just curious cuz i wasn't watching the minimap, but did MC expand? I'm also kinda confused why he got 2 gas and only make zealots and stalkers heh..

Tbh I'm thinking it was some kind of mind game. That was a bizarre build.

Let's be honest any diamond league protoss could have 4 gated Ciara right there... and any decent Master leaguer probably could have 3 gated and won too.

What was Ciara doing? No spine crawlers OR roach warren?

spine crawler? it was a 3 gate not 4 gate
you are investing too much on defence including the zerglings already produced just to block 3 gate pressure

Ciara had 2 Drones with a rally point to another drone that just followed that drone. So basically he had 2 drones not mining for a loooooong time. You can't make such a mistake against MC.

ciara had the right idea, I think if he had committed to a counter with his first group of lings then he might have had enough to delay the first wave and force a base race.... what do I know

I'm not facing a 2 time GSL champ

Min Chul demolishing Ciara who clearly is deciding not to even play. How can you not get either Roach OR Baneling tech vs MC after what you saw him do vs July. If anything I would've gotten a macro hatch in-base before even getting a 3rd to defend ANY possible gate aggression. Mc didn't even have sentries there. So disappointed at Ciara's play.

Hmm since it replays theese games could be played before the GSL finals
