If we lose, we'll just say TOSU. It's like Tofu but more awesome.

EDIT: Or better yet, we'll just dodge until you graduate ;o

OSU 4 - 3 Chicago

Game 1
[image loading]

Ancestral vs Proteus [image loading]

@ Longinus

Ancestral starts with a standard 10/12 gate opening

While Proteus_ goes for one gate tech

Ancestral anticipated DTs, but Proteus_ goes for fast leg speed. I guess at UC, this is how they play StarCraft...

Proteus_ valiantly defends with his probes, but goon micro, leg speed, and a few probes cannot defend from 2 gate zealots apparently.

Ancestral dutifully builds a robo in case of oncoming proxied DTs, but alas there was no such threat. OSU's resident gosu, Lyra[pulse] congratulates Ancestral on his sound victory. There are allegations that Stork may have been smurfing on Ancestral's account...

OSU 1 - 0 Chicago

Game 2
[image loading]

Ancestral vs. acolderwar [image loading]

@ Wuthering Heights

U Chicago bringing the bm, impying that OSU's only chance for victory is "luck."

Ancestral goes for a two gate range build, attempting to apply early pressure, wary of the fact that U Chicago has already pulled out their ace player for game 2.

acolderwar responds with 2 fact

Ancestral sniped an early tank, but careless micro causes the lost of his early goons to SCVs. acolderwar goes for a vulture runby, and Ancestral is forced to pull probes. Things are not looking good for our Protoss player.

And it ends in rape. With two probes remaining and two Nexuses remaining, Ancestral goes for one last futile attack before conceding.

OSU 1 - 1 Chicago

Game 3
[image loading]

dasanivan vs. acolderwar [image loading]

@ Python

OSU decides to send out 220 APM Terran Korean Python expert dasanivan to try and unseat ace player acolderwar.

Inspired by Flash's recent play, dasanivan goes for a 14cc build. Given the cross positions, this may benefit dasanivan.

acolderwar attempts to take advantage of the greedy play by bunker rushing, and dasanivan responds with a bunker of his own, and also manages to snipe acolderwar's SCV

Both players go for a 1 fact port builds, but dasanivan builds a tower for early cloak

Unfortunately for him, this means his Wraith is slower. And botched timing on a factory and his first tank leaves dasanivan unable to defend against acolderwar's push.

OSU 1 - 2 Chicago

Game 4
[image loading]

OrderlyChaos vs. acolderwar [image loading]

@ Andromeda

On Andromeda, OSU sends out Zerg OrderlyChaos. acolderwar decides to go for a mech build, as is all the rage with the kids these days

OrderlyChaos chooses a muta build with early Den

But acolderwar's early vulture drop brings much rape to OrderlyChaos' drones

Observers comment on OrderlyChaos' apparent lack of "units," which are considered integral in modern StarCraft strategy. However, OSU's game sense extends far beyond such trivial concepts.

But unfortunately, our next-level thinking does not prevent masses of Goliaths from raping the Zerg hero.

OSU 1 - 3 Chicago

Game 5
[image loading]

Lyra[Pulse] vs. acolderwar [image loading]

@ Destination

OSU now has only its own ace player, Zerg gosu and representative of the Ohio State University's Jewish StarCraft scene Lyra[Pules]. Being a straight up gosu, he does not fear U Chicago's ace player, and decides for a straight up opening. Will he be able to save his teammates?

acolderwar, thinking he is a Korean progamer, decides walling in is not necessary, and Lyra[Pulse] punishes his misplaced bunker and lack of wall-in by destroying his refinery, which seriously slows down his mech opening.

Lyra[Pulse] has a near homosexual love of raping mech terrans with hydra drops, and it seems this is his plan.

Constant Mutalisk harass prevents acolderwar from being able to take his natural for far too long, and Lyra[Pulse]'s five bases and persistent macro allow him to roll his opponent with ease when he has built up a sufficient army.

OSU 2 - 3 Chicago

Game 6
[image loading]

Lyra[Pulse] vs. StikerS-Kana [image loading]

@ BlueStorm

Now I don't know much about ZvZ, but maybe you can figure it out from this picture. Gosu Lyra[Pulse] has an egg and a Spawning Pool building.

While this is what the other guy is doing.

Kana gets his lair at this point

Whils Lyra has yet to start his.

Kana gets this kind of building

Lyra's lair has just completed

Lyra does not hide the fact that ZvZ is his least favorite matchup. But as you can see from all the purple outside Kana's base, we will soon see a display of his micro, which I guess matters in ZvZ.

With 10 population, 6 of it being Mutas, it's a fair assumption that Lyra was successful in his ling harass versus Kana. I guess U Chicago MICRO doesn't live up to their team name.

With brutal scourging of his opponent's overlords, Lyra manages to put Kana's supply in the read

And take and secure an expansion. With few drones and being forced to produce an Overlord, this seals Kana's fate.

OSU 3 - 3 Chicago

Game 7
[image loading]

Lyra[Pulse] vs. st.kim1222 [image loading]

@ Chupung-Ryeong

It's down to the wire. Chicago played their ace early, OSU decided to send in the noobies to wear him out, softening him up for their own destroyer. Is Chicago's pool all dried up? Are they just going to send some noob to try and bunker rush Lyra? Well,"Kim" is a Korean name. So this guy may be gosu. However, instead of attempting to prove that, he goes for a bunker rush.

Lyra definitely has drone micro down to a science.

That marine barely made it alive into the bunker.

Lyra disposes of the threat, and st.kim prepares for the worst by bunkering in his main.

But it's of no use. Lyra came to the rescue and did 3/4 of a reverse all-kill. Perhaps I should take this as a lesson that instead of writing battle reports, I should be having super-awesome gosu Lyra teach me how to play StarCraft, so we don't become KTF with Lyra as our flash.

OSU 4 - 3 Chicago

Great job, UChicago and OSU! I wish I got the chance to watch

Competition is also starting to look fierce. I'll warn my teammates to practice hard.

EDIT: Btw, which one is caller? Did he play?

Agreed. That's why with the new UC League we were talking about just doing the regular PL format.

The regular season of CSL will be PL format, with 2v2's. Winner's League format is just for things like exhibition/hype matches, or off-season competitions. Otherwise Rutgers/Berkeley would all-kill us all ><
