ZerO vs Alive

Invisible Terran No. 2 fighting!

The map is Whirlwind.
ZerO starts in the bottom left position, Alive starts cross-map in the top right position.

4:00min
Alive goes for Command Center first on the low-ground, ZerO goes for Hatch first, then Extractor and Pool
Alive goes for a single Rax and fast Refinery.

8:00min
ZerO goes for Speed while Alive builds his Factory and Reactor at the Tech Lab while already taking his 2nd Refinery
Alive builds his third CC in his Natural, a Starport and starts 2 Widow Mines with the Factory on the Reactor

ZerO goes for Roach Warren and a third base while Alive builds more Widow Mines and a Medivac, also starting 2 E-Bays
ZerO builds 8 Roaches and sends them cross map

10:00min
Widow Mines get dropped into the natural, no detection at all for ZerO, 5 Drones and a queen get killed
ZerO tries to attack with the Roaches but Alive defends with a Bunker and some Widow Mines

Alive drops into the natural again but the Medivac gets taken out by a Spore Crawler and Queen and ZerO is able to defend without taking much damage.

12:00min
Alive starts killing Overlords with a Viking and moves out with a small amount of Bio+Medivacs to take his third.
ZerO stays active on the map with his Roaches and is able to deny a small Widow-Mine run-by

14:00min
ZerO goes for Spire and Mutas.
Alive drops 2 Medivacs full of Bio into ZerO's main, ZerO couldn't scout it in time because of that Viking killing the Overlords earlier in the game.
ZerO adds more Mutas for a total of 10. Alive starts to move out on the map and clear some creep

16:00min
Alive attacks ZerO's third while ZerO runs down on the other side of the map, attacking Alive's third
Alive uses widow mines and bio-pick ups to kill off ZerO's banelings and is able to take out ZerO's third.
At the same time Widow Mines and Bio reinforcement defend Alive's third since ZerO hasn't got an Overseer with his army

18:00min
Alive tries to attack ZerO's 4th but ZerO got too many Banelings.
Alive attacks ZerO's third again but ZerO defends with Lings and Mutas

20:00min
Alive finally finishes his 4th CC
Alive is constantly reinforcing and attacking with Bio+Mines, ZerO is not able to counter-pressure Alive at all.

Finally ZerO moves out with the Mutas to attack Alive's third but Alive takes the opportunity to attack ZerOs third and 4th base at the same time.

ZerO kills Alive's third but loses his own third and 4th at the same time.
Alive now dropps the main and natural. The mutas try to come back to defend the drops but fly over some widow mines and most of them die

22:00min
Really tense game, a lot of engagements all over the map but Alive takes a huge supply-lead. Both players are on 3 bases.

ZerO is behind and tries to attack Alive's third but cannot push in
Alive drops the main again but gets denied. Widow Mines are burrowed in several pathes of the map, killing lings, mutas and banelings everywhere

Alive still with the huge supply-lead, now pushing into ZerO's third

26:00min
Crazy low-econ game, both players not able to take a 4th at the moment.
Alive is still ahead with almost maxed to 130 supply

28:00min
ZerO transitions into Infestors but Alive does a huge attack and the banelings are not able to connect with the Marines. Marauders tank most the damage and ZerO loses the rest of his ground units and his third base (again)

ZerO does a desperation counter-attack with his Mutas but he has almost no minerals left, no mining base and only a few Infestors against Alive's huge bio-mine-army

As his last Infestors fall, ZerO leaves the game.
We are going to the ace-match!

Serious question, I think you can't target them?

Yes you can.
You can target with Mine.

first widow mine drop flew through 4 overlords, zero had units in position, still killed like 10-15 drones

From what I saw it didn't kill more than 7tops.

Ace should be Alive. He's quite good all around when on form (as he seems to be today) especially in TvP. Woongjin seems to be strongest in their protoss lineup too.
