hive tech is finished, defiler mound needs to be started, but it's like by.hero left the drone there and forgot about it. leta just scouted the third from the fpvod, and it looks like he sent a dropship out to go try and drop either the main or the expansion (expansion seems more likely, as it's moving up the right edge of the map)

alright, drop finishes, by.hero is left to react with a control of lings, but he loses like 5 drones in the process. a really good trade for leta to be able to make.

defiler mound is now out, i hope to heck it's researching consume, and it appears that right now by.hero is going to live until he makes it to hive tech.

his third might go down though, as leta's pushing it with a control of mnm. by.hero pushes the nat with a bunch of lurkers, but i don't know what he's planning on accomplishing. dark swarm goes up over the lurkers, but he's not going to be able to mail all of the tanks and such that's underneath the swarm

3 dswarms over leta's nat, and now by.hero has no units to be able to deal with it. how sad.

Leta showing some really nice harass here, in the purest sense of the word: sniping a few drones and pushing Hero's army back.

HERO MOVING INTO LETA'S NAT, TAKES OUT A TON OF UNITS WITH SWARM, LETA HOLDS IT OFF AND HARASSES HERO'S THIRD! LETA SURVIVES AND MOVES OUT WITH HIS ARMY TO ATTACK HERO!

3 drones die randomly in the middle of the map. This has turned into a slightly more standard game after a really super low ecn beginning.

alright, and leta is pushing the third again that by.hero has, but leta finally takes out the third that by.hero had.

leta has enough fbat and mnm to take out any unsupported lurker/ling force, and by.hero now really needs to find a way to get a third gas.

lol??

I think it was just 1 ling. Speedlings moved in and took down the refinery and then ran off. Pretty useful, cuts into Leta's gas eco and prevents too big of a vessel cloud.

Leta finally takes down Hero's third and expands. This is looking bad for Hero.

lol, it looks like by.hero has about 12 supply worth of drones just sitting where his expansion used to be. also, leta has his own expansion up at about 4ish, and i don't think that by.hero has scouted it yet.

I think that leta's got this, as now by.hero is 1basing, and leta is 2 basing. leta's going to push the backdoor with about 2 control of mnmnf, and easily crushes by.hero's only mining base.
