It was a nice game, key moment was the half hearted attack of symbol, he should have either waited reinforcements or not attack at all imo.

6:00-8:00min
Maru moves out with his first 2 Hellions, scouts the third and starts Stim
Marauder in production for Maru, Reactors at the Raxes, third Refinery and Starport

Ferrarilords scouts everything Maru does
Symbol builds a bunch of Roaches and pushes the Hellions away

8:00-10:00min
single E-Bay for Maru, double Evo for Symbol
Baneling Nest and Lair started for Symbol

Maru pushes out with 6 Hellions, a few Marauders, a bunch of Marines and 2 Medivacs
Symbol builds defensive Lings and Banes

10:00-12:00min
Symbol attacks Maru's army with his Lings and Banes, Maru immediately picks up and runs away
Maru once again tries to push in to clear some creep but has to lift off again

More Roaches, Roach-Speed and Bane-Speed on the way
third CC, Armory, 2nd E-Bay and Mines on the way for Maru

12:00-16:00min

120

121
Maru tries to harass the main and clear creep at the same time but Symbol is in position to defend
Maru reinforces offensively and tries to push some more but Symbol is only producing units now

Symbol pushes Maru back and goes for an attack on Maru's natural
Lots of Banelings in production, Maru only has a few defensive Mines and his Bio units

Symbol busts the natural wall and attacks with Banes and Roaches and mass Ling reinforcements
Maru is able to barely push Symbol back for now

2-2 finishes for Symbol, more Lings and Banes and Pathogen Glands in production

16:00-18:00min

148

136
Symbol stays on 3 bases and adds Infestors and Roaches to his army
Maru is finally able to take his third base and builds lots of Marine-Marauder

Maru pushes towards Symbol and Symbol engages him in the middle of the map. Fungals hit a lot of Medivacs but Maru is able to pull back to his Mines and Symbol loses a big chunk of his Banelings to some Mine hit

18:00-20:00min
Symbol finally takes his 4th base, Maru has his 4th CC finishing as well

130

123
Maru tries to counter-push again
Symbol reinforces with Lings and was able to keep his Infestors alive in the previous engagement

Ling-Infestor is able to push Maru back once more and Symbol pushes again

22:00-24:00min

152

148
Symbol pushes towards Maru's 4th and hits some great fungals but Symbol has no Banelings and not enough Lings so mass Medivacs heal through all of the fungal damage

Maru drops the main and attacks at the front

24:00-26:00min

158

Baneling landmines kill a chunk of the army as well
Symbol counter-pushes once again with a small supply lead

26:00-28:00min

150

90
that was a huge overcommitment by Symbol, Ultralisks and Infestors get caught by a massive amount of Marine-Marauder-Medivac off creep
Symbol tries to back off but stimmed Bio is on his heels and Maru keeps pushing forward

Symbol loses more and more units and is pushed back all the way to his natural
Maru reinforces and pushes forward and Symbol has to give up

Maru takes the game and the series with 3-1!

i feel like symbol started playing good after getting warmed up, i wonder what those games would have looked like if symbol played his best from the start. They were starting to get really close near the end.

In this case, I don't think it was a choice he wanted to make. Sometimes at end game when you are under pressure constantly, you feel like you need that 200/200 for units. Sometimes it is true, sometimes not. It def would have helped him. But Symbol definitely kept getting lazy vs widow mines in the late game.
