8 Mutas in production for Shine, he also builds a macro-hatch and +1 carepace

14:00-16:00min
Shine has missile turrets and Mines but Shine is able to get into the natural and kill some SCVs and get out
Keen has a defensive Widow Mine field and builds more Marines, Mines and Medivacs while continuing to upgrade on 2 E-Bays
Shine takes a 4th base and continues upgrading on a single Evo-Chamber

16:00-18:00min
Keen starts pushing out by moving his Widow Mines and hits a bunch of Lings and Banelings but loses almost every single Mine in the process
Shine techs to Hive and adds an Infestation Pit and Pathogen Glands

Keen keeps pushing and denying Creep with his Marines and Medivacs and with more Mines reinforcing he is able to push quite far onto the creep

18:00-20:00min
Shine builds a lot of defensive Banelings and tries to go for a counter-attack with his mutas
Shine loses a lot of units to the Mines but he has too many reinforcements and pushes Keen back

20:00-22:00min
Shine wants to push into Keen's third but has to back off as Keen has too many units there
Keen goes for the counter-attack and pushes the Creep further back but Shine kills off more units with ling-bling-,ita
Both players are at around 180 supply, Shine has a huge bank of 2k minerals and gas though

Huge engagement at the 4th of Keen, both players lose almost all of their units but Shine keeps a bunch of Mutas alive and harasses the SCVs at the 4th

22:00-24:00min
Shine starts Ultralisk production and adds Infestors with his huge bank, Keen is now 20 supply behind Shine
Mutalisks keep harassing Keen's natural and main, Keen starts a double Medivac drop into Shine's 5th while attack the 4th with Marines and Mines

Shine cleans up the attack at the 4th and tries to do a ling-runby to kill some SCVs

24:00-26:00min
Keen keeps dropping and kills off some Queens and Drones and additional bases
Shine is running around, trying to defend and as he got most of his units in the main, Keen attacks at the 4th and kills of a lot of Ultralisks and Infestors
Keen has to back off since he has almost no Medivacs left

Shine is behind on supply now and asks for a pause.

Looks like Shine needed a pause because he's sweating too much and sweat is dropping into his eyes, making it hard for him to see. He receives a warning for the pause and the game goes on.

26:00-28:00min
Shine loses a lot of units to Keen's attack on the 4th, he takes some damage to a drop in the main as well
Shine builds a lot of Mutas and is able to push Keen back once again

Shine goes for a counter-attack with his Mutas but Keen deflects him with his reinforcments
The mutas are able to snipe off a floating Orbital for Keen as he tried to expand to a 5th base

Shine has taken his 5th base again and tries to go for a 6th as well
Shine reinforces with a few Ultralisks and is able to trade evenly with Keen's army with some Fungals but Keen has taken a 30 supply lead now

32:00-24:00min
Shine denies mining at Keen's 4th which is his last mining base
Keen goes for a huge attack at Shine's 5th with Mines and Marines and Marauders
Shine loses a bunch of Mutas to Mines but Keen still has to back off as Shine has too many Ultras and Infestors

Both players have around 100 supply of army and 50 supply of Workers now
Keen has kinda useless Mines burrowed everywhere

at some point it is the GSL's fault tho, if they can't provide a reasonable amount of cooling in the booth

Cooling in the booths? Have you seen where the casters have to get dressed according to that Khaldor Video with the new studio?

shine's multitask is pretty crazy, this 3-3 muta/ultra/infestor might win him the game

0-1 thors vs 3-3 mutas :D

even a 0/0 thor with 1 or 2 turrets would hold off most muta harassment at that base.

That PP killed Keen. He landed perfect FG after that, and it snowballed.

haha thats so cool, why use lings for addition damage if you can get mutas that are almost immune to mines with regene.
Grats shine, but hoped for keen making it through.
