Game 1 @ Xel'naga:

TLO makes some units out of rax and does a small push, but ends up falling back once he scouts a 4 sentry build from SangHo. TLO also went 2 factory early and held map control for a while with his units. He contained for a bit as SangHo transitioned into Immortal play off of 2 gate 1 robo and then took an expo. TLO expoed a bit later after trying to poke at SangHo unsuccessfully. TLO used a couple of multipronged attacks to draw his attention to no avail. TLO transitioned into Thor play with 250mm strike cannon upgrade to go with his infantry heavy build as Sangho made about 5 immortals before transitioning into Colossi. Both of them grabbed their thirds at similar times and TLO continued trying to poke with drops and hellions, but nothing worked. Eventually SangHo pushed out and had one of his colossi sniped as he was moving backwards, but TLO overcommitted on the chase and had two of his thors sniped before he could engage. SangHo had great control on his Immortals. FFs cuts off his army and TLO is forced to tap out after getting stomped in what was supposed to be an even fight.

Game 2 Steppes of War:

TLO tries to fake an early expansion by building a forward bunker at the large natural ramp and it momentarily works as SangHo throws up an expansion as well. But SangHo moves 3 stalkers past the bunker and into TLO's base and realizes it was a fake and so he cancels his expo and plays off of 4 gates and builds a dark shrine. TLO meanwhile is going for an early Thor + Marine rush as SangHo failed to scout the armory, despite having a stalker run through most of TLO's base. TLO pushes out with a handful of SCVs, 2 Thors, and a group of marines right as the Dark Shrine finishes. As he pushes into SangHo's ramp, he builds 2 bunkers and a turret as SangHo warps a few DTs at a forward Pylon and hits TLO's main. Meanwhile, he warps in a few at home to defend, but TLO saved a good amount of energy for scans and eventually cleaned up.

Game 3 Jungle Bullshit:

TLO goes for a Banshee rush as SangHo goes for a hidden 4 gate warp. SangHo builds a Pylon by the back rocks and hits TLO with a two pronged attack. Stalkers in the back and Zealot/Sentry in the front. TLO has one bunker of Marines and reacts slowly to the attack, resulting in the loss of the bunker as his Banshee pops with about 30 seconds before Cloak finished. Had he repaired, he may have been able to thwart the attack and win because his opponent had no detection. However, TLO is forced to GG.
