The Thunderjunk Thursday Bo11 Invitational Series: (P)puCK vs. (T)SpeCial

Thursday, November 14. 8 PM Pacific Time (10 PM Central Time.)

Heeding The Call to Make Content, Thunderjunk Pounces! In this first episode of my show, I throw $100 into an Invitational for my favorite pro and semi-pro players as they struggle against each other in a highly focused, at times - one might even call Insane - map pool.


Players:

(P)puCK
(T)SpeCial

Predictions:
+ Show Spoiler +
Puck takes game 3, feeling hopeful. Juanito hits stern resistance. Both want the $120 grand prize. Puck takes it the distance. 3-4... $160 total prize might be admitted. Juanito struggled to find his footing on games 5 and 6. But returns with simply sharp execution and Puck struggles to keep up with his duller RAM. A mechanical limitation, but Puck produces a warrior's spirit, difficult to crush. Both players come to understand Juanito's greatness with controlling units better. 4-6: Juanito.

As of right now, I'll be solo casting the games. If anyone knows how to get a hold of someone who is decent at casting, PM me. I'd love to cast alongside Moletrap, Rapid, or anyone, really.

Yes.

Edit: Actually, It is indeed Korhal Floating Island. I'm using the one that doesn't force spawns at 1 and 7.

How exactly is this an island map? I see ramps in the main bases and everything is connected by ground.

I'm sorry. Prize Pool expanded to $200 to compensate. This event will not be recorded. But it will be cast live. Enjoy.

I've updated the liquipedia. It was my first ever event, so production wasn't Hollywood by any stretch. When production quality improves to a fair standard, I'll release vods for future events.

Game 1:
Players spawn in the bottom left and top right.

Puck takes an early lead with some extremely favorable trades with a chrono-boosted adept and stalker (6 marines and an scv for 1 adept, after the reaper got killed in a well-thought-out building placement trap). Special fought back with some drop harass and a raven, but puCK got up to 3 bases, and smashed through with some blink stalkers and disruptors.

1-0 puCK

Game 2:
Players spawn in the top left and bottom right.

SpeCial's reaper gets a full scout and survives by denying the last adept hit with a grenade. Puck takes a fast 3rd while teching into Phoenix. First phoenix scout denied by marines. It returns with a friend to go after the most-exposed mineral line, only to be quickly destroyed outright by 2 mines hidden beneath the workers. puCK responds by building his last 2 phoenix to help scout, and preparing for anti-drop play with blink... and also takes a hidden 4th. 3 medivac doom drop comes to the most obvious location, and puck blinks on it, taking a good trade. Also uses his phoenixes and stalkers to completely destroy a mine drop... But puCK gets too greedy, building 2 forges, getting a robo, and going up to over 80 probes. SpeCial has +1 attack, and his main force, consisting of 7 widow mines, 15 marauders, 28 marines, 2 libs, and 5 medivacs meets relatively feeble resistance at puCK's 3rd (13 stalkers, 22 zealots, 3 sentries, 6 phoenix, upgrades not complete). Puck does not sac the 3rd.

1-1 SpeCial

Game 3:
Players spawn in the bottom left and top right

SpeCial sets a trap for puCK's first adept, pushing it out without suffering any losses. Proxy starport hellion drop kills 11 probes. 5 stalker counter attack evens the worker count. After some more action, supplies sit at 62 vs 62, and then 70 vs 70. PuCK double expands, setting up for a purposeful base trade. Special pulls scvs and attacks, failing to scout the 4th with a slight-off scan. puCK miraculously wins the base trade with an inferior army.

2-1 puCK

Game 4:
Players spawn in the bottom left and top right

SpeCial's initial hellions make a decent trade. puCK fills a warp prism with 4 stalkers, and gets some damage done, then pushes in with a second warp prism filled with 3 zealots, and goes hard on the natural, which is lightly defended. I accidentally press the pause button at a really inopportune moment, and puCK loses his attacking force. He is enraged, tilted, and demoralized and fails to take another win in the series. Sorry puCK.

(To be fair, I offered to make that a re-game, as they would have done with Kespa rules, but Special felt entitled to the win, and puCK agreed that he should be awarded the victory.)

6-2 SpeCial.


Oh, by the way, game 5 (or game 4 version 2 if things went my way) was also super cool. Special defended against 6 stalkers with 1 cyclone, 2 reapers, and a bunker by skillfully popping in and out of the bunker. It was absurd. And amazing.
