Interesting that Nani is doing the three Stargates and not two Stargates and chargealots like sOs, who he loves, often does.

Nah, sOs and Alicia did 3 stargate void rays after FFE into zealot archon void ray storm. Nerchio must have made mutas :D


Hmm, you sure? I think I've seen a lot of sOs builds that are zealot-heavy.

I remember sOs vs Soulkey(from WCS S1 finals semis, not WCS KR disaster) series and sOs vs KangHo one
Short summary: essentially Soulkey played against it with muta-corruptor mid game with appropriate transition in late game (be it SHs, Ultras or more mutas :D).


Yeah, I am thinking of gate openers. But I can never remember series like that. He probably has several different openings and skytoss builds.

I meant that nerchio should have attacked nani sooner (also no quick third) the term ''bust'' is misleading in starcraft :p

i am not quite sure if he saw the third because he was running around with his ~20 lings and the nexus was building when nani couldnt even break down the debris with his sentrys, he could have easily cancelled if he saw it, couldn't he?


Yeah i was surprised about that too,i don't think he saw the third,which is weird with 20 glings.
But i guess he kinda knew.

The only difference i have seen in Nani's build here and sOs play at WCS KR and WCS S1 finals is the different opening with sOs going for FFE in games i have seen, and Nani opting for gateway exp into 3 gate aggression. Similarly greedy third, 3 stargates and same transition. Nani surely likes sOs builds :D

I missed the game, did NaNi crush Nerchio?


Yes.

Nerchio took a pretty quick third (3:50) and held the 3-gate attack from Nani. He (theorycrafting) expected another attack as a followup and kept his lings in the middle of the map.

Nani did not attack, he took a sub-9 minute mark third instead and added two starports for a total of three.

Nerchio failed to take down the third and he attacked too late to dismantle the VR army from Nani. Nani dealt the killing blow with a maxed VR/archon/ht/chargelot army.

Nerchio's entire army was countered by ht's, archons, and zealots. He really needed something else, or a massive supply lead with a good concave. Obviously he had neither.

I feel like Nerchio might have been able to punish Nani's fast 3rd with speedlings.

Also, Nerchio's economy was damaged because he made 25 useless lings. I think that's a big part of the story as well.

That's the largest part of story actually.
EDIT: Woah, burrow.
Okay, congratulations to Naniwa.
