effort was supply blocked for like 1 minute and didn't make sunkens, interesting

I'm very amazed by these finals. Very entertaining. One guy rushes, the other one loses.

It's not effort being dumb, he must have assumed there weren't 2 additional firebats coming.

If an additional sunken (if unnecessary), would have been very bad for his greedy 2hatch econ

Exact same mistake Jaedong made versus Last when he thought 2 sunkens is enough against a marine medic control group.

I dunno. 2 sunkens up a ramp you'd usually think of as being enough to hold a control group imo. I'm not sure you can fault EffOrt that hard...especially playing with a very fast 2h muta where drones are a premium.

That engage also couldn't have gone more perfect for FlaSh.

This is also possible. Without those firebats getting perfect shots no way FlaSh can break that.

I wonder if effort was given a false sense of security from the ramp?
on a map with a low natural you'd never only build 2 sunkens to stop a 1 base bio push

Effort saw only part of the push and never saw the second rax, he wasnt expecting that many units

An overlord builds in 25 seconds, so it's not really possible to be supply blocked for longer than that if none of your overlords are killed.

Effort went into those marines too early I think, but it's a tough situation, because it's hard to place the sunks in a good place. The ideal distance to attack the marines at would be at around the ramp, but because there's a ramp there with firebats you can't really engage there.

A third sunken would have been the ideal play, but alas.

Dude...make a sunken.

Did he underestimate the number of marines? Why didn't he target fire the firebats first? Those lings just committed suicide into them.

Doubt it. His overlord scouted there wasn't a CC there.

Not enough credit being given to the mind games being played here. Effort didn't build a third sunken because he just didn't believe that Flash, of all people, would just do a 2 rax no-expo attack. That was part of Flash's strategy.

well, its like effort and flash swaped spots from game one;

one player doing a timing push,
other player scouted it,
but instead of defending, they got to greedy...

Well effort lost his lings to the firebats and did not target with his sunkens propely, the defence micro could have gone better for him.

No surprise on the 2rax there. This was the most Z favored map in the set and Flash was already down a game.

Think Effort was trying to be cute and skimp by placing an evo chamber to block off his main, though at that point, once the lings were gone, Flash could have just shut down the natural hatchery before the mutas popped
