Canata opens with 8-rax bunker rush, and trades three marines, an SCV, and a bunker for five drones. Jaedong was behind, but not insurmountably. Unfortunately, the bunker rush blocked his sunken position for enough time to let Canata get a vulture into his main. Jaedong had split his lings, leaving only 3 to defend while 6 went to unsuccessfully attack Canata's wall. Canata's vulture scored 12 kills, most while in red health, and that ended the game.

Jaedong going 3-hatches while Canata opens 14cc into bio. Jaedong sneaks a ridiculously fast fourth hatch at the expo directly above Canata's base. It's a hidden expansion that Jaedong has no chance of defending it if Canata finds it. Jaedong gets both tech branches, but builds no mutas and instead goes for upgraded lurker-ling. Canata scouts Jaedong's normal third gas expo, finding no hatchery, and gets lured nicely into a stop lurker trap, losing most of his first mm army but killing five lurkers.

It's late game, and Canata still believes Jaedong is on two gas, and is playing passively with his SK army. Jaedong is upgrading his ground army and teching to hive, finally clearing the mm at his normal third gas. At this point in the game Canata has full Terran tech and several vessels, but still has no idea about Jaedong's expo near Canata's main. Jaedong chases Canata's SK army with lurker-ling-swarm, securing a fourth gas in the process.

At this point Canata has to realize something is up, because there's no way Jaedong can support those upgrades, army, and tech off two gas. Canata has been trading mm for lurkers all game, and Jaedong's army never seems to shrink. Canata's micro is decent, and he takes out Jaedong's "third" gas (really his fourth gas) but at the cost of all his vessels. The next Canata army moves out, and his face goes "wut" as its met by a full group of upgraded ultras. Canata finally discovers Jaedong's hidden expo, but it's already time to GG.

Jaedong opens 2-hatch slow ovie lurker drop, which absolutely devastates Canata's factory FE into mm opening. His first group of mm move out, and two lurkers run into his main mineral line, and two more into his natural mineral line. Canata is barely defending, losing mm left and right, with SCVs transferring frantically, while Jaedong takes a third gas. Jaedong's eco isn't very powerful either, but he definitely has map control with his army. Canata has Starport but his lack of SCVs prevents him from getting tanks and vessels. A second slow overlord drop forces yet another transfer from Canata's main, timed with a frontal attack that Canata manages to beat back.

Canata finally masses a ball and pushes out, but Jaedong already has defiler and a much larger lurker-ling army, flanking perfectly with swarm plenty of units left over. Considering the opening, Canata actually plays admirably, securing a third base mineral only and pushing out, but a lurker ling drop by Jaedong seals it.

This game opened like Game 1, but Jaedong played it much smarter, pulling many more drones and not engaging the bunker until he had lings. Jaedong gets a sunken up well in time, and the vulture cannot get into his main. Canata starts a cc (defended by minefield) and gets a wraith, but it isn't able to score many kills due to well timed hydras. Tanks and valks are built as Jaedong powers drones and takes a third. Jaedong flies in with mutas, which are quickly repelled by valks. Canata switches to bio, fast-pushing with his first vessel. Jaedong is at hive, his fourth gas morphing, but is forced to flank without swarm, losing most of his army. Canata arrives at Jaedongs nat just in time, and breaks through right before Jaedong's consume finishes -- even irradiate-killing the first defiler before a single swarm is cast. Excellent timing and sense of urgency from Canata -- he moved fast, often with unsieged tanks. Thirty seconds later and it would've been an easy win for Jaedong.

Canata opens similarly to how he did in Game 1 -- 8-rax into factory and wraith, getting a CC as well. This time, Jaedong opts for 9-pool before expanding and going 2-hatch lurker. Canata's first wraith gets one overlord, and damages a second ovie above Canata's natural cliff before being driven off by hydras.

Canata then inexplicably moves out with five marines and kills that dead ovie, but Jaedong's speedlings kill all the marines, break into Canata's main, and tear down a critical turret at the front. Canata has no detection for the lurkers that follow, and loses the game in unspectacular fashion in less than ten minutes. Horrific mistake by Canata, he'd have been fine (and probably ahead) had he not moved out with those five marines.

Effort opens overlord-gas-pool while Calm opens standard overpool-gas. Both players get second hatcheries, and whether by choice or necessity (Calm had more lings) Effort places his second hatch in his main instead of his natural. Effort attempts to attack Calm's nat with lings, but is easily deflected by defending lings and mutas. Effort starts a third hatchery at his natural, but loses the first air fight decisively. Calm simply has more mutas due to the second gas. Calm's mutas move toward Effort's undefended main, and Effort can only muster a weak counter.

Effort opens 12-hatch and Calm 9-pool speed, and unlike the Proleague Playoff game against Great, Effort cannot defend with drones. Calm doesn't go for the natural hatchery, instead going right into the main, hitting Effort's lings as they hatch. Excellent micro by Calm, abusing speed and positioning to take down several drones and eventually overwhelm Effort, killing his natural hatchery. Effort finally secures his main, but Calm has a spire almost done, and defends Effort's last ditch counter with drones and lings.

You could read the previous recap, because the exact same thing happens this game. Effort opens 12-hatch, Calm 9-pool speed. Calm runs his first lings into Efforts main and kills Effort's lings as they hatch, and eventually overwhelms him with more speedlings.
