NesTea attacks in, 2 spinecrawlers are built for symbol with a double queen block.
Symbol picks off all 4 banelings without losing anything of note. Nestea tries to attack into the drone line but Symbol pulls them quickly.
NesTea tries to attack the baneling nest but he's warded out with lings and banes. NesTea has already realised he's in trouble if he carries on so he's starting to drone at home.
NesTea expands. Symbol holds but can't really counter as he only has slow lings.
Game stabilises on 2 bases.

My dick just got rock hard watching symbol, follow the exact build order i made months ago to help my zvz.
hatch first,
drones before pool
bane nest before speed
with spines.

That hold couldn't have gone any better. I'm not sure Nestea killed *anything*.
Symbol had 13 drones, 2 spines and a ton of useless lings at the end. It did what it was supposed to, it just didn't kill him right away.

if only nestea was still a kt zerg
this game would've been over by now

So atleast quite even so the game will continue.

Symbol plays better the early game --> Nestea still ends up having more drones.

Play both and have the FR stream slightly lower in volume; works pretty well for this purpose.
Oh, and watch the FR stream as main visual, because it's ahead.

Yeah I'm shocked that Nestea is still even or maybe in the lead after how poorly that went for him.

Droning droning droning.
Both players going lair at a similar timing, NesTea slightly faster on his extra gas timings.
Symbol gets a zergling into NesTea's main and gets a full scout of what is going on.
Nestea getting an earlier +1 for his roaches, this time it's Symbol's turn to go for a spire.
NesTea scouts it almost immediately with an overseer.
Symbol taking a third, NesTea teching to infestors off 2 bases.

Mhm looking good for Symbol atm.

Amazing tournament, GG French

I think France is trying to take Symbol as their own as revenge for the USA stealing Stephano.

NesTea very well prepared for mutas. Building constant queens, has spore crawlers, and infestors popping out.
Symbol scouts no third from NesTea.
Starting to look like we could see a roach/queen/infestor push from NesTea.
Symbol counter attacks the nat but NesTea defends well.
Oh shit, it is a Roach/Queen/Infestor timing for NesTea. Giant 2 base all in! Symbol can't really hold it at home so counters for a base trade with his ling muta!!

Wow... ZvZ is actually REALLY FUN to watch right now!
|
Well this is just the best ZvZ i've seen in ages. Iron squid really lucking out here :D
|
Did symbol just win this game? wtf lol?
|
|
|
Nestea really made a mess of this base trade.
