Looks like complete mirror, both should be starting their robo's pretty soon. Scouting Dragoon of Kals almost gets into danger - lures away the goons and allows Kal to sneak a probe in. It sees a Robotics building. Kal goes for Nexus first and only then adds a robotics. BeSt adds a nexus slightly later.

Safetoss vs. Safetoss still. Both observatory first for recon. Kal is bold in making his 3rd and 4th gateway. But I expect BeSt to follow suit soon.

BeSt: 10 min no rush, k?
Kal: 200 / 200 meet in middle.

Shuttle out for Kal, so maybe he is being aggressive soon. Kal switches to Zealot production, indicating a push rallying up. Does he have a citadel yet?

Kal looks ready to move out. Bunch of goons, some zealots for firecover and a shuttle with reavers.

Kal is late with his 2nd expansion. That might explain his window of opportunity for this push.

Well, Kal didn't really perform that attack as effectively as he needed to. Best macro incoming.

Kal engages the 2nd natural with his main force, sending his reavers to harass the expansion of BeSt's, preventing mining there. Best's force in general is bigger and drives Kal back until his reavers can help his main force. No damage done yet, except for the mining time lost. Kal drops off his reavers, kills 3 goons but loses the shuttle. Reavers are stranded now at BeSt's natural and will get taken out eventually.

BeSt has had the expansion advantage for a while now, also has speedzeals and templars coming up. Now attacking Kal's 3rd from above. Lots of zealots suffering from the sounds. Kal is still holding, with one reaver giving support and two archons morphed. Actually not a bad trade for him.

BeSt sending out a shuttle for harassment. Kal withdraws his goons JUST as the shuttle homes in. Two DTS are out, but an observer is nearby. DTs try to slip into the main base but are trailed by an observer and eventually sniped. BeSt is however rallying up his army and looking ready to strike. He should be about maxed by now. He has a healthy zeal / goon / temp mix, though no Archons to match Kal's- Battle erupts in the middle.Nice Storms by Best, but he does not manage to take out the two Reavers of Kal. BeSt is driven back.

BeSt was building his min only at the time of the attack but will have to say goodbye to it. Another force of his comes out of the base, finally taking out the reavers. Some goons are left for Kal but soon mopped up by BeSt. He lost quite a few units again and Kal is reinforcing with speedzeals now. Due to his good reinforcements Best was able to hold the min only. Kal is just getting his.

Tense game between the Protoss stars. BeSt loading up a shuttle with HTs going for the harass and claiming bottom left natural expansion. There is a zealot scouting though. Stormdrop comes to the natural but only hits ~3 probes as Kal reacts quickly. On the min only he is more successful, scoring maybe 5-6 kills there.
