Action and Sharp should be too solid, but they are both prone to the occasional blunder. Shine is unpredictable, so it will depend on whether he managed to cook up something interesting. | ||

SHINee retreates up his ramp, laying mines and using his precious irradiates to try to whittle down the muta swarm Bagzerg pressures the ramp with muta-lurker-ling after the irradiates are used, soaking up mine hits with a handful of lings and entrenching his lurkers in range of the barracks infrastructure SHINee taps out | ||

Shinee qualified twice before but didn't show up once, and reported he lost in qualifiers final instead of winning, and got banned, until last season. So while technically this is his first time playing in Ro24, it isn't his first time "in ro24". I think this makes Shinee the second player in ASL history, to qualify and make it through the Ro24, on his first time playing in the Ro24. First Being Brain. Technically everyone who played in season 1 and some who played in season 2 also meet the criteria but that's different. | ||

For the TvZ experts, did action misread SHINee's push or was he greedy? I think he could have sacked his 3rd base in favor of more lings/mutas instead of trying to defend two bases -edit looks like everyone's LB is in tatters | ||

Had to be more defensive going for an early third like that. You’re very exposed to a bio bust going for a super early third which is why Zergs will generally always favour getting faster mutas. In saying that, Action was only like 30secs away from having enough mutas to hold. Was great timing from Shinee. | ||

Imagine stopping that without the ability to scout or repair? Oh wait, it's Protoss. If 3H Hydra was a viable strat for ZvT, Terrans would have seen nowhere near the success they've had. | ||
