Really drops 2 vulture / tank into Best's backdoor natural, does a HUGE mistake though by placing the tank within range of the cannon there. First recall for Best hits Really's backdoor natural and does a ton of damage - not much there for Really, although he has a vessel and can thus avoid constant scanning.

In the end, Really is rather successful, although he lost his CC at the location. But He killed the arbiters and the entire force.

recall in reallys nat, really manages to defend. he has vessels emping arbiters. and has a huge army, now meeting bests army in middle. Best drops out his templars and Lots of storms on reallys tanks and vultures. Best trying to recall again, but failing due to the vessels emps. Really harrassing best with small drops. 1 tank 2 vultures. Really playing good!

Terrans nowadays really adapted to the constant recalls and lonely arbiters, EMP-sniping Arbiters every so often. Fight outside of Really's 4th base, some nice storms going on, but still a LOT of metal left. I would *almost* claim that Really is pulling ahead here. He has stable 4 bases, his main is protected with vessels standing guard, presumably to EMP incoming Arbiters.

And hits ANOTHER one.

Yet another 2+1 drop at BeSt's backdoor natural. Probes are running for it. Tank thist time OUTSIdE of cannon range. In the meantime, Really pushes but gets 4 tanks stasis in an awkward position. Will BeSt engage this push? There is a long line of tanks. Drop at BeSt's backdoor is STILL alive, preventing him from mining.

Huge battle near the 4th again and clutch EMPs prevent ANY stasis from being casted. Really is pouring into Best's half, and there is not much he can do against it!

This game might easily fall to the estro terran.

BeSt with a desperate counter towards Really's 3rd. He still has some bases, but his army is constantly getting destroyed by the Terran metal. More storms might be a good solution, but no clue if there is time for it.

As Really moves down, he is indeed caught under some storms, but to no great effect -there is still a sizable clump of vulture / tank. The newly produces zealots melt under vulture fire. Really now deep in Best's half of the map. Best engages the rear of push and breaks it with pure zealgoon. First part of push comes back and wipes out Best's force.

I think Best went to ground heavy. It's so hard to attack with ground in TvP on Katrina...
That being said - Really played flawless. Some really nice EMPs too.

BeSt's positioning has allowed him to reclaim his portion of the map and he still has quite a few mining bases. Really is not reinforcing as much anymore, he appears to be low on resources now?

BeSt knows no such problems, Zealots keep on streaming and bottom left bases are running perfectly for him.
