I hate hate hate the current map pool if you're not a zerg player. I've said that a lot lately though

Ooooooooh in PvT. That was actually a sick, amazing build. He faked a fakeout build.

It actually wasn't as rage inducing as a blink all -in into Dt's on a 4 player map with like a 180 degree main radius (inferno pools)

12:00 Life 104 vs soO 128 soO tries again between Life's third and natural. This time, he manages to bust through to the third and start killing drones.
13:00 Life GG's! soO takes a 1-0 lead!

The cool thing about that build was that he used both the map (to fake the immortal all in) and then the metagame. It was popular for a while to fake an immortal all in and tech to dark shrine behind it. I believe Flash saw the twilight council and was completely fooled since Trap got storm instead.

I think that is the case too, It's just such an unorthodox to do in the current metagame that almost any Terran would probably be fooled. It was a smart build selection I can't lie.
if Flash didn't throw game 4 on Catallena we wouldn't have had to experience that terrible moment

I remember the game on Overgrowth where he helplessly scanned like 3 times after holding that absurd 1 base void-ray all in wondering how that build was even possible.

7:00 Life 61 vs soO 56 Spire for Life. +1/1 for soO, while Life is getting +1 missile attacks. Life surrounds soO's first few roaches with zerglings but only kills one. Lots more zerglings for Life. soO adding on more roaches while taking his third.
9:00 Life 70 vs soO 85 Life getting his first few mutalisks now. Burrow for soO. soO moving out with 13 roaches, but they might be too late to accomplish much. Life surrounds some of the roaches with zerglings while they're moving out, and catchs the rest with mutalisks and zerglings at home.
10:00 Life 92 vs soO 104 Evolution chamber for Life, as well as +2 missile attacks. Four drones are lost by Life, but he's still ahead 64-49. Mutalisks are killing overlords. Burrowed roaches are moving down the right-hand side of the map.

I like all match ups. There

Poor decision making from soO to take that fight
