ssq pops the evo chamber, busting the wall, but there are now 2 queens alive poking at the hellions and transfusing one another to stay alive. a the spine crawler is also doing som really nice damagae and, all low, he hellions have to retreat. ssq has her expansion building, and now starts an elevator with hellions into the back of colagirl's main. colagirl has a spire on the way but no roaches at home. the hellions though aren't microd much and a huge swarm of queens forces them away. a second batch moes in but again doesnt do a ton of damage, and 2 banshees are on the way to try their luck. spire finishes about the same time as roach speed.

Ok.
That zerg wall-off is code S level.
I have to admit, that was truly impressive defense by colagirl. And I'm not impressed by zergs often.. >.>'

colagirl now moving in with a flock of mutas and roaches, with some lings, and ssq has almost no marines for some reason, ggs. colagirl takes 3rd!

Hmm pretty onesided, colagirl seems to be decent but ssq fell apart rather hard in that series.

i think he meant failing at eating xialongbao properly, and let me just say that it is seriously difficult to do it right.

Thanks for all the great coverage you did for this event!
Really appreciated!

Pretty shocked Colagirl isn't in the final, when I was watching Aphrodit she was pretty mediocre.

aphrodite doesn't end up going heavy banshees, instead going for tanks and siege while flo starts working on marauders and infantry upgrades, plus a starport. aphrodite moves out with 2 tanks, and a scouting barracxs to give vision of the high ground (what ssq lacked in her match against colagirl. aphrodite sets up below the main and shells away at one of th ebarracks, shutting down the ramp. flo moves forward with 5 scvs and some marines on low ground, marauders on high ground, and breaks the first line, but aphrodite has reinforcements set up towards the watch tower.

flo sets up again in her old position but the marauders on the high ground are doing a good job of keeping the tank count limited, and flo doesn't even really need the scvs she pulled - probably losst them needlessly to a fleet of hellions. the hellions run around outsid ethe nat but a bunker with marauders scare them off. this time aphrodite positions her next tank further away from the high ground but marauders still take it out. flo on 2 bases and about 40 scvs to aphrodite's 25 and just starting nat, despite having sacced scvs multiple times. flo pulling marines to save her barracks and stimming forward some marauders to keep the tank count low. doing a great job of preventing the critical mass of tanks, but a serious force of hellions is starting to build up. flo sees them move in and evacuates the nat, and the hellions for some reason stay on the low ground? can flo set up a wall and defend it from the siege tanks?

Hey Kelly, check your distance from the mic, it got a little loud when you were getting hype.

aphrodiet starts building a wall with her cc, and as her medvacs start to pop out she loads up 4 marauders. a viking pushes away the scouting barracks, and flo drops marauders in the main of aphroidte,s but the korean runs her huge hellon fource into flo's main. there are too many marauders for that attack to work, and she retreast to the saftey of her tanks. flo not really mining, not sure why. sets up adrop on the ntanks with marauders and marines, , but now the hellions move into the scv line while all hte infantry are away. its' a scv massacre, and flo can't produce fast enough to keep up with aphrodite's army. her tank count nnever got really high but the steady flow of hellions was able to wreak enough havoc that flo had to gg. 1-0 aphrodite.

Yeah, she cakewalked group play without dropping a game 5-0 and she got screwed by single elimination. Looks like Aphrodite prepared well with some RainbOw support.
