I would pronounce it Ksigua but that's just my finnish pronounciation

Just bad luck This was not bad luck it was bad play. He just kept streaming roaches into colossus while having a completed spire. If he had made muta or corruptor, or not made hydra, or dropped, or attacked on two fronts, or expanded, he would have won. Yep. If he made no hydra and spent those resources on 6 corrupter he wins.
My guess is that XiGua is not used to the tight build orders and macro of top Protoss players like Killer. He saw 4 DTs and that should mean a timing is open. A lesser Protoss would've had a few less units or a slower colossi and would've crumbled, and that's probably what XiGua was used to in practice matches.

Is killer going for that really strong immortal gateway build that ZenexAvenge was doing?
|
oh lord it's the warp prism + immortals + gateway 2 base all-in
|
|
SangHo really doesn't look that sharp, but XiGua's decisions aren't helping him. -_-
|
Oh god, Immortal Sentry push and Xigua goes roach as he's hella behind in the metagame. u_u
|
Killer gonna win 2-0, calling it.

5:00 Killer starts Robo as Xigua begins Evo Chamber and Overlord scouts the Robo Facility Starts a Warp Prism and adding on 7 gateways 3 Zealots and a Stalker dropped into the main, the queen barely escapes Now Killer is making Immortals as a lot of Roaches and Lings are out for Xigua, Warp Prism still flying around uncontested

Wow that was pretty bad by Killer to not just move the warp prism back a little when he backed up his army
|
Wow. Were Killer's forcefields bad, or was it because Xi used a lot of speedlings as well instead of mostly pure roach like other Z's have gone against this?
|

Yes Xigua! Defending the OP immortal sentry push, good work!
|
Never mind Killer fucked up bigtime, Xigua ahead.
