Ugh that Zergling exchange that left Savior down 4 lings ended up being huge ... Luxury could just go through Drones with very little micro using those 4 lings while the two players concentrated on the muta fight.

And that little bit of econ advantage was all it took, especially given Luxury has ridic muta micro.

That overlord pick pretty much got Savior more behind, not to mention, Luxury's zerglings picked off at least 2 drones.

Scourges don't work anymore at high level since they die to muta micro. Savior made 4 scourges that didn't deal any damage. Lux did the right thing. Make all mutas and only a pair of scourges. That's the most scourges you'll need.

It's not okay savior! Shape up. It's a cruel world.

sigh... my stream was dying so all i could hear was screaming and a bunch of korean which I can't understand.

The screen was frozen on savior's 4th or 5th drone dying to 4 of Lux's lings.... so sad. Assuming SkyHigh wins G4, who will CJ send to get smashed by Flash? . . . . .

That was really bad drone defense vs the lings. One sunken alone isn't gonna kill 4 lings fast enough. He had to use the drones too.

And luxury was ahead 1 muta every time they fought. I think that early lord stalled saviors prediction for too long.

Notice that luxurys overlord went down rather then home. Savior didn't find his OL fast enough even thou mutas popped at the same time + he took damage to get that kill , albiet 30-40 damage, its still not good.

That 3 drones Maestro lost from lings was enough for Lux to take the game. But I guess it all started when he wanted to break Lux ramp and lost all his lings.
