Shine was behind almost the entire game. He was WAY behind after the opening.
He did a good job coming back with Mutas in the mid game and was probably slightly ahead for a little bit, but never by much. He staved off death multiple times with some great play (such as going all in on killing Light's only Science Vessel with his Mutas, then pulling a Hold Lurker), but he never pulled back ahead once Light marched out of his base again after the Muta harass.
Zerg killing tons of Terran units doesn't mean much when the Terran units are right outside Zerg's base or even in Zerg bases half the time.

And Salamander still has cover tile bugs on multiple ramps...
Lol you will not be impressed with how I came up with the name...
First of all, you know the show Ed, Edd and Eddy? Well you know how Eddy has a sister named Sarah? You know that she is kinda crazy? Well when I first began work on the map I had a dream and she was in it. She had an uzi. For some reason that image stuck with me for the next several days... Well the combination of the words Uzi and Sarah sounded cool to me for some reason, and I thought it might be cool for a map name. Not only that but because it also sounds like Mar Sara from the Starcraft lore. Your map names are always the best :D At least this one does not sound like an underhanded rape thread...

Love Shine. He is not only creative and smart, but his mechanics looks very good too. Hes desicionmaking is so precise.

Zerg killing tons of Terran units doesn't mean much when the Terran units are right outside Zerg's base or even in Zerg bases half the time. I'm not buying it. At the 22-minute mark, just before the drop into the main, Shine has four bases, at least three of which are well-saturated. Light has only his original two bases, both of which are within a minute or two of completely mining out. After the Wraith gamble Light's entire army consists of the two full Dropships and an additional group of infantry outside Shine's nat. He didn't have any Science Vessels because he had spent all his Starport production time on the Wraiths.
If Shine catches the double drop before it unloads or simply has ling upgrades so that the lings he already had in position can kill the mnm as they unload, that play leaves Light with nearly no army and a base that he has almost no hope of defending against Defiler/Lurker/ling with no Irradiate. He would have just died within the next couple of minutes from having no economy left.

I'll be casting the rest of the days live on Twitch. Couldn't get to it today because of personal stuff, but I'll be on point for the rest of the event.

Very impressive game 3 by light. After being completely shut down, losing all his scv's at his natural and being contained for a long time, he misreads shine's build and prepares for guardians. After that, he sends drop after drop after drop, continually trying to deal damage and being annoying enough to stay in the game. After that, his main and nat mine out and he takes a very exposed mineral only and doesn't defend it, realizing his only chance in the game is to hope that shine never decides to attack it. The dropship play continues until he just barely manages to kill shine's 4th and start attacking the third.
Lots of luck through shine's misplays, but also very impressive constant pressure to come back.

They're not doing twitch streams this season?

It was already explained.
Ginewda is a partner BJ so he is not allowed to stream anywhere else, only afreeca. This is because Blizzard would not approve ASL TB season 2

Awesome thanks! Will be sure to watch the VOD's on youtube.

yeess yess and yesss... Game 3 was very very intense and weird, I just haven't seen that many zvt as hilarius and entertaining as this one, there was a point in the crazy game when crazyness happened not only 1 or 2 but 3 times in a metter of seconds + Show Spoiler +plague on wraith, 1 drop kill to scourge, 2 drop succes on z and both Last and the other guy stayed like paralyzed for seconds trying to figure out what in the hell was goin on, didn't even knowing how to react... ha I can't recall laughing so hard while watching a bw game alone in my house as I just did. It would be cool to have it translated, not only for the gosuness of the game and what could be a very cool insight by Last of it but also for the incredibly high level of entertainment and fun it provides.

Haven't watched BW in years, but I'm pumped for this. Noticed that there is an iOS AfreecaTV app, so I can watch it from work.
