2 fact for both

its odd how this series has differed from last/mong so much. blue storm was a vulture haven in old days, but both mong/last expanded pretty quick and mong followed up with starport

also both went dropship on sin peaks

ssak mines up some of the map, hiya went for 2 tanks though

now 2 ports going up for hiya, 1 starport up for ssak, getting dropship

ssak scans and sees the 2 port!

sees a wraith pop out, turns back dropship

hiya gets down the little nook in center of brood to siege the nat a little. gets down a turret and kills ssak's 3 or 4 wraiths + 1 valkyrie with his own wraith squad!

hiya was kinda lower on scv count (and ssak took his third min only) but isn;t going to be able to use his natural for mineral mining

ssak with good consistent harass with vultures but hiya is free to take his min only and fourth simultaneously

valkyries for ssak are scary but hiya getting cloak, can he run in and snipe them>>? or does he even need to?

ssak though, gets the siege pressure on his natural away, with enough valks to scare any wraiths from providing vision (and kill floating building), plus took out some tanks in a pretty even exchange from the high ground wrapping around

able to circumnavigate the center and go to the 12 oclock area, ssak pretty safely has split map

hiya gets good mileage out of his wraith cloaks though, picking off probably like 5 wraiths overtime (kill 2, run away) without getting punished. has built up dropships behind all this, 5 are out

drops right behind ssak's natural minerals. annoying, but not end of the world

drops right at the cliff at the 12 and forces ssak to lift though, will be tough for ssak to reland that ever if hiya relands some more forces there/gives proper air defence

so this split map isn't even on gases; hiya has the 6 oclock running

ssak defends a lot of drops coming into his main from the 6 oclock

One note is ssak built a lot of vultures, should have good gas reserve as he has ~3 starports for bc production, getting armories for air ups too

long distance mining the gas at the 12, hiya wanted to run up to bust the tanks there but he can't

1-1 ups on hiya, is he planning to go gols? doesnt have starports up for his own bcs

Hiya's pushes towards the 12 really turns into a disaster, ssak with good vision control and nudging some tanks to snipe like 3 tanks for free

so hiya probably lost like 10 gas units over-time for maybe getting 1 tank or something

HIYA MUST NOT HAVE SEEN THE BCS AT ALL!

was planning to switch into mass wraith (added ~5 starports) but when 4 bcs with yamato showed up, he cancelled his starports

2-2 ups on him, 5k 1k bank

hiya at 3-3 but very worried face, loses a lot dropping the natural of ssak (to be fair a lot of vultures and dropships, supply he needed gone anyways; well, dropships still all alive) but he verbally is talking to himself in the booth

the resources are split but how is he ever going to advance on ssak? the answer is he won't, and yamato is far more cost effective long term

He does huge drop at 12 and retains good goliath numbers, so he takes down the CC and should be safe there too! but can he stop ssak from retaking it?
