The push is elevated into the main of machine but a good speedling surrounds it and denies the drop with only three drone loses

after a cannon rush and multiple failed nydus's, that's pretty impressive
He was being uber greedy he deserved the cannon rush, you can't play like that and not expect your opponent to pressure.

Phoenixes are great in that army composition, it's just that during the big fight MC had his phoenixes flying around at the top left and therefore his collossi got focused down by the corrupters, that's pretty much what lost MC this game, not having the phoenixes in that battle was the game changer imo.

Machine all over that shit. B)
Pump, pump, pump!
....noooooo missed that second drop :[

muta's finally out with only 9 drones down, not too bad.

Third base now on the way for Machine

Well SeleCT winning this so far. I like Machine taking and playing it calmly though. The best thing you can do as zerg really. Even if you are pressured/harassed.

MC was 2-0 upgrades and only had around 12 supply in phoenixes, which aren't worthless because they could lift units and were still picking off drones.

Machine not looking too bad. Select has a massive push prepared, though. Waiting for Machine to expand and maynard >.< Push moving in, banelings ready to come.

Push for Select with a marine tank force heading to the third base of Machine
|
He needs to focus fire the Medivacs!
|
Machine D: Be more patient with your banes~
|
|
Nooooooo Select crushes Machine's resistance with that push, mutas manage to pick off a lot the medivacs from the force attacking the 3rd and maintaining his third base though! YES!
|
Even tho machine was a little sloppy letting the mutas attack the marines for to long, he did well to save the hatch.
|
|
select sitting at 1k/1k :|
machine macroing exceptionally well...sitting at 1k gas???
