Mirror builds so far, both players with the same unit count as well. 8:00min First real deviation: Squirtle adds a third Gate while Genius stays on 2. Genius moves out with his first 2 Phoenix and finally both players realize they played mirror build Squirtle engages with 3 Phoenix against Genius 2 and kills both of them Genius goes for a Robo and a 3rd Gate now while Squirtle decides to expand. | ||

Husky casted a LiquidHerovP game where it became Phoenix vs. Phoenix (Even with range upgrade). I don't remember from what the game came from though | ||

Valve funded that prize pool hoping the enormous amount of money being offered would give them the publicity they needed to start competing with League of Legends. That's a very different concept from the SC2 tournaments that are self-sufficient being paid for by third party sponsors as well as the fanbase. One model has long term viability, the other does not. Pretty much this. The fact that you see almost 5 million dollars over 500 or so tournaments means there's a lot of tournaments with a goodly amount of prize money going out. If you had that 5 million and only like 10 tournaments, that'd be bad, because in the pro scene if you didn't get money off of one of those tournaments you'd probably be completely out of luck. With so many tournaments, though, it gives a chance for smaller scenes to grow, because you're not going to have MKP, MC et al flying out to Kekderp, Idaho to play in a tournament offering 5k to the winner, but 5k isn't bad for someone trying to get started. | ||

Genius has almost now Stalkers and Sentries because of investing that much Gas into Phoenix. It's 11 Phoenix for Genius now against 7 for Squirtle, Genius kept his Phoenix count hidden. Huge fight at Genius natural! Genius wins the air battle convincingly but Squirtle takes the ground battle. It's Phoenix vs Stalker now. With good focus fire Squirtle snipes one Phoenix after another and takes a huge lead. Genius tries to hold with Stalker warpins and his last few Phoenix but Squirtle is too far ahead now. Squirtle does the offensive Blink and takes the game and therefore the series with a score of 2-0! | ||
