Morrow had got to 3 base into lair by then. mana built a VR and went overlord hunting, 3 phoenix joined in, killed quite a few overlords, 7 or 8, Morrow slowly dealt with it with queens and a couple of spore crawlers and macroed through it with a 4th base + 90 drones @ 10 min mark. mana still didn't attack even though he must've seen no army for Morrow, built up his own deathball, stalker, sentry, zealot, couple of colossus @14min. Morrow kept up macro econ + tech, hive - now has an amy of ling, infestor and 9 corrupters @ 14min starts greater spire. Plus adds some roaches to the army mix. Critical moment @16min, Mana warp prism with 4 zealots +1 att drop onto morphing greater spire (can't warp in anything else because he's supply blocked), Morrows army out of position in middle of map, Greater spire is defended by drones and a couple of queens, 3 transfusions barely keep it alive in the red before the zealots are cleaned up. @20mins big engagement, Morrow rolls over Mana's deathball with nice fungals, lings, roaches and 10 broodlords. ling reinforcements and remains of morrows higher tier units clean up most of mana's warp in reinforcements as well. Has about a 50 supply lead - game goes on until about 28 mins until mana gg's game 2 + Show Spoiler + mana forge expand plus 1 cannon, Morrow 13 pool 20 hatch, Mana wallin with 2 cannons, morrow goes to 3 base, mana goes to 5 gate plus colossus tech @9min Morrow techs to banes plus drops @13min Morrow splits army into 2, - 5 overlords full of lings goes to drop main while roaches go to mana's wallin. Ling drop gets repelled, roaches take out forge, Morrow pulls both armies back. Mana pushes out with his stalker plus colossus to try to get some map control but ends up pulling back. Morrow finally morphs some banelings, adds infestors to his roach army, fills 10 overlords with banelings  Mana has about 30 stalkers plus 5 colossus, it starts to banerain and all 5 bunched up colossus evaporate plus half his stalkers, roaches clean up the rest. Morrow pulls back 174 to 116 supply in Morrow's favour, Morrow on 4 base, mana just starting his 4th. Morrow makes about 8 corrupters to handle the new couple of colossus, Morrow pushes in and wipes out Mana's army again (roach, infestor, ling + corrupters) - a few more battles occur, Morrow always has at least a 60 supply lead but it's basically over, mana gg's after a few mins when he's had enough of being strangled and abused. getting bored now, mana isn't aggressive enough, and morrow takes full advantage and gets to do whatever he wants. game 3 + Show Spoiler + Both same openings, forge expand and 13 pool 20 hatch. This time the first 4 lings get past the just finishing cannon at the expansion into main base because it's a smaller map. 3 get in kill one probe, remaining 2 remain very annoying for a few mins and pick off 3 more probes, delays mana's tech as he doesn't want to show what he's doing whilst lings remain alive. mana does get aggressive earlier this game @10 min attacks morrows 3rd with stalker, sentry army. Morrow lets it die and counters with roaches and lings to deny mana's 3rd whch is warping in. he leaves lings to deny 3rd and walks into mana's expansion with a load of roaches as mana's army tries to return home. Mana's army finally makes it back to see expansion die and a mass of roaches destroying his main nexus. So to summarise, mana got aggressive took out Morrow's 3rd. Morrow countered and denied 3rd and killed mana's main and expansion's nexus'. Mana throws his army at Morrows main, Morrow holds, gg. So yeah i guess i can understand why he was so passive in the first two games game 4 + Show Spoiler + nope game 5 + Show Spoiler + still nope | ||

Morrow Vs Idra in Semi-finals, and I don't think Morrow can beat Idra ZvT. ZvZ? Maybe, because it is volatile and all, but ZvT? Idra's ZvT looks to be as clean as it gets, but we will see. He won TvZ against idra during the regular season so he may do it again  | ||

Have seen some great series, and the fact they were all bo5 makes all of them much more satisfying. I think the games were presented to us more than adequately, and I can't for the life of me understand why people were going nuts over such minor issues. Thanks NASL for bringing good starcraft to me. This is like saying: Why are people buying Nike clothes, and not clothes from an unknown company which are worse at producing clothes, charges higher prices and doesn't have any intelligent marketing. Of course NASL is gonna fail. Its just a really really bad product compared to its competitors. Lucikly for NASL the competion on live tournaments isn't that high, as there is less than 1 per week. If the competion was harder noone would watch NASL. At least 30k people are watching it offline. | ||

I have membership and sure there are vods, just one minor issue, NASL takes on average 7-14 days to upload vods.

Also did the crowd pick up at the later matches or was it still less than 40 guys? Someone recorded IdrA's entrance and put it on youtube, EG tweeted it out earlier. | ||

Seriously NASL, if you can control the Brackets, why would you make us watch two PvP's before getting into the good stuff? | ||
