This is the Minor League game which determines the players for the Major League.
This is Peter who just received a loss.
And this is Soo, will he be the other Protoss along with Ra and Kim Wan Joong in the Major League?
Soo. One Two Three! Soo Fighting!
Peter fighting~!
Soo is white and starts at 1 o'clock.
Peter is green.
Peter is at 8 o'clock and Soo is at 1 o'clock.
After the first game, Peter typed "How could I lose that game?"
with crying emoticons.
He just needed to defend once but he lost his units too easily.
His Reaver control was good. He killed at least 10 Probes.
Yes, he had a chance.
But, he couldn't defend Soo's "Han Bang Rush".
He had units and he could have defended. Seems he is tightening himself up by typing that.
You rarely see that kind of Reaver which has so-called 'Good Scarabs' inside.
Those Scarabs make you happy even if you are down. -Hahaha.
Those Scarabs flew a long distance and killed Probes, but he lost the first game.
Soo sent his Probe first and passed the center area.
It seems like they will expand then start to fight.
They are not trying Proxy Gate play or any other risky builds.
Soo is scouting those corner areas too, because Peter is really a unique player.
You don't know what he's going to do. -Ahhhh!
This is Manner Pylon play. -Soo builds a Pylon in Peter's mineral fields.
There goes another! -Unlike the first game, the traveling distance is long.
Soo's trying to inflict economic damage so he can capture his expansion earlier.
Peter prepared for the Manner Pylon in the first game.
If he didn't have money to build another Pylon, he should've stopped the Probe right there.
Soo has made two Manner Pylons.
Peter's Probe has arrived at Soo's base, and Soo is making a Cybernetics Core.
Since the rushing distance is long enough, Peter doesn't have to worry about early Zealot harassment.
While Peter's Zealot is distracted by the Manner Pylon, Soo can try... -Uhhh? Another one??
He can use Hold Position, since the Zealot is out.
That must really annoy him.
Looks like Soo thinks he shook Peter enough.
He saw Peter wasn't controlling his units well when he rushed Peter.
Soo's concentrating on distracting him.
But Peter is not trying anything on Soo so far.
Foreign players can concentrate on one thing really well,
But their level of controlling multiple situations is lower than Korean pros.
With regards to micro control, Koreans are better.
Unit control, harassment, economy management, etc.
You need fast hands.
Right now a Zealot and Dragoon are moving together on Peter's base. The Zealot will go in the front and the Dragoon will wander around.
Like this.
He doesn't need to use the Zealot, just the Dragoon will be fine.
Soo's Probe was destroyed and his Cybernetic Core is upgrading Dragoon Range.
2 Gates. -They have to go with 2 Gates.
Even though they are far away from each other, the natural expansion area is pretty big,
so they will make Dragoons and carefully expand.
It's Protoss vs. Protoss. They need enough units from those Gateways.
The important thing is whether you go Robotics first or expand first.
It depends on the playing style of a gamer, but usually it's good to expand first and settle the economy.
I think Soo studied Peter and concluded, "He doesn't use Dark Templar."
In the first game and this one too, he's not preparing for Dark Templar at all.
Soo is expanding first. -If Peter isn't going to use Dark Templar, Soo will have the advantage.
Like you said, Peter is not planning a Dark Templar rush.
And depending on how many units he has, he will match up his unit production.
Soo's units are marching down to stop Peter's troops.
Soo's units came down to hunt Peter's units,
but Peter retreated them.
Since Peter made his Robotics first, he has a tech advantage.
