By choosing 1gate expand, Nony is being really smart. Most Z v P games now focus on dealing with FFE, and Zergs are not used to seeing the 1gate expand. Some, like Moon, may misread and prepare for a 4gate Zealot/Sentry push. Also, it messes with the timings that Zerg players are used to (later 3rd hatch- unless you want to gamble with a super-fast 3rd and hope it's a 1gate expo instead of a 3 or 4gate). As a result, Moon made roaches too soon instead of hitting that 60-65 drone count and maxing at 12. Nony is definitely using the metagame to his advantage.

Man, that overlord spot is so annoying for toss. No way to kill it even when you know its there. This is coming from a Z player. I put one there every game.

I love DeMusliM's voice inflection during casts.

Nony may have killed the third hatch, but like no drones AND lost 4 sentries which is even more big since he didn't forge FE. Think moons in a great position.

He got 8 drones. But Nony needed to get the hell out of there

Nony would be scary if he was a bit more refined mechanically, still can win this but it'll be pretty tough

looks like TL is eliminated

Fnatic/slayers/Mouz are clinched by my count.

I wouldn't blame Hero he had to go against Alive. Zenio on the other hand should have taken that series, but then again Hyul's skill is unknown right now.
