I remember awhile back someone decided to start a build order project copying all of the build orders from GSL and posting them so everyone could see them. Since I don't have a lot of money to throw at GOM, I've generally stuck to watching Proleague, where I can watch all the VoDs in HD for free. Anyways, when the playoffs for Proleague came around, I saw it as an opportunity to start the same kind of project, not only for the good of the community but also for my own good.

For those interested in watching the VoDs: http://www.youtube.com/user/ESportsTV/featured. It's easiest if you go to playlists and scroll down. There are both English and Korean VoDs available, all in HD.

Here is the fully worked out and revised set of build orders, including lists of games that I thought were worth watching and particular build orders worth stealing. Keep in mind that I worked these out off of VoDs, not replays, so they may not be 100% accurate in all aspects, but they are pretty close. Also, I generally stopped writing down the build order once players started interacting with each other (i.e. 10-gate pressure vs. nexus first) because obviously the build of each player changes once pressure and trades start to occur.

Anyhow, here they are! Enjoy!

Proleague Quarterfinals 2013
STX Soul vs. SKT1
INnoVation vs. BeSt
Neo Planet S

Description: BeSt opens with a cheesy 10-gate vs. INnoVation's reaper expand, killing off several workers and taking an economic lead. INnoVation does his best to stay in the game with marine/widow mine drop aggression, but BeSt's early lead allows him to get further and further ahead with storm drops and good engagements. In a desperation attempt, INnoVation pulls his SCVs to defend BeSt's maxed army push, but is unable to hold on.

Proleague 2013 Quarterfinals
STX Soul vs. SKT1
Dear vs. Rain
Bel'Shir Vestige

Description: Both players open with tenative expansions, Dear using DTs, Rain using a 2-gate robo opening. Rain, with his strange, delayed expansion, follows up with an incredibly powerful gateway timing, which Dear barely holds. Afterwards, Dear begins to pressure with immortal drops while taking a 3rd, which Rain attempts to punish with another powerful immortal/chargelot/archon attack. Unable to break the 3rd, Rain falls behind in economy and starts to fall apart against DT attacks, eventually losing to a powerful colossus attack.

Mini vs. PartinG
Naro Station

Description: Both players open with a 3-gate pressure build, but due to some odd MsC scouting, PartinG is ill-equipped to deal with Mini's forces, causing him to retreat up his ramp and into his main. Mini contains PartinG while taking an expansion. After some attempts at using a warp prism to break out of the contain, PartinG gives up and decides to go for a counter while hallucinating a colossus to scare Mini away. However, Mini spots the colossus as a hallucination, uses perfect forcefields, and tears PartinG's army apart.

Description: FanTaSy, in his true BW style, opens with a technical tank push into a contain against Classic's stargate opening. Classic, in an odd display of unit control, is unable to break the contain and falls behind in economy, eventually crumbling against FanTaSy's followup pressure.

hyvaa vs. soO
New Fighting Spirit

Description: In typical hyvaa fashion, he opens with an early speedling attack hoping to cripple his opponent, soO, who opened up with a 4-queen build. Realizing his pressure had failed against soO's clever evo chamber/roach warren/quadruple queen wall off, he stockpiles several roaches in a followup all-in. soO defends well, sits comfortably on 2 bases, and pushes out with a superior roach count and roach speed for the win.

Description: Bisu decides to take a risk and go nexus first on the largest map in the map pool. However, Trap prepares a blind 10-gate into 3-gate strategy that catches Bisu completely unprepared. With a simple build order win, Trap takes the game.

Set 7 ACE [TvT](INnoVation vs. FantaSy): + Show Spoiler +
2013 Proleague Quarterfinals
STX Soul vs. SKT1
INnoVation vs. FantaSy
Newkirk Precinct

Description: The game starts off with a disastrous marine/widow mine drop from FantaSy that gets shut down by a single widow mine without doing any damage. Scrambling to get back into the game, FantaSy counters INnoVation's cloaked banshee pressure with an emergency viking and ebay while attempting to put on his own banshee pressure. After doing almost no damage again, FantaSy opts for a 3rd CC, his only hope for getting back into the game, but before he can take his natural, INnoVation already has tanks sieged up, locking FantaSy onto 1 base. Unable to break out of his natural and unable to do any damage against INnoVation's airtight defenses, FantaSy is crushed by superior numbers and INnovation wins the ace match.

hyvaa vs. soO
New Fighting Spirit

Description: Both players begin with an early expand, playing very passively. soO opens with a 4-queen build while hyvaa uses a speedling build to sneak in a very fast 3rd. soO hits with a 10:00 +1 speedroach timing which hyvaa barely defends at the cost of several drones. soO does a followup push a few minutes later; hyvaa's macro falters and, unable to reinforce as quickly as soO, hyvaa crumbles under the roach pressure.

Bel'Shir Vestige

Description: Bisu starts with a very fast 1-gas expand while INnoVation goes for early aggression with widow mine/marine pressure, eventually adding in drops. Bisu defends quite well, losing only a few probes. The game continues with both players macroing, Bisu swatting aside the drop threats of INnoVation, and both players take their 3rds. While Bisu puts on a brilliant display of multi-tasking and good control, INnoVation manages to use good splits and brilliant positioning to completely dismantle Bisu's army at the 3rd and sprint forward for the win.

Proleague 2013 Quarterfinals

Trap vs. Rain
Whirlwind

Description: Both players go for early expands, Trap going for a greedier nexus first vs. Rain's standard 1-gate FE. Trap hides a 3rd base and both players play passive, going up to 3 bases (4 for Trap) early with both players go immortal/archon/chargelot. As he's approaching a maxed army, Trap attacks with a superior economy and superior gateway count. Rain holds on the best that he can, but the reinforcements and superior economy of Trap are too much, and Trap takes the win.

Description: BeSt opens with a proxy oracle that does a ton of damage to Mini, who for some reason cancels his robo during the attack. Mini then mounts a failed counterattack. Opting to not attack and get ahead in macro, BeSt simply waits for colossus tech and pushes for the win.

Zest vs. Dear
Bel'Shir Vestige

Description: Both players play passive and go for an early expand. After a failed DT play, Zest goes for a massive immortal/archon/chargelot timing while taking a 3rd. Dear defends while harassing with a warp prism, but loses his 3rd base in the process. The game equalizes with Dear heading for colossus tech and Zest heading for tempests to counter the colossus. However, Zest is unable to reach tempests fast enough, and Dear wins with a strong colossus push.

Description: Both players open up economically and tech up. INnoVation, in a fairly uncharacteristic move, makes a single tank before making hellions, blindly countering Crazy's 2-base roach drop/nydus all-in. Using clever positioning behind buildings, INnoVation makes short work of Crazy's drop and takes him out with ease.

Flash vs. hyvaa
Newkirk Redevelopment Precinct

Description: In a fairly standard TvZ, both players open up economically with double upgrades into biomine and ling/bling/muta, respectively. Hyvaa expertly deflects FlaSh's first pokes while continuing his creep spread and taking almost no damage to his economy. Continuing his dominance, hyvaa manages to tech up to ultras and infestors. FlaSh, however, manages to pull hyvaa apart with drops and contant multi-tasking, stabilizing the game into a split-map stand-off. After a disastrous maxed out battle, hyvaa lost all of his high-tech units and fell to pieces against FlaSh's constant multi-pronged MMM aggression.

Description: Both players open with passive early expands much like the night before. Flash, however, decides to skip his 3rd CC in favor of hellbat drops. With immaculate control, hyvaa expertly deflects Flash's pressure, taking a great economic lead. With a hellbat/marauder force, Flash starts taking control of the map at 10:00. After taking several great engagements and generally out-multi-tasking hyvaa, Flash does critical damage to hyvaa's economy and forces him to tap out.

Description: HitmaN opens with a standard 4-queen opening while INnoVation opens with a reaper expand into reaper/hellion. With an incredibly successful reaper/hellion poke, INnoVation kills off several queens and zerglings but loses all of his hellions in the process. To respond, hitmaN follows up with baneling bust to get far ahead. However, at the 14-minute mark, INnoVation moves out onto the map and begins his trademark hyper-aggressive extreme multi-tasking style, slowly wearing down his opponent and overpowering him with pure mechanics. With an 80-supply deficit and a droom drop at his 3rd, hitmaN loses the game.

Description: MyuNgSiK opens with a standard 2-gate expand while Trap opens with an oracle 3-gate designed to punish a fast expand. Trap forces a cancel on the nexus and eventually does massive damage with the oracle, killing off half of MyuNgSiK's probes. In a desperation move, MyuNgSiK moves out with 2 immortals and a warp prism for a counter push which Trap defends with ease. With no defense and no economy at home, MyuNgSiK falls to Trap's followup pressure.

Crazy vs. Classic
Neo Planet S

Description: Opening in standard PvZ style of triple hatch vs. FFE, Classic opens stargate, using phoenixes to shut down overlord vision while hiding a proxy pylon in the middle of the map. Realizing his proxy pylon wasn't scouted, Classic adds up to 6 gateways for a total of 7 and gears up for a strong 2-base allin. Crazy, who opened with very swift hive, decides to use swarm hosts to defend, but the swarm hosts come too late to participate in the initial push. Classic chronoboosts out an oracle to detect the swarm hosts, and after picking off several zerg bases and slowly transitioning to chargelot/archon with DTs, Classic manages to push Crazy down to a single base with no way to defend his swarm hosts, winning the game.

After being hard-countered, Mini tries to take map control with blink stalkers while trying to tech to DTs and expand. After pulling through with an incredible defense, Mini manages to claw his way back into the game.

Description: Both players open in a standard PvZ way until free starts an incredibly early 3rd nexus at 6:30. hyvaa makes a few pokes with zerglings while taking a 4th base and amassing a huge roach/hydra army. However, by 12:00 free's 3rd base economy kicks in, allowing him to push out with a fearsome gateway/colossus army to threaten hyvaa's 4th. After some back-and-forth engagements, free breaks through hyvaa's defenses and does a victory march through the 3rd, through the natural, and into the main for the win.

Set 5 [PvZ](ZerO vs. Trap): + Show Spoiler +
Proleague 2013 Grand Finals
Woongjin Stars vs. STX Soul
ZerO vs. Trap
Newkirk Precinct

Description: Both players blindly choose a greedy build, but ZerO's 3 hatch before pool is stronger than Trap's 16 nexus. In order to make up for the economic difference, Trap attempts a warp prism 6-gate attack which ends in complete and utter failure. 60 supply down and unable to secure a 3rd base, Trap looks hopeless, but with brilliant harassment and incredibly good engagements, he manages to claw his way back into the game. After 20 minutes of brilliant positional play from both players, the gigantic maxed armies face off in the middle of the map, leaving both players without an income. A bizarre base race scenario then ensues with Trap coming out as the victor.

Flying vs. Classic
Neo Planet S

Description: Both players opt for an early expand, Flying going robo tech and Classic going stawrgate tech. After some successful oracle/phoenix harassment, Classic transitions into colossus while Flying builds up for an immortal/archon/chargelot attack. After threatening to attack his opponent, Flying takes a 3rd and denies his opponent's 3rd. However, Flying fails to make a tempest switch in time and is overrun by Classic's huge colossus count in the end.

Awesome work, cheers. Maybe not that useful for experienced players but for example, while I am trying to learn my offrace, the timings at which time the build gets X done are useful to see ^^

Actually, it's been quite an experience for me in terms of learning and I think even high level players would benefit from the few nuggets of gold taken out of here. The truth is, once you get to a certain point, it's so difficult to keep up with all the starcraft tournaments and replay packs, etc., etc., and to really get to studying them. I wish more people would release build order projects like this because it really helps to take a lot of work off the shoulders of players studying to become better.

But yes, it's also easy to just look up something like triple hatch before pool and see exactly how Soulkey does it with exact timings to get a good sense of how to play against it. Glad you liked it, I'll see about doing more of the same in the future.

:D thank you. I might do it for next year's Proleague as well (the whole season, releasing it week by week).


ALSO! If there are any criticisms or issues, please bring them to my attention so I can improve my method and perhaps release better content in the future!

That's awesome. I have two noob-ish questions.

Where do I go to see the VODs of the games? And in the future, can you indicate what race the players are?

And yeah, that's a good point. I guess I came to know each of the kespa players really well over the course of this project, so it didn't even occur to me to point out that INnoVation was terran or ZerO was zerg, etc. I suppose I'll try to put that in now (if I can find a nice way to fit it in).
