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.

17:00 - Leenock lands a nydus in Life's main base as Life goes for the counter attack. Leenock's hydra den finishes as he shreds Life's main base. Leenock traps Life's infestators with a sick flank from his own infestators! Life is pushing into Leenock's natural but Leenock throws down mass spines at his third base.

18:00 - SHIT IS GOING DOWN GUYS. Life has 2 drones but the slightly larger army! Leenock's own +2 ranged attack finishes as Life forces his way into Leenock's third base. Life has no income and Leenock has 600 minerals and 200 gas comin' in.

19:00 - Life doesn't finish off Leenock's natural or main hatcheries, which may prove to be his undoing. Life has no infestors of his own and is on entirely roach/hydra. Leenock has mining and a huge infestor count.

20:00 - Life pushes back across the map after protecting his remaining buildings, but Leenock is stabilizing. A ton of infested terrans come out as Life's inferior roach/hydra army falls to Leenock's infested terrans. Life GGs out.

Leenock's superior decision making, micro and macro reflects his experience in the GSL,. I've definitely seen Leenock play better but the player who makes the least mistakes almost always wins. Life didn't look too hot in this series, but as Wolf and Khaldor pointed out, with Life in StarTale now, this certainly won't be the last we see of him.
