What could he have made and WHERE was he going to make it? Even if he attempted to make something there is no way it would have finished because his army was way too small.

walled his ramp and built some bunkers in top right expo. Returned his marines and hellions. Sangho did not know that his expo was up for a while. and he couldve gone into banshee with the starport in the bottom right. But happy threw away the game when he decided to attack the nexus in the first place.

Mvp
TvZ Lifetime: 58.59%
TvZ 2012-2013: 50.94%
TvZ Last 10: 10%

soO
ZvT Lifetime: 50.00%

Well, here we go again. Mvp is in Code A and he has to fight his way through to make it to Code S in time for Heart of the Swarm. This is one of those high pressure matches - do or die. There is no Up & Down cushion for Mvp, a loss means he is sent straight down to Code B, the land from which even the very best players can fail to advance. A win means he is through to the Round of 32 and the Up & Down safety net becomes open to him.

His opponent is KeSPA Zerg soO who plays for team SKT Telecom T1. soO's notable accomplishment is winning the MLG MvP Invitational, but he did it on the back of his strong ZvP. Sure, soO has a great record against Terran foreigners, but against Korean Terrans, soO's record is mediocre. Here is a list of soO's games against Korean Terrans (not counting SeleCT):

soO 1-1 PuMa
soO 0-2 aLive
soO 4-1 BaBy
soO 4-3 Flash
soO 0-2 Bomber
soO 1-0 INoVation
soO 0-1 Kop
soO 0-1 sKyHigh
soO 1-0 Last
soO 0-1 INoVation

Record against KeSPA Terrans: 10-7
Record against eSF Terrans: 1-5

soO is a KeSPA player, meaning that soO will improve rapidly. However, soO just has not been one of the best KeSPA players (like Flash, Fantasy, RorO, JangBi, Argo, Cure, Rain, and more). Also, soO just does not have that much experience facing the best Korean Terrans.

Mvp, on the other hand, has been suffering from bad problems lately. Winning only 1 out of his last TvZ games, Mvp's form has been a disaster. Everyone knows that Mvp has been suffering from health issues, and everyone knows that his play has suffered because of it. However, there are no excuses now - the only thing that matters is winning.

Can Mvp pull himself together long enough to crush this KeSPA Zerg? Well, if the Mvp shows up that went 1-8 in Blizzard Cup, 1-4 in GSL Code S, and 0-3 in Iron Squid, then soO will send the King to Code B (for the first time ever). If the Mvp displays even a small fraction of his glory, then that should be more than enough to handle soO. Personally, I think Mvp will really get things together right at the brink of elimination. This isn't the first time he's been to Code A - in fact, he is in Code A quite frequently. However, he has only stayed in Code A once. Season after season, Mvp looks weak and vulnerable as he falls down to Code A. Season after season, Mvp pulls through his Code A matches back into the hardest league in the world. And once in a while (okay, maybe more like once every 3 seasons), Mvp decides to win it all.

Prediction
Mvp 2-1 soO

Look at the bright side about Flash winning, we get a Ryung vs. Flash bo3. Everyone should have been cheering for Flash in this series just because he gets to play against Ryung again.

7 marines 3 medivacs versus a bunch of gateway units and some immortals, as well as production capabilities. Let's be honest here...

Eh, I disagree. Perhaps Ryung has proven he has what it takes but I wanna see Flash get through Code A before saying that.
