Symbol showing the kind of care for his units that you wish all zergs would.

Prompt burrowing and retreating of his infestors as soon as the energy is used etc etc.

Very low eco game from him, can't help but feel if he had a bit more power behind his reinforcement cycles he'd be overwhelming Kawaii. Then again perhaps he chose to do it this low eco because of the map.

Kawaii has very nice control as usual though and after about 6 rounds of ultra attacks he's got sooo many marauders that its starting to become inefficient for Symbol despite good control.

enjoyable game 2, g3 on tal'darim

This is a really old version. GSL actually uses the ladder version nowadays.

Probably TDA 1.0.

Narrower natural choke, 1 gas at the third.

Symbol vs Polt? Nice!

oh wow, going to see Polt play mech vs Zerg? This is seriously unexpected.

Polt playing such a cool style, opening mech, then adding a couple of rax back on for some bio support. 3 rax and 4 fact (2 reactor/2 tech)

Polt for his part is really handling tech transitions brilliantly and with perfect timing.

Dropping to kill the spawning pool was brilliant, Symbol has sooooo many minerals and didn't realise for so long.
