07:00 Taeja's marine in the middle sees sentries coming, Taeja reinforcing ramp with missile turret and depots

07:30 Crank's attack starts, forcefields on bunkers, no repair

08:10 Taeja lost one bunker but pushed Crank back

16:00 Taeja has ghost academy, starts producing vikings, templar archive is done but no storm yet

20:20 Armies meet in middle, back off, Crank's army moving to Taeja's fourth

21:00 Big battle at Taeja's fourth that just died, large bio force manages to beat Crank's army of colossi, archons, chargelots but fourth is lost as well as third

22:00 Taeja now on two base against five

23:00 Big Taeja drop at Crank's fifth, supply now 145 Crank to 90 Taeja

23:30 Taeja's drop fails, Taeja GGs.

A lot of action that I couldn't capture, but the DT warpins forced lift on third, almost killed fourth so the army could clean it up, killed tons of SCVs and crippled

Taeja. That was the big turning point.

Demuslim - MKP game 2

00:00 Cloud Kingdom, Demuslim spawns top right, MKP bottom left

03:00 MKP builds CC on high ground after rax, no gas

04:00 Demuslim has built factory off of one gas and exchanges with reactored rax

04:30 Demuslim building starport, starting hellion production, still on one gas

05:30 Two hellions move into MKP's natural, see nothing

19:45 MKP pulls back from Demuslim's side of the map

21:00 MKP loads up an enormous drop at the middle but it's spotted by Demuslim and MKP pulls back

22:00 So much happening, I'm sorry that I can't describe everything. Behind all the action and positioning, MKP had gone up to 5 bases with Demuslim on 4. Demuslim had a tank line outside his fourth with two packs on marine on either side, trying to lure MKP into the tank fire and then pincering him with the marines. But MKP had superior supply and dropped his marines on the tanks instead of walking into the trap, taking out the marines with his own tank positioning and cleaning up Demuslim. Demuslim GGs.

MKP - Demuslim 2-0

I missed the first half of game 1 so no complete LR, but Eifer built a proxy robo to attack with immortals but MKP went cloaked banshee, no detection in Eifer's base and a failed immortal bust meant quick GG.
