YGosu Invitational - Page 5

Cezanne takes a 15 hatch, while Clide drops a rax and then FE's behind it. Clide opting to get a factory and uses his second rax to wall in with before pushing out with a small marine force. Cezanne has plenty of lings out though and defends it easily, he's also got a baneling nest going down.

Cezanne's turn to push with a baneling bust on clide's wall, it obliterates it and lings flood in. Clide holds it off with Hellions but not before there's been a lot of damage done. Clide gets his wall down again, but no sooner has it finished than another bust breaks through and things look really bad for Clide. Blueflame is done for clide's hellions however and he cleans it up again

There's a roach warren down for Cezanne, and a starport for clide. Clide pushes forward with hellions but is met by a roach wall at Cezanne's ramp. Clide brings down a medivac to drop his hellions between the main and nat and does a little harass.

Cezanne with an inbase hatch and is getting muta's out, Clide up to 5 rax and is starting to bring out siege tanks instead of the early game hellions.

Muta harass from Cezanne followed up by an attack on Clide's back rocks, Lings and Roaches flood in to Clide's nat while Muta's distract from the other side of his main. Cezanne has taken a third during this.

Clide pushes forwards to Cezanne's third which is heavily defended with lings/banes/roaches, the situation looks bad for him but he manages to micro back into range of his siege tanks and they do massive damage to the zerg forces plowing forward allowing Clide to wipe out the third. Not particularly good decision making from Cezanne, but he has reexpanded on the other side of the map.

Clide pushes out and crushes the third again, Creep has almost reached Clide's front door. Muta harass is thinning out Clide's natural which has really not had a whole lot mined from it considering it's been up almost the whole game. Cezanne getting his third up yet again.

Clide pushes out down the centre but his tanks aren't sieged up fast enough to catch the zerg at range and he gets overwhelmed by the massive forces of the swarm. Don't think he ever really recovered from that early Baneling bust that put him a sizeable way behind. Cezanne almost managed to throw away his lead on a number of occasions, but good harass kept Clide stretched pretty thin and he eventually took the win.

Close positions on Meta, Choya pylon blocks cezannes ramp...it's a cannon rush. Cezanne gets spinecrawlers and a pool down and has somewhat fended it off, cannons and pylons not cleaned up and a probe in the base, but nothing actually in range of the zerg forces now.

There's a baneling nest down for cezanne, while Choya is adding an extra gate to wall off completely. Cezanne breaks out and counter attacks, perfectly timed Sentry from Choya splits the lings in front of his wall and a cannon cleans the trapped ones up.

Cezanne expands, meanwhile a Stargate and additional gates are going down for Choya. Choya pushes with a gateway/voidray force but is thrown back decisively by some mass queen action. Choya expands behind it, Cezanne getting hydras

There's a bit of a standoff, choya is getting a robo. Cezanne decides to push with hydra/ling and brings some queens along to the party. Choya has a few cannons down defending his nat and his forces are more than enough to fend it off convincingly.

Cezanne takes his gold, and his creep has spread all the way to choyas natural. choya scouts the gold and his first colossus pops out. Cezanne has been reinforcing with roaches rather than his hydra mix early though. Cezanne preparing a baneling drop, Choya pushing out once his third colossus arrives, but the baneling drop is smack bang on choya's forces and he gets flattened.

He's also pushing Cezanne's gold expo though and Cezanne is forced to bring his forces to defend it rather than push back at Choya's nat. Not sure what Cezanne is doing, he's just let Choya drag at least 20 roaches around almost the whole map with 2 wounded stalkers.

It doesn't matter though, the numbers from the last attack tell and when Cezanne does finally push towards the Nat it's GG. Cezanne goes through, and Choya is out.

Lost temple, MvP spawns at 9 and Clide at 3. MvP rax/fact and fast siege tanks. Clide has chosen to take a fast expansion, MvP getting a starport down. Brief skirmish in the middle of the map which MvP comes out on top of granting him a bit of map control.

2 Tank drop inc at Clide's nat and MvP has to be feeling pretty happy with this start. Clide has vikings out and uses them to clean up the medivac and give sight for his own tanks to hit up to the ledge, pretty sure he landed them to clean up but we cut away because MvP has a big push inc at the natural. Clide holds it off though with tanks, scv's, and landed vikings and it really doesn't do a lot of damage (he's only 5 scv's down).

Clide pushing back and has restored control of half the map. He sieges up below the ledge outside MvP's main and is using vikings for sight again; he's doing a lot of damage to buildings and MvP can't get close enough with Bio so has to start inching his tanks forward along the flank. Clide using his vikings really well, drops them onto MvP's tank line to clean that threat up before hopping back to the skies to sight for his tanks. He starts pushing with them into MvP's main and brings along a medivac to start elevator lifting units up to the top, he pushes in further and MvP doesn't seem to have anything left. It's GG and Clide goes through, while MvP is out.

Interesting that there have been no 3-0's or 0-3's in these round robins.
