Soulkey, props to you man. You played well and with a bit more time, you will be competing with these guys.

Gumiho such a boss with his scrappy play style, he must be frustrating as hell to play against as he never lets his opponent dictate the game to him.

8:00min
Soulkey builds his Baneling Nest now while killing the Bunker with a lot of Lings
Gumiho builds 2 Bunkers behind his Barracks wall while Soulkeys Roaches pop and move across the map

10:00min
Gumiho builds a 3rd and a 4th and even a 5th Bunker
Soulkey builds some Banelings and tries to break the wall while going back to droning and a third base at home

Soulkey didn't build enough Banelings and the wall holds with a lot of SCV repair!

Gumiho builds Siege Tanks and a Starport now with his Double-Upgrades almost finished

12:00min
Gumiho knocks down the rocks between his natural and third and takes his third base. Soulkey is up to 73 Drones now with a few of Roaches and starts Roach Speed after finishing his Lair
With 1-1 upgrades, Infestor energy and burrow on the way Soulkey pumps out another round of Drones and builds his 4th

14:00min
Gumiho still macros up at home, allowing Soulkey to stay greedy. Soulkey techs up to hive while Gumiho builds another 3 Command Centers and takes his 4th

16:00min
Gumiho goes for a 2-Medivac drop in the natural of Soulkey while Soulkey is out on the map trying to pressure Gumiho's 4th
Soulkey backs off and defends his Natural but that allowed Gumiho to push into Soulkey's 4th.
Gumiho takes out Soulkey's 4th, 5th and still does damage witha few Marines at the natural

With a huge attack Soulkey cleans up Gumiho's army but Gumiho already pushes out with another army while dropping the Natural again.

18:00min
Gumiho cleans a lot of Creep and backs off while Soulkey is trying to get his 4th and 5th up again. Gumiho now adds Ghosts to his unit composition while Soulkey builds Ultralisks. Gumiho delayed his 3-3 upgrade so Soulkey is ahead on the research at the moment

20:00min
Gumiho drops at the 5th and Natural now and kills the building Greater Spire and the 5th
Nukes hit the 4th and some Infestors and Lings and Gumiho tries to EMP some Infestors with the still cloaked Ghosts

22:00min
Gumiho attempts to push into Soulkeys 4th again but Soulkey can take out a lot of Bio and Siege Tanks while these units are split from the rest of the army and Gumiho retreats.
Soulkey could build a 5th base hidden behind the destructible rocks on the right side but his other attempt of expanding to the left gets denied by a drop once more

24:00min
Huge engagment in the mid goes in Soulkey's favor since a lot of Gumiho's units are split from the army in drops.

Soulkey is able to snipe the tanks split from the Bio again but Gumiho snipes the 4th with the Bio. Soulkey is able to kill the rest of the army but Gumiho is already maxed out again with units being all over the map

26:00min
Soulkey finally was able to tech up to broodlords and dodges a nuke with them to pressure Gumiho's 4th while defending a Bio-runby with his Ultra-Infestors army

28:00min
Soulkey is only mining from one base now and Vikings snipe the Broodlords at Gumiho's 4th and with a snipe on the overseer the Ghosts and the Bio army are able to clean up the Ultralisks but a few Roaches and the Infestors are able to retreat

30:00min
Gumiho pressures Soulkeys mining base behind the rocks while dropping marauders into Soulkeys natural to snipe tech and landing Vikings at Soulkeys 4th, now even adding a drop at Soulkeys third while still macroing up and staying maxed

32:00min
Soulkey moves some burrowed Infestors into Gumiho's 5th, trying to snipe the Planetary with Infested Terrans while Gumiho Nukes the 5th of Soulkey. Also a drop at the 4th forces Soulkey out of position and Gumiho drops the 5th again while landing Vikings at another Expansion attempt on the left side. A lot of burrowed Infestors get killed by Gumiho

34:00min
Man this game is hard to follow. Gumiho drops again and keeps Soulkey down to one mining base again and a Nuke hits a lot of Drones at Soulkeys 4th again

36:00min
Soulkey cleans up Gumihos army in the middle and a HUGE Nuke hits the last of Soulkeys workers at his 4th. Soulkey has now no income again but still a huge army of Infestors and Ultralisks but Gumiho is 60 supply up now and has a lot of Ghosts
38:00min
Vikings snipe the Overseer, Gumiho pushes now with a huge Bio-Ghost-army, kills the 4th Hatchery and retreats again

Final Battle in the middle of the map!
EMPs hit everything and the Bio-army cleans up all the Ultralisks with a huge Concave!

GUMIHO WINS ANOTHER EPIC GAME
and therefore the series with 2-0!

End of terran tears? I sure hope so. Gumiho looks unbeatable

Because someone who's already very established needed 40+ minutes twice, in the second game even with an insane advantage to begin with against a good but not yet top Zerg? Certainly...^^

Soulkey... KILL THE MEDIVACS *facepalm* this is the biggest reason him losing. Kept letting the medivacs go.

He had no energy to fungal them, due to him constantly needing to use fungal to deal with the cloaked ghosts. solution: make more overseers! :D

Well, to be honest not many terrans play like Gumiho. I think Soulkey is really good and could take on great code S terrans. today, nukes owned him crippling his econ so hard.

I take back my words yesterday regarding Soulkey. Even in loss against Gumiho he looked very very impressive. I really hope Reality does put up a good impression as well.
