Game 1:

Life vs Leenock
on <Crux Daybreak>

0:00 - FXO's Leenock spawns on the bottom half of Daybreak as Startale_Life spawns on the top half.

2:00 - No early pool's this game as Leenock hatch firsts to Life's 15(?) pool.

3:00 - No gas yet for Life as he takes his own natural. Leenock's pool starting as Life's finishes up. Leenock takes a gas, Life still gasless but with the earlier queen. Life takes his gas at 3:30, which seems pretty late.

4:00 - Life moving out on the map with his initial lings as Leenock starts his zergling speed wayyy ahead of Life. Life tries to get a drone kill but the Leenocktopus denies it with some drone micro and the queen in his natural.

5:00 -Leenock starts his baneling nest and Life starts a baneling nest and his speed. Leenock's speed is already haflway done. Leenock going up to three queens. Both players going up to lair and taking more gases. Leenock going to 4 gases and life is only going to 2.

Game 2:

Life vs Leenock
on <Crux Atlantis Spaceship>

0:00 - Startale_Life on the bottom left with FXO's Leenock on the top area..place... on the map.

1:00 - Life goes for an extractor trick again whereas Leenock does the standard 9 ovie. Bit of a stylistic difference.

2:00 - Two overlords pass like boats in the night, tentacles almost touching.. Wait... I'm supposed to be LRing. Both playres go hatch first, Life takes a gas right after and Leenock follows up with a slightly later gas. Both zergies throw down their pools.

3:00 - Pretty standard so far as both players scout each other's mains with their respective overlords.

4:00 - Speed and two queens for each player starting at roughly the same time, Leenock throws down the baneling nest. Life still baneling nestless.

5:00 - Life starts his baneling nest as Leenock's finishing up. Leenock almost snipes an overlord in his base but Life's super sick ovie micro saves it.

6:00 - Life throws down a spine crawler, Leenock still doesn't have one. Lings start attacking each other in the middle of the map. Life loses the first battle and retreats to his base. Both players morphing banelings as the dreaded ling/baneling wars begin. Lairs start for both players.

7:00 -Life lets 2 banelings get into his mineral line! Leenock kills 7 drones. Life gets too greedy and refuses to move his drones. Leenock takes a substantial lead as he's ahead by 5 workers now.

8:00 - Both players lairs finish, Life's is slightly ahead. Life throws down an infestation pit and Leenock goes straight to spire again. +1 range weapons starting for Life

9:00 - Pathogen glands starting for Life as Leenock takes his third base. +1 range attack and Pathogen glands will finish around the same time.

10:00 - Leenock runs into Life's base with zerglings but doesn't manage to kill anything because he mismicros his lings. Almost sniped a queen though! Leenock does scout the infestation pit though. Life throws down a roach warren as he starts his third base.

11:00 - Life mismicroing hard as Leenock's lings force a fungal and kill an infestor. Leenock approaches life's third base with about 10 mutas. Spores finishing up for Life as he cancels his third base. Life starts a hydra den.

12:00 - Leenock throws down an infestation pit of his own as Life throws down his third again. Leenock takes his third in the base with 3 geysers. Leenock pretty far ahead.

13:00 - Life's hydra den finishes up as Leenock almost forces another cancel on Life's weakened third. Life defends against a muta attack with his infestors in postion at his third.

14:00 - Leenock makes 12 infestors and starts roach speed and +1 air attacks. Life getting hydras out and his own roach speed. Leenock's superior economy is tarting to show as he takes a 20 supply lead over Life.

15:00 - Unless Life wins a major engagement, he might not make it out of this game, and the series. Leenock taking his fourth base and starts a nydus network. Burrow finishing up for Leenock in time with his roach speed and +1 ranged attack.

16:00 - Life's +2 range attack is about halfway done as he starts making mass roach/infestator.
