Yay, I'll try not to miss this thing this time ^^ Gogo Hwaseungites! Looking at the map pool, Killer has an interesting journey in front of him if he wants to win.

really don't know who to cheer for in Killer vs Pusan, they're both so awesome.
I've got the other problem.
SKT1 Larva vs cheesy toss! Dang...
I'll take cheesy toss. Didn't really like Larva's ego in Ro16 when he angrily almost left the studio after getting 5pooled first game. Then again rage quitting when he 5pooled himself, but his lings got stuck on Electric Circuit.

Haha larva is a bit hot headed but he is still pretty young and in that teenage mood swing-y phase. I watch his stream pretty often and I find my self feeling bad for him on a lot of occasions.. XD
I'll be streaming English commentary @ http://www.twitch.tv/kimdraculap if anyone's interested. I can't make a thread or apply to have my stream listed on TL yet since I only made this account yesterday but people can tune in if they desire
Experience: Been a massive BW fan for a long time. Not the best player myself but I have followed it ever since the days when [ReD]NaDa was 15 and dominating. The first pro replay I ever saw was BoxeR vs. ZodiaC (brown vs. orange TvT) on Lost Temple and ever since that day I've been in love with how intense and strategic this game remains. A little bit biased towards Protoss and I completely despise Larva, but I have a huge level of respect for great Zerg play so I'll try to keep the casting unbiased.
Hopefully I entertain a few people and I'm looking forward to giving this casting thing a try :D
Oh crap I missed the opening! TT_TT Lol the juicegirl is playing on her phone. Wait, isn't that an actual stargirl they've got there? o_O Sky goes for the nexus before forge. Larva has done an overpool? I missed the start.

Larva has 8 lings out in front of Sky's nat, but there are 2 zealots and a cannon, so he can't do anything. Forge spinning, citadel is up and Sky is adding 2 more gateways. He somehow manages to sneak a probe in Larva's main and sees spire timing. Four zealots walking out on the map towards Larva's third. Doesn't look like any mutas are coming tho? Double stargate going down for Sky, as well as a cannon in his main mineral line.
Well, there are actually mutalisks on the map, the muta-ling force kills some zealots. There are sunkens everywhere as well, so Sky is unable to put out any pressure at this point of time. Mutas killing off a couple of prbes at Sky's nat, but sairs will be out soon. Meanwhile, four zealots just poke at Larva's third and retreat.
Actually, nevermind that, as Larva tries to fool around in Sky's main with mutas, Sky moves out his sairs and starts killing overlords. The zerg retaliates by killing probes in the protoss' natural. Stargirl trying to figure out the juice cap
Well, it appears that he has a sizeable hydralisk force and is able to push the zealots back. Meanwhile, sairs trying to snipe more overlords. Sky is opting to go for a third, but the probe gets delayed by some speedlings. A dt is out on the map! Ahh, zerglings almost manage to snipe a high templar, that would've been a huge win for Larva. Larva now has lurkers and is using them to stage an incursion at Sky's upcoming third base.
A decent storm on a clump of hydras, but there are still lurkers there so the nexus is unable to go up. Larva is morphing more lurkers, while simultaneously moving out with a huge hydra-ling-lurk force through the middle of the map. Sky is once again forced into his base, but Larva isn't getting a fourth just yet!
Huge engagement at just the right time prevent the morphing lurkers in front of the protoss' natural to finish and it looks like he finally has observers and is able to claim his third. Queen's nest going down for our zerg player, who is now content in sitting back and massing up in his base.
Sky is advancing towards the middle of the map with a huge goon-zealot-templar force, but a ling backstab forces him to move back. Hive going down. Larva has gotten a fourth base at 6.5 o'clock, and has regained some position in the middle of the map, but I have a feeling that Sky will be able to deny it. Some zerglings being mischievous and run by in the toss' main. Sky has moved out towards Larva's fourth and catches some hydras. But Larva elects to counterattack! Everything he has is streaming towards the toss' nat! It's officially a base race now, as sky counter-counter-attacks!
No hydras out on the field, corsairs killing overlords left and right. Looks like larva will be able to eat the main, but there are so many cannons at Sky's third. Hydras finally come back out and kill all the sairs. Overlords move in to reinforce the attack, making the 2 dts Sky had obsolete. Basically, Sky is fucked now, as he was unable to keep pressing with his army. He still has a templar's archives tho, and a gateway, lol. But Larva is on 3 bases now TT_TT
Lol, nasty lurker surprise, 10 kills with 2 hits. Haha, a dt standing near a lone drone. But another drone walks into it, prompting it to kill its friend. An engagement in the middle of the map, decent storms, but Larva just has too much. Dark swarm goes down to circumvent the sunflower defence and Sky GGs.
Larva did fast 4 base simcity play on NEC (weird) and Sky made his gate before nexus for early zlots (weird)
Sky was very confused for a while and had his speedlot timing blocked, and Larva's zergling backstab did a lot of damage, took out the forge.
Then from there on both players macroed, Sky used his sairs decently but got any sort of harass shut down. And then Sky won the ground army fight very disproportionately lol

Stargirl smiled, omg so cute ^_^ Sky going 1gate in his main and gas o_O Larva goes for 12 hatch. And he sends a scout drone, but it looks like it will go crossmap!
Core done now. Please be reaver/goon front gate bust pleaseeeee I love that stuff. Pool done for larva now, he still hasn't put a third down. Probe gets in the zerg's main. Zerg places his third hatch as a sim-city thing in his nat. There's a drone in the toss' main, seeing everything. Zerg taking gas now.
Templar archives now done for our protoss hero, but an overlord sneaks in and sees everything. The ovie dies to a sair, making it a total of 2 overlord kills by sairs so far.
Two dts now out on the map. Corsairs snipe another overlord, unimpeded by the small hydra force Larva has. Sky puts down a nexus in his nat now, while being annoying with his sairs. Omg, almost kills two overlords for free in the middle of the map. Larva is slowly moving ovies towards Sky's nat, he knows what's up.
Rofl, Sky moves out with two zealots and a goon to aid the sairs and now all the ovies outside of the zerg's base are dead, rendering the hydras useless against the dts.
The sairs kill an ovie in Larva's main. More overlords are crawling across the map, but the push has pretty much been denied. Larva looking to establish a third base over at 9 o'clock.
Oh crap, a lot of hydras making a move on Sky's nat. He has storm, however, and the overlords aren't quite there. Wow, huge storm, only 3 hydras left there. Meanwhile a DT got denied over at Larva's third.
Nevermind, Larva is killing probes now. The nexus lives but Sky has sustained heavy worker casualties, and the hydra wave gets reinforced again. Nexus dies.
Lol the drone killed a zealot before dying to storm So yeah, Sky is able to bust out of his nat, but it's only a temporary relief his Larva has now droned up his third as well, and is about to just mass up. DT in plain sight kills 5 drones. Sky trying to be agressive, but Larva has an overwhelming amount of hydras. Whiffs storm. Putting down a nexus in his nat again, but he probably won't be able to hold this, as long as Larva dodges the storms decently. And he does dodge the storms, but he decides to hold off for the moment for some reason o_O
Sairs snipe another overlord, what a pain in the ass. Robo going down for Sky now, looks like he has stabilised. Lol, a dt walks into a bar Larva's third just as the hydras move out and is able to snipe two drones. Sky being out and about in the middle of the map, and he's actually pushing Larva back. But larva is now employing lurkers in his defence line! A counter attack by some hydras at the toss' natural gets repelled somehow. Huge storms covering the retreat of Sky's army, looks like Larva has managed to macro up something fierce again.
A dt walks over to 7 o'clock and forces a cancel on the hatchery. Meanwhile, Larva has almost reached Sky's natural with his army and there are some minor skirmishes there. Holy crap, storms kill a lot of things, but the toss doesn't have enough goonns to engage the lurker field.
More reinforcements arrive for the zerg, but the protoss manages to stymie the wave for now. Nevermind, more hydras arrive and just kill everything Sky had left just because. However, he has no field overlords and dts repel the attack for now. Overlords still don't have the speed upgrade and are slowly crawling through the map. Sky now has more goons that zealots. He still hasn't put down his third nexus tho
Well, that's not good, Sky can't afford to have his units trapped in the thing there. PFFFFFFF storms clean out everything Larva has. Meanwhile a two lurker drop kills every probe in Sky's natural.
Ling backstab at Sky's third, finds a whole TWO cannons this time. Simultaneous ling backstab in the nat, kills an archon and a probe. Larva is moving up in the world.
Larva's main is mined out, natural almost. Sky is only on his nautral now. Larva takes 6 oc'lcok. Huge hydralurkling force, storms land, but are unable to hold off the tide. As the zerg army enters his nat, Sky ggs.

Dunno, if Sky can enter midgame on an equal footing, I think he'd be able to win. But then again, there was game one so...

Pool going down now for larva, he's not saving larva, as his drone hasn't seen the gates yet. First zealot is out and Sky pulls an extra 3 probes to go with it. Lol a pylon next to the hatch, gets cancelled.

Just get a dualscreen setup
Sky kills the first creep colony. Second one manages to morph but dies almost instantly. Third one shares the same fate. He has also killed a lot of lings and Larva GGs out. LOL

You have a better salary than I do, 100%, and electronics cost pretty much the same.

Stargate for Sky again.
I don't have money left after food, rent, electricity, internet and anything else I need for the house, like soap and stuff.
I do have a tiny fund of money that I'll have to waste in January though, so I'm planning ona second monitor then :>

You can save money by stopping bathing, both from water and soap, proper nerd-style (joking of course). January is so far away tho.

Pusan's PvZ really isn't that solid, though. I think it's quite possible we'll see a ZvZ final, sad as it may be (not dissing the matchup, mostly that as a Protoss player, I just don't understand it very well).

Yes, going to be played on the same day as finals.
Ah, thanks!
That's what I've heard, at least
there is most definitely going to be third place match and it will be on the same day as the finals. regardless of double mirror match i think ill enjoy watching it PvP and ZvZ are both really exciting matches
If someone finds any specifics about the finals please post here or PM me as i would love to go see them, pending the time (busy until 330 PM + travelling time).
Hahaha creepy cameraman and ZvZ finals. Much less worried since knowing there'll be third place match though, I actually don't hate ZvZ match up but I know same sentiments aren't really common especially for finals. Also props to Sky for the very entertaining series.
Killer is just way too good for this level of competition. You've got a legit A-team starter going up against amateur/semipros, b-teamers, and players who used to be really good but are way past their prime.
