Effort's 2nd hatch finishes as Action's spire finishes. Typical ling arcs and fight at the 12 hatching player's ramp.
Effort forced his break up by having better micro and bigger numbers. He spots Action 2nd hatchery finishing on the natural.

Too much action to keep up my LR. As of now the supplies are equal, muta/scourge count is similar and Action's nat isn't mining yet.

Base trade is going on. Effort has some lings and dps in his advantage. What will Action do?

The moment the games get into some kind of equilibrium and are no longer BO defined, Effort just looks like a better player

that's weird because when they played in the ro24 action's muta/scourge micro looked superior

Interesting to see how Effort became the aggressor after he killed Action's overlord and supply blocked him.
12 hatch beat the 9 pool. Neo Dark Origin rush distance has a play in that? I dunno. It definitely helped that Effort bought as much time as possible and still canceled his hatch last second and wasted no time to tech to lair.

Both these 2 games Effort was (or became) the aggressor and won. In their ro24 face off, Action was the aggressor.

I won't be sad if this turns into a 3-0 sweep, but at the same time I would rly like to see another Hive vs Hive game.

Tall task ahead for Action. Can he bring this back with 3 wins in a row? Game 3 let's go~

Both players started with gas before pool. Similar pool timing. Interesting. This game should show who's in better form.

EffOrt sniped Action's overlord once again, supply blocking him.

Action forced an air fight with his earlier 2nd hatch, but Effort's higher muta count and on point micro came on top. Scourges had to connect 1 scourge per muta or other wise very favorable if he wanted to win that fight tbh. The ovie loss must have triggered Action to all in there and pray for the best.
