It makes myself new. Cell phone Ever!
This is the last match of the 2005 Ever Star League.
The curse on Zerg... Does it really exist?
Terran players have been working hard to keep the curse alive.
This game determines whether that curse will be broken or will continue to live on.
Let's watch the final game.
The game has started now.
First, let's see JulyZerg's base.
He is a white Zerg.
We are watching JulyZerg now.
He took the 2nd and the 3rd games.
This here is GoodFriend who won the 1st and the 4th games.
He is a red Terran.
This truly is the final.
And expectations were just expectations.
Players, who we thought would have advantages on certain maps, lost.
That's why we are watching the 5th game. The game is a 2-2 tie now.
Will there be another unexpectated strategy or will they play normally?
JulyZerg's strategy, in the first game, was really good.
Even though he lost, it was good. I wonder if he's going to try it again.
Drone and Overlord are taking different paths.
They are not going for risky builds at this point.
Well, this is the last game you know.
This is GoodFriend, and his poster here made by his fans.
GoodFriend built Supply Depot first, then Barracks.
And JulyZerg went natural expansion then 3 Hatcheries.
So, unlike the previous games, they are going for orthodox builds.
Ohh Hatchery~ he made it.
GoodFriend was really lucky there. If the SCV went to scout just half a second later, he wouldn't see the Drone.
But he saw the Drone so he changed scouting direction.
And JulyZerg is building the 2nd Hatchery.
If JulyZerg is going for that kind of build.. GoodFriend can try 2 Barracks - Double Command.
But I don't see him mining Gas.
Or instead of Academy he can try a fast Factory build.
Let's see what's on his mind.
Oh? He made something on JulyZerg's natural expansion. -Aha he's trying to slow him down.
This isn't really big damage for JulyZerg.
It's for the 'Chi' fighting. Also you feel good by doing that.
If he goes for Factory.. it's not good news for JulyZerg.
JulyZerg is not mining any gas, his tech tree is so slow.
Compared to GoodFriend, he's behind.
JulyZerg may be able to build an early Lair.
Ah Gas now! -Is GoodFriend making Factory?
Factory. It's a third of the way completed.
GoodFriend's start is really good in this game.
If JulyZerg doesn't scout, he may get rushed and lose the game.
It's hard to get through there, GoodFriend made a barricade.
In my opinion..
Instead of making Drones and going for high tech,
How about poor economy with mass Speedlings?
Zergs often lose by this strategy.
Hwasin[S.SIR] from Soul showed it twice on Star League.
It's a dilemma for Zerg.
When you scout with Zerglings, you only see Marines. So you think "Uh? It's late Academy build."
But you don't know whether Terran is going for Factory or Double Command!
It's psychological warfare.
JulyZerg's 3 Hatchery build got slowed down by late expansion.
Since his tech is slow, he needs to rely on Sunkens only.
Compared to GoodFriend's Factory timing, JulyZerg's situation isn't good.
You don't know who's going to win at this point.
But GoodFriend is the one holding the sword.
