[NASL] S2 Week 1 Day 3 - Page 15

Whoa-ly shit. Jinro beat back an incredibly dangerous 3 gate proxy Stargate push from Socke with a gasless 1 gate expand into Factory play. Although it was well timed SCV repairs and 2 well placed bunkers that won him that game, he still played skillfully.

Jinro opts for the 1 rax expand into factory play again. Socke does the biggest cheese of 2011, a proxy 5 gate robo warp prism drop. Jinro scouts, discovers the cheese after a bit of SCV scouting and despite the huge drop actually getting into his base and almost sniping the Tech Lab, Chinro holds and Socke ggs.

Jinro was amazing in this game and I may have slated him in the past but he was phenomenal and I think he's officially out of his slump. Even though he said post interview that he didn't have the time to practice due to the international date line and the fact that Korea is almost a day ahead of the US, he destroyed Socke 2 - 0.

JINRO WON 2 - 0. NO THIRD GAME

Opening with an early hatchery, MorroW focused hugely economically, but his opponent SjoWed up with 3 marines and 3 SCVs and despite holding, MorroW lost quite a few drones.

Okay, enough of the puns now.

SjoW transitions from a 2 rax expand into a factory and a starport, going for marine tank medivac whilst going gas heavy.

Meanwhile, in MorroW's base, he continues to macro the hell up, making loads of drones.but SjoW responds with good drop play in several places, sniping a few drones, lings and mutas, but MorroW holds without too many losses. However, SjoW is playing very risky, he doesn't have Combat Shields, he has a lack of units and MorroW is way ahead.

However, SjoW's risky play comes back to him and kicks him hard in the nads. He does a huge marine tank push and MorroW intercepts with a Ling Bane Muta force, catching SjoW off guard. He cleans up SjoW's push on his gold with absolute ease.

Despite some further engagements favouring SjoW more than his first two engagements, MorroW remaxes, gets infestors and easily takes the game. GG.

SjoW goes for early aggression, MorroW deflects it back and goes for a 2 base Ling Bane Muta build. Despite a good drop that snipes a queen without many losses, SjoW is poised to get hit in the nads by a muta timing which he wasn't prepared for.

But what's that? SjoW pushes in with a marine tank push, catches MorroW off guard, deflects the banelings very well, MorroW loses too much and ggs.

SjoW and MorroW go very economical, surprisingly on a map like Xel'naga Cavern. The Swedish Zerg then goes for an aggressive 2 base attack.

Despite a good SjoW of strength, the game turns into a gigantic base race where MorroW takes a huge advantage. SjoW just about survives but with 90 less supply than his opponent. Morrow has this.

His last-ditch attempt at taking the game comes from a proxy cloaked Banshee push, but he attacks too late, after MorroW scouts it. He holds but with heavy losses, gets muta out and SjoW GGs.
