EPThe had a control group of muta with another control group of ling vs 2 tanks, control group of marines, 2 medics, and one irradiate. if he had the lurkers morphing while stalling the army, he wins while pumping lings out.

Better control, not even strategic decisions, would have resulted in a decisive win for either player this game. Sloppy Game 5 brought to you by nerves. he had some good vessel snipes in game 4 which led him to victory. game 3 he had some as well but it was too little too late. game 2 he has a ton of valk snipes which were effectively vessels  | ||

Well, losing all your drones in your main while your third is barely mining is pretty severe damage against a 2 base terran. Losing your third shortly after that is something you most likely can't recover from. | ||

5-6 damaged mutas, 12 lings (we'll assume he lost a few lings from dancing), 2 lurkers and a defiler with consume and lings on the way and 3 more lurkers. consume at this point would be done, he can consume some lings that are being made or drones if he has to, sandwiches sea's army between muta/ling and 2 lurkers with lings and swarm. he wins that fight, mutas target down the vessel as it runs away, with his left over units, he runs top right and defends the 3rd. yes he loses drones, but whats important is that he saves the hatch and can try to power drone behind his army advantage. he also lost another whole control group of lings to the 4 marines in top right after he lost his 3rd, which again could have been used for map pressure with the leftover units. note now he's going to be at about 5 lurkers, good amount of lings, defiler with swarm, and maybe a muta or two if hes lucky. he has map control, he can power drone and grab a 4th and transition to ultras, and from there he can win the game. sea's mech switch was very weak (not enough map control for his vultures to take effect) and hero would replay out game 4 in a similar manner. | ||

Or Last. with "another" i meant that we've already seen too many of them in this tourney imo. And in fact there will be one more in finals or in the game for 3rd place, thats pretty annoying :/ | ||
