rofl msl announcers crack me up. especially that short foo on the right: you see him and you think: damn he's scrawny, but then he has the deepest voice of the group

Alright, we might be ready for the next round now. TvT, but lately I was under the impression that this matchup was quite dynamic.

edit: Maybe not starting soon, problems in Memory's booth.

yeah this map looks like it's gonna favor zerg. as long as zerg can delay to late game, it's really hard to attack the available expansions for terran cuz the map is so damn huge.

I still say its heavily terran and protoss favor, if you look first version stats. Unless they dramatically modified map.

Gogogogogogo!

So, we have yellow Canata vs. green Memory if I saw the colours correctly.

Canata spawns bottom (6), Memory right (3).

Canata proxies a Barracks next to his own Extractor - that thing is damn close!

Both with gas + Raxx.

Hmm, memory's first supply was waaaayyy faster than Canata's, interesting. The builds seem to mirror though, rax near choke and gas. Nothing unusual.

Factories going up, no digression yet. Finally someone bothers to scout, being Memory. He hacks so he sends it to the right position.

Canata singly mining gas, so he might expand.

Machine shop and Starport for Memory!

Yes. Actually Lomo started the trend by heavily using early starport, resulting in short action packed games.
Then fOrGG succesfully pulled a few early devastating pushes.
Since, many T tend to be very agressive in early game, and we have not had that many long drawn camp fest.

Memory's the one first sending out a scout, he's going the correct way as well. Canata cutting SCV's on gas, I sense a FE. 2 marines firing at memory's scv, which goes up the cliff. Only 1 fact so far for both, Canata making a vult while Memory adds machine shop and starts a Starport. Canata also building Starport.

Starport gets an instant addon, so Memory might be going for a siege drop there. Canata has 3 vultures and some marines coming in. He manages to kill all marines and heavily damage the first tank with sweet micro.

Memory fends off the initial push but only has one tank remaining of two - thus delaying or weakening his drop. Canata did not expand after all but teched up and built a wraith that goes hunting the ship now.

Misses it by mere seconds though!

No wraith before addon for either players. Canata on the offensive with 4 rines and 1 vult + 2 vults coming in late, but he turns back when a tank fires at his SCV. Memory makes a mistake letting his tank out alone tho and it takes some free shots...they trade armies afterwards, and Memory loses that initial tank. He holds the attack with ease tho thanks to his 2nd tank, but a vult sneaks up his cliff (doing no damage). Canata going for cloaked wraiths from 1 sp. He also walled in, but not before Memory sneaked another SCV in. Memory has dropship, but nothing to defend vs the cloaked wraiths yet. He's building an armory but the wraith is picking on it

Now Canata is harassing the main while Memory is ferrying troops onto Canata's Cliff.

4 rines and 2 tanks there! Trouble in Tahiti!

Canata already has wraith cloak and picked off an SCV building a bunker. He had to stop mining at his main though, as 2 tanks are sieging his peon line. He almost loses the wraith in his main but manages to keep it alive still. Harassing wraiths are recalled to combat the drop.

Memory is ferrying shit to Canata's cliff as he missed the dropship with his wraith. Memory trying to hold his main while cliffing Canata and thwarting his mining. Canata also has scan, Memory's just building one. Canata's 2 wraiths with 11 kills combined (in Memory's main). Memory's marines almost get Canata's lone defending wraith in his main!

3 wraiths defending now, but the tanks also have tons of kills, dead supply 'n stuff. Canata finally secures his main and then SCANS ON THE DROPSHIP LOL
