aLive with a double drop into MMA's main, he doesn't really get much damage done but it does pick off a few SCV's and he gets the viking to allow himself to lift back out.

1/1 done for aLive.

stim finally finished for MMA and he decides to push out with it. MMA has a definite army advantage, but aLive has managed to get tanks out so he can defend reasonably well.

aLive picks off a tank in the middle of the map.

MMA gets a great position at the back of aLive's base with a good siege and elevator into the main.

aLive counters with a drop and gets some more worker kills and a free tank.

aLive building a third but nothing for MMA yet.

aLive in a cagey position having to fend off an army that's halfway into his main, but he keeps harassing effectively with little marine forces.

MMA's taken a third to the north of his main, but aLive doesn't seem to know it's there. MMA rallying back to his own base to ward off counter attacks.

MMA still with a really good position outside aLive's main and aLive hasn't been able to take his own third CC.

MMA relinquishes his position on MMA's main and manages to run around to take positon on aLive's nat. aLive sort of expects it though so has tanks positioned defensively to fend it off.

aLive with a drop at the south of the map but there's nothing there for it to kill. Now finally flying to MMA's nat and actually getting quite a bit of damage done.

MMA about to take the upgrade lead with 2/2 vs 2/1

MMA's positioning is continuing to deny aLive from taking his third.

aLive finally takes air control with some vikings to start forcing back the contain. aLive picks off 5 tanks with a single medivac drop on top of them.

aLive finally breaks the contain and take his third

MMA's positioning this game has been stellar, even when he has less units/less tanks he's been able to force aLive to be defensive.

MMA tries to drop but aLive shuts it down convincingly.

aLive finally able to get good offensive positioning and he's able to deny MMA's third.

MMA counters by marine bombing the tanks defending aLive's third, aLive quickly pulls SCV's to defend but MMA stims in with his forces and is able to outright kill the third.

aLive down 40 supply after that having lost a ton of SCV's

MMA floating a base to the bottom of the map, aLive trying to expand to the south of his main but floats the CC out right into a bunch of marines. aLive's reinforcements save the CC but he still can't take the base.

aLive's army now defending nothing, he tries to reposition but runs into a ton of damage and loses a bunch of tanks for nothing.
