The earlier you expand PvZ, the harder you have to scout (because you can't pressure due to your low unit count). Chalrenge didn't scout nearly enough, and it probably lost him the game.
there is no reason for him to send another probe out for scouting because lake had like what? 6 speed lings outside .. any scouting probe would be eaten like cakes ,he wouldn't be able to scout so there is no point for him to waste probes like that. remember every single mining worker counts in pro level..

You're boggling my mind here. There is always a reason to send out another probe in PvZ. Lake scouted Chalrenge's expansion. Chalrenge knew this. So the typical response on Lake's part would be to take another expansion. If Chalrenge had sent out a probe or two, he would have seen that Lake had not expanded. This would have told him that Lake was either teching or massing. Armed with that information, he would have turtled up. I'll go out on a limb here and say that that information is slightly more important than the extra 80 minerals those probes would have mined.
Further, Lake's zerglings were on his own ramp, and he didn't get ling speed until shortly before the attack. He was teching too quickly to get it before that point.
Lake won the game--and obviously that's commendable--but Chalrenge played like an amateur.
