the generators at his backdoor. Cola attempts to drop Pusan's nat through some sairs and cannons and fails. Looks like he managed to sneak a lurker in Pusan's min only, but that didn't kill probes, just disrupted mining for a bit before it got taken out. Pusan is now setting up his fourth base at 12 o'clock.
Pusan attacks 9 o'clock. Storms everywhere, killing off a lot of zerg's forces, but Cola sends in reinforcements after Pusan is out of storms and manages to beat back the attack. Pusan assembling a new assault force in the middle of the map. He lost all of his observers to scourge tho. A lot of zealots streaming through the middle of the map now o_O
Cola taking the mineral only at 4 o'clock! Meanwhile pusan is wandering around the map. Hive is up, complete with triple evo chamber. Pusan attacking 9 o'clock again, this time he's able to break through the defence!
Cola streaming in reinforcements in an attempt to save the hatchery, but more speedlots arrive. Cola tries to evacuate the drones, but they all die. Cola GGs, Pusan is currently leading 2-0!
Cola just running around with some lings, slowing Pusan down. And his hatch is up. Pusan chose to run into Cola's main with his initial zealots, but those will die, too many lings. And he pulled back his other zealots Sunken up in zerg's nat as well. Pusan setting up his own expo now.
Third hatchery + gas for cola. Meanwhile pusan has his core finished and is also mining gas. Some lings posturing in front of Pusan's nat, but nowhere nearly enough to break through the zealot wall. A cannon going down, as well as stargate. Forge not spinning.
Cola adding fifth hatch, spire done. No hydras in sight yet, Pusan has moved out on the map with his zealots. Citadel is done, but no archives, and the forge is spinning now.
Pusan moves out with his zealots, and cola tries to intercept with his lings. Although the zealots didn't have +1, they obliteraed the ling forces with almost no losses. And now Pusan just walks in Cola's nat. Mutas pop just in time to deflect the attack!
Pusan is trying to set up his third at 6 o'clock but a smattering of lings walk in and deny it. Two DTs trying to harass 12 o'clock, but Coiila's defence is solid. An archon out on the map, trying to fry some mutas. Cola has an abnormal amount of scourge, while Pusan has no sairs at all.

Oh, actually he has 3 sairs, hiding in his nat. Pusan tries to take 6 o'clock again, and it looks like he's going to be successful this time around. Cola has switched to hydra production, but he has no upgrades at all. Mutas coming in at 6 but sair/archon repels them, even tho Cola brought a ton of scourge.
Pusan now has +1 air/+2 ground weapons and a ton of zealots streaming in at 12 o'clock. There are some hydras there however, and pusan is forced to pull back. His sairs getting caught by hydras o_o
Pusan has obs now, but there are no lurkers, he needs storm badly, there are a lot of units for our zerg friend here. But as long as the toss manages to hold out, he's in a decent position. Evo chamber finaly down for Cola lol.
Another skirmish in Pusan's quarter of the map, so far he's able to beat back the zerg's advances, and he actually has templars out. However, Cola is able to maintain a decent amount of mutas, so getting the templars in position is a pretty risky endeavour.
Pusan has +3 ground now. He's also looking to set up a fourth base at 4 o'clock. Cola's forces look overwhelming, he's moving to attack 6 o'clock. Pusan storms Cola's mutas as they try to snipe templars. Trade was about even, toss still has at least a couple of storms left in him, and he has A LOT of goons out now.
amazing games today, really impressed with pusan's play (and his sexy mbc hero jacket). larva also such a monster and so likeable<3 hope to see him in the finals
