Midas took the first game although I didn't see who it was against. Reach just played another anti-terran tour de force against TheMarine, finishing the game with a quadruple storm to the terran main mineral line.

More results to come.

Game 1 on requiem
Midas@3 > Eliza@12

Very fast game, elize 9 pooled into exp and 3 sunkens, with 8 lings. Midas just 2 rax rushes stims as soon as he arrives and takes everything down (lings in bad spots and sunkens didn't target firebats) was over in 5 mins.

Game 2 on requiem
Reach@6 vs TheMarine@3

Started off with 2 probes harassing TM and killing a scv or so, the marine goes 1 fact CC and engine bay. Reach jumped a probe behind his exp and goes hidden dt while robo in base. Does DT drop just after TM has his exp up and slows TM down heaps. He then expands 3 times and masses, TM is CC like crazy and sees all of reachs exp and rushs but gets destroyed in the middle. Reach makes him lift his CC off and defends the top ridge, then does 4 templar storm drop killing all but a handful of scvs. GG Reach wins.

Game 3 on Dream Of Bahlae
Reach@11 vs Midas @ 2

Reach not taking the option to fast expand, goes 1 gate range with robo, obviously going to try and harass the scv line of midas. Has obs bay and 1 goon atm, ob is built and heads the wrong way.Midas opted for fast expand fact, acad, starport, 2nd fact. 2scans (maybe worried about dt drop like what happened to themarine?)
He landed rax on low ground and ran some marines to scout the other natural mineral lines but can't see reachs position since he didn't expand.
Reach has expanded now and also built 3 gates on low ground. Midas has a wraith running around and 3 factS?

Reach harassing with 3 goons, 3 tanks are on top of the cliff but the scvs keep moving them around. Wow a tank got jumped in front of the mineral line because of the scvs and reach nailed it. Seige mode kicked in and reach had to run. Reinforcements arrive and he tries to get the rax/fact on low ground but a tank(on high and 1 on low ground) and rines kill a number of goons before he retreats and finds a floating engine bay which dies.
Midas now transferring tanks to low ground, looks like midas is going small number of bio and large number of metal rush. Moving now, reach has a lot of goons but has to run from seigned tanks.

5 tanks maybe 10 rines, a few vults and now bunkering up sort of close to reachs natural.

Reach has run his goons up top middle exp and is waiting for more men to build to sandwich in between, a group of zeals run over and midas bunekrs are full and unseiges to move foward to hit the mineral line, reach runs the zeals in and the goons down and mines blow up some tanks, but midas' spush has worked and is killing some probes, reach has to retreat his goons and goes after midas's low ground facts. Does a dt drop kills 2 turrets and minor damage so far.

Reach has expanded to 9o'clock position but no probes there yet, he has speed zeal and 7 gates on low ground

Midas has 3 bunkers 6 tanks and 3 vults. Reach has 2 temps and storms the tanks, nice storm kills all but 3 tanks and 2 of those are almost dead. But reach is still forced back.

More tank support arrive but once again mass storm kills it off, he then runs a zeal in and draws some mines into a tank, 1 tank left but dies to goon follow up, only bunker now.

Midas counters with a 2 dropship drop in reachs base, which he can't defend, he loses his probes, none at his exp.

GG

nice domination by midas, had reach on the back foot all game. But some nice moves by reach to try and hold it off.
