Socke played that sick, something that the casters didn't notice so much when Socke was moving forward with those 'Random" storms was that each and every time he had only just sent zealots into a mineral line so he was diverting ThorZains attention. I have loved his PvT since release, he was one of the only top level Protoss that was looking for ways to expand quickly and was in his element late game (In a time when Terran was stomping fucking everything) and he was never willing to rush, always thinking 5 moves or minutes ahead of his opponent. Like that last game while the zealot harass was going on he got 2 free storms on a clump of 8-10 vikings while throwing down a second robo ready to boost colo production. He also got maybe 6-7 half storms onto some ghosts/units and when the first big fight happened almost all the medi's had little energy (Only the cloaked ghosts and lack of a forward pylon made the game last another 5 minutes at that stage). Sorry for the long response but the way Socke plays lategame PvT is just so meticulous and well-planned that i always enjoy it
