Game 1: Fighting Spirit cross spawns (Larva wins)
Game 2: Odd-Eye 3 (Larva wins)
Game 3: Neo Harmony (Free wins)
Game 4: Bifrost III (Larva wins)
Boring series to Larva 3-1.


If you're going to watch one of these games, Game 3 on Neo Harmony was short and sweet, the rest were very standard and slow-paced, and better for player analysis than entertainment. In each of the winner's games, the loser just made the first mistake and it went gradually downhill from there. Larva and free are very passive, cerebral players and there wasn't a lot of critical unit control although both players exhibited strong micro - the games were lost at the tactical level, and the winner was subtly outplaying the loser on all other fronts.

It's insane to think that in this modern day of BW a no name B-teamer SKT zerg would be the favorite vs one of the Six Dragons. Post-Kespa BW you cray.

(P)Bisu vs (Z)Larva 42W 15L
(P)Bisu vs (P)free 10W 4L

Larva may not be taking many games off Bisu, but he plays him all the time (even much more than these 140508 - 141113 spon stats would suggest) and that practice sure pays off.

.. and he appears to be a ZvP specialist to begin with:

Haven't quite been able to figure it out, Larva's stats look HORRIBLE in vT and vZ, and while those are clearly much weaker for him he still holds his own in SOSPA competition and has even made some deep runs.
EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

Free used to be one of the top PvZers but Free can be called old school now right?

True, but they weren't cursed as an SKT zerg.

Larva played good there. Let's see if it's a one time thing.

I'm watching free's stream and I didn't expect him to be crushed at Larva's nat with such a large army.

Yeah it seems like Larva is winning without really doing anything. I suspect that free's macro is failing him, because he wasn't reinforcing well at all compared to Larva.

Map order was Fighting Spirit, Odd-Eye, Neo Harmony.

Neo Harmony had the players spawn close, Larva at bottom left and free at bottom right, and we had speedlots vs speedlings. Larva gave up during what looked like a strong mutaling attack on free's natural. I guess the damage to his natural and main had been worse than I thought.
