haha yeah, but hes definitely still a kid, makes excuses at the end of the game :D but that game was astounding, drieven is incredible. I didn't see him making that come back after his start. Delayed expo, teching in every route in order to finally secure his expo then still coming back and winning.

I dunno if anyone else appreciated the genius of taking the bottom left base, but I loved that. It disallows a split map which would disadvantage koll. and taking the bottom right bases is possible but also is about 20x harder to defend, but drieven pulled it off. The entire game was absolute sex.

Yeah I thought about that too, I thought it was a great decision by koll but I guess he mistakenly thought that dreiven wouldnt even dare to take bottom right and was incredibly surprised when those cannons shot at his base, just like I was since I was only watching from kolls view.

Really really great game, thanks a lot for sharing.
Dreiven, the true master of foreign PvZ imo. Nice to see him in such good shape after his break already.
So many sick maelstroms this game. Great play by both players, though koll certainly did some criticial mistakes. It was nice to see that he has some cool tactics up his sleeves and is not just a korean macrobot.

man sick sick game.. could definitely witness kollls ability..
but Dreivens micro & unit control / the way he wins fights is just beyond me..

great game

( i think kolll stating hes bad on this map isnt really searching for excuses but just pure honesty.. and his own observation.. )

Is there a reason for zergs never building guardians when the p is camping with reavers and a minimum of units? 8[

Besides that its a pretty good game, especially the early game micro was gold.

really great game, but it felt like kolll lost rather than drieven won. i'm amazed by the low number of hatcheries/gateways this game.. still, very nice micro from drieven!

This game was really really good...koll made some bad decisions on a few attacks imo and Dreiven micro'd really well and took advantage of it. Some nice plays by both players though. Entertaining game

Kolls ZvP seems to be where rets was during the first TSL. Super strong, very abusive but way way too reliant on ultras and defilers in the lategame after toss has already built up a ultra/defiler murdering squad.

In my experience going 1 base play against a good zerg means loss. Kolll is too young to counter it properly, but what Dreiven did is very risky and shouldn't be a viable option at all. Very nicely played late game though, as usual ^^

edit: by 1 base play I mean gas builds, 2 gate into expansion is still good on certain maps.

Sick sick play from both players. Wow.. Never thought I'd see the day where I cheered a Protoss to win over a Zerg. Dreiven's play was fantastic. wow.

@chameleonia: I recall Mistrz vs KawaiiRice rep posted not so long ago.

As for Dreiven's 1gate, I am a tiny cockroach indeed and no-one to argue Cloud but hasn't he used it before successfully? Like the series vs Mondi at the first TSL?

awesome game

one thing that stood out for me was when koll attacked P nat exp with guardians, dreiven could have psi storm the 2 mutas instead of gurs, then he would have had the corsair left alive and couldve kille the guardians with it. the guardians made alot of damage and was there for a long time

great late game, especially from p. love the DA action

dreiven made mistakes too... he attacked bottom right with 5 sunks there and reinforcements coming, he could have scouted to see if reinforcements were coming and deal with sunks/reinforcements separatly
ignorance is bliss!

Wow, I had no idea how the protoss managed to win that. The only reason I could have seen how was the zerg's not-so-great macro. Had 3k minerals for the last half of the game. Could have abused drops. The toss' macro wasn't as good as it could have been either, but it was very entertaining.

Especially liked the dt blocking the ramp at bottom right. Game would have changed if he didn't protect that expansion. The use of DA were pretty effective too.

wow sick ass game

admittedly koll fucked up a bit with his decisions, but there were so many sick battles at bottom right. Can't believe dreiven held that shit!

reavers are sooo good (DAs too)

Am I the only one who thought Koll did a horrible job macroing? Yes, he had a ton of bases, but his hatcheries were constantly at 3 larvae, and he almost always had 600+ minerals in the bank, and at one time over 2000+. He never really seemed to have a large army, despite having tons of bases. Also, he wasted tons of money on sunkens that should have been spent on a more mobile army. Maybe I'm just too used to watching Jaedong or something, am I mistaken here?
