The mapmakers were like ''Let's even the playing field between Flash and Jaedong a little so the finals are a bit more interesting this year''. That idea backfired. ZvZ+ZvZ incoming.

Supermacroing off 4gas hive while microing defilers, queens and several fronts of attack while harassing the 3rd with lings and moving drones to his 5th - sublime. great's battle micro seemed pretty bad to me tbh, if the game were a bit more conventional I'd say Kal might've won that

Wow thats a lot of votes for Stork vs Zero. i thought stork played terribly... he lost what 2 shuttles 2 reavers for nothing? Zero played flawlessly but felt it was more 1 players failiure.

I hope at least 1 protoss advances to save us from 1-2 ZvZ's.

I don't think it was for nothing LOL
the first reaver snipe was absolutely beautiful. stork knew zero saw the shuttle with his zergling, but still persisted in going in. he didn't see anything. then BAM HYDRAS
in the battle near the 3rd, stork's reavers paid for themselves.

His only real mistake IMO was committing WAAAAY too many cannons (so many he had to destroy them afterwards) and losing a bunch of sairs to scourge.
His overproduction of DTs is questionable - even at the time when he was slaughtering Hydras left-right-centre, he didn't need to make 6 or 8 of them and send 4 on an unproductive suicide run to 5'oclock.

Stork got mindfucked, maps had little to do with it. Kal... is Kal. Snow played the best out of all 3 P and he almost won.

No terrans - no way to stop the swarm.

Zero played flawlessly but felt it was more 1 players failiure. The only reason for that 1 player's failure was because of Zero's play. The burrowed hydras sniping that first reaver, and the timing on the spore colony to counter the DTs + hydras intercepting the shuttle.

Absolutely.This game had some good features(Zero taking shuttle to burrowd hydras and faking hydra all-in) but one player was just better than the other.It was not an even game.

Nah he was forced to lose the first reaver. Zero pretty much played that game perfectly to his tune and not much Stork could have done about it.

I'm pretty sure great was just messing around there. After Kal made 242352879 cannons and couldn't kill great's 3rd, that was already gg.
