herO stalls the game with an inferior force at his ramp. Manages to evade the Zergling mass with his other two lings, which get a look at the enemy base. herO moves out! He's sitting in the middle of the map. Now HoGiL does the same ramp defense and beats herO's smaller force on the ground. Two spires up, no mutas yet. First mutas pop to benefit herO, whose turn it is to mount a ramp defense.

HoGiL's gone chamber. He attacks hero's base outright and wipes out the drones, but loses most of his muta stack! The spore colonies will be ready shortly. hero's got zero drones, and HoGiL's got no mutas!

Hogil's gambit. Spore up and trade his mutas for Hero's drones. He lost almost all his mutas but Hero can't get anything done with his remaining mutas because of the spores and Hero has lost all his economy.

ZERO ECONOMY FOR HERO! ALL-IN ON THE SPORE COLONIES, NOT LOOKING GOOD.

I don't know why people don't like ZvZ that was the best game so far today.

If Hero goes out there is no hope for the swarm in this tournment. Except maybe Modesty, the most entertaining but barest of hopes.

Hogil getting spores again. Spores pretty good. They defend your drones and give you a license to use your mutas as you wish without been backstabbed.

hero use his Mutas to make the ling fight one sided and unfair. then sets the extra lings lose on the defensless spores. Looking good for hero now.

Spores didn't work out this time around.

the problem with spores is that he had an expansion which meant he had to build 4 spores?
that's much too high an investment in ZvZ

2 spores defending a single base is kind of reasonable but the expansion just did nothing

going for the second hatchery in your natural means you need twice the number of spores to spore up. It's not necessarily the most optimal stratergy. But having said that I have seen it work before.

edit: I agree ShloobeR

And we're going to the final match! Near spawns on Fighting Spirit! hero at top left, ZerG at bottom left. 11 pool from ZerG, looks like a gas-before-pool into expand build for HerO. What the hell?
