It was simpler than that.
Sase rushed out 3 zealots and a stalker to Coca's 3rd base at an odd timing. Coca got caught with his pants down. No defensive units, no speed, no roach, no spine, nothing. He ended up using drones to hold off against 3 zealots and a stalker. It was painful to watch.
Lost drones, queen, overlords, and a lot of slowlings. Coca fell very far behind very quickly, and never recovered.
He didn't rush out zealots at all. His timing was extremely late because he went double forge and honestly, there shouldn't have been a push in the first place. Coca outsmarted himself and went greedy.
The push was late for a gateway first, but it wasn't late at all - it still hit earlier than a normal 4gate from a nexus-forge or forge-nexus (instead of gateway-nexus). Very cool style though.

I'm rooting for Mana but I don't see him winning unless some crazy stuff happens, SeleCt I BELIEVE!! I've seen Daisy play, he's really good, but I don't see him winning over First, and Coca shouldn't have much trouble, unless Sase plays like a boss.
That awkward moment when you make predictions in the thread when the games are already over ;o

Well that is the main function of gateway expands: they create a new set of timings that zergs are not used to dealing with.
Just watched Hack Mana, pretttttty one sided. I like Hack's constant aggression in TvP, particularly the early 6-8 marine push he does before a second sentry.

So his timing wasn't "Extremely late" as you said. -_-
