didn't think that mini didn't have enough splash for that attack.

meanwhile SK's multitask on point keeping mini still on 2 bases.

An uphill battle against the lair tech swarm with a good layout decimates most of Mini's quickly upgraded storm -supported army. The quick upgrades and corsairs were phased in for huge cost with only minor impact, and zerg was just more of it when the fight broke out. So there are 2-1 Hydra's and Lurkers with the map's layout supporting these campy monsters and with good instructions they do block expanding for Mini in multiple locations.

The siege is lost, the rallies of aiur's get shorter, what was once a mineral-field is now nocturnal desert. Ultimately a zerg which played to the maps advantage better defended for long enough won.

Too bad but I was thinking, statistically it is around time that the one who wins the first match loses in the end. Gogo mini templar!!!

This game is now wide-open. Wying for air and information control a corsair is sent out on a scouting mission. Scourges deny and crucially it misses soulkey choice of playing into the map's advantage and putting risk and two hatchery's in the long archipelago connecting a second a third.

Zerg follows the logic of statistical evolution but protoss has a more different twisted interpretation of things. Mini pulled off a mind-game of a mind-game and goes shuttle reaver. It makes sense because they are cross spawned on a symmetric map and secluded areas.

Mini is denied in dropping and loses everything at first. The third drop destroying a fourth hatch only succeeds because Soulkey himself evolved for drop tech and tries to paratroop in Hydra's. Evolutional stats and a dead end. It may be these were equal exchanges but protoss synchronised for reaver domination, and now is missing those reavers due to interference.

The toss needs to fall back and re-structure get upgrades and some income but also can't let evolution overgrow. Zerg can not close it though after so many areas already occupied on the map against a protoss with so many different Aoe-spells.

Mini finally gets the good splash comp that he's been waiting 2 games for.
