forGG's wraiths are now basically rocking the shit out of all of Up's tanks and expos, there's very little for him to do in response except make some lame wraiths that get killed very soon. Up builds a few goliaths, there's a smart Terran now. forGG starts like six new factories at once. I have to admit he is owning but sort of acting like a bitch while he does that. Up's wraiths run into some goliaths, get slaughtered. forGG sieges the shit out of 9 o'clock expo AGAIN, SCVs run away. Counterattack by Up on forGG's base around 5:30 midmap. Seems to have been somewhat effective, a failure would have been almost certain GG.

forGG now sieging Up's 3rd, gets taken down by some wraiths but kills most of the SCVs. Armories everywhere for forGG, tanks show 0/2 to 0/0 for Up. forGG runs an SCV into Up's next 11 o'clock expo and a sieged tank of Up's kills more of Up's SCVs than forGG's. What a silly move. Daum buffers and when we return we see some blue tanks killing some yellow tanks and Up GGs.

How do you all feel about the Lecaf gum policy?

Lately all the players have been chewing gum during games... I don't know if it's some sort of advertisement for some random korean gum, or maybe a show of disrespect to the other team by a display of taking it casually... Ionno how I feel about it.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I might be unfair, but it sounds like a typical Upmagic game. Be smart in the beginning, try to do something clever, get stomped by someone with better mechanics and macro.

Yeah. Except, well, it wasn't that clever, since it failed right away.

Now Lomo v. Really. Lomo is one of my favorites so forgive me if the commentary is a little biased.

Lomo (white 7) with a proxy 8rax. Really (blue 11) with standard 12rax/gas. Double scout for Lomo, one of them gets it right. Not the one that the proxy is nearer, though.

Stream buffers and... Marines invading Really's main, Lomo bunkering up while Really sets up a factory. SCVs come off mine line for Really, unsurprisingly. Lomo's attack fails and marines come out and destroy the bunker. Vulture out for Really and now he machine-shops it. More marines in from Lomo but they fail - meanwhile Really's vulture attacks his base. Starport for Really, more factories and an armory for Lomo. Wraith coming over to harass, two vultures (Lomo) fight a tank (Really). Goliaths coming out for Lomo. Really expanding, Lomo not. After failed attack he is behind.

Lomo expands to his nat, has a pretty respectable force with tanks, vultures, goliaths. Small fight around midmap. Really near to 6facts. Sieged around 9 o'clock.

Really seems to take the siege battle, no movement but a clear tank advantage. Taking his 3rd? not sure. A sizable vulture contingent moving down from Really.

A lot of Lomo's tanks destroyed by good mining on Really's part. Midmap siege war still inconclusive. Really beginning to have perceptible unit advantage. Sets up a 4th as Lomo goes for 3rd. Pushes through the middle. Sieges right over Lomo's 3rd. This does not look good. Lomo agrees. GG.

In the end Really just rolls over lomo with huge army of unsieged tanks and vultures. It seems that failed rush of lomo lost him the game

Winstreak broken, poor Lomo.

And he is up to meet Flash next. Double poor Lomo.

On the other hand, in GSL he is up against Odin. That one is winnable at least.

Lomo v Flash? That's exciting. Lomo has really great TvT, it was just this failed rush that messed this one up. I agree with jetpower.

BTW, try to watch a little of GoRush v Rage on YouTube - I won't spoil it, but some very, very unconventional play with very diverse use of spells.

Really really isn't usually that good, though.

Sorry about the delay. Positions: ToSky/BackHo purple 11/red 2; hyvaa/tester teal 8/blue 5. Appears to be normal 2v2 so far.

Lots of corsairs out for BackHo, not looking good re: hyvaa's overlord count. Dragoons and scourge to counter them, and eSTRO attempts to raid BackHo while he's out pirating. Probes off mineral line to block ramp after a zealot on zealot struggle. ToSky sends a whole bunch of zerglings in after hyvaa now, does not look good for him. Some of tester's dragoons come in to try and save the day and they do okay. DT coming out for BackHo, this looks pretty done.

BackHo's ramp defense against Tester was fucking spartan

Massive zergling force from ToSky dies to dragoon/drone block from eSTRO, but corsairs take the opportunity to run in and kill even more overlords. More zerglings from ToSky, tester basically on his own. He tries to expand. Zerglings killing it, zealots intervene. Someone from Lecaf yelling, don't know which is which. DTs out for tester too now. Slicing at a force of red zealots. Huge zealot/zergling combined force for Lecaf but a substantial defense including cannons, archons, HTs, overlord from hyvaa lol. Now tester moving across the map.

Nice shuttle snipe by some of hyvaa's scourge! He can still do... stuff. tester doing a good job basically on his own though. Sends some zealots after some high templars who were over his expansion. A shuttle of tester's own gets sniped, but not after a great near-escape. hyvaa has mutas but now his drones get stormed! ugh.

Ok, finally the push into tester's. hyvaa comes back to defend with his mutas but this will be GG. Nat goes down, army down, everything down with purple and red all over his base. Some DTs coming out but there can't honestly be a chance for eSTRO here. Attack is sent away at least. eSTRO GGs after it calms down because there is no way they can recover. Huge deficit.
