Game 5 Summary
Curious Tear

Curious spawns at the bottom and Tear at the top. Standard by everyone. Forge FE, pool first into hatch, then a third, etc. 4gates from Tear, and starts his +1 attack somewhat late. 2 gasses first by Curious, and gets his lair and roach warren and first evo at around 7:30. Robo by Tear, but he burns forcefields and loses a sentry to some lings. He gets a third base really early with barely any units, while Curious is just macroing and getting his upgrades. Sentry-zealot push by Tear at 9:00 arrives at Curious' third at 9:45. Doesn't do a lot and Tear needs to run away, but Curious' reinforcing roaches and lings clean up all the sentries. Ouch. Tear getting blink and more gateways while Curious plants his Infestation pit as well as a fourth base and all his gasses. Tear turtling on three bases and Curious has the whole map. Tear is trying to get something done with a warprism and zealot harass kills the queen in the main, and almost snipes the infestation pit; overall not worth it. Tear posturing to take a fourth now that he has colossi. Tear tries to pressure Curious' fourth, but a roach runby cancels Tear's own fourth and tries to get into his third. Two battles going on at the same time. Curious is delaying with infested terrans and spine crawlers to get BLs out and Tear can't get in and doesn't want to risk it. BL finishes and Tear goes home, but changes his mind and attacks as his fourth can't be taken. Tear attacks into the fourth of Curious a little recklessly, but Tear aaaalmost breaks him with great blinks to get rid of the broodlords. A runby kills off Tear's third but he's way too far to go back. Tear can't go any further though because there are too many spine crawlers. Curious pooling his roaches and lings before clearing the remnants of Tear's army. Tear ggs. Curious happy with himself, smiles a lot more with his new hair color.

That was a more entertaining PvZ then what we usually see due to the multi-pronged attacks and multi-tasking from Curious.

honestly either way oz would have lost, and if you paid attention to what management said, oz didn't feel confident and didn't want to play himself

Which is why it would be even more hilarious this time...

Lucky has looked pretty terrible lately afaik. Surely one of the other 3 zergs (not counting Leenock obviously) are better than him at this point.

Then again it is ZvZ, last game of Lucky's that I remember was a really bad ZvP.

When Curious is in the zone, it's so much fun to watch him play. I hope he can pick up at least one more win, but I wouldn't be upset with him getting an all kill. He is the stone faced killer after all.
