12:05 - Game 1 - Scrap Station:
- 12:06: The first game is played on Scrap Station with TLO spawning as the purple terran on the right side, and MaDFroG as the blue zerg on the left.
- 12:09: MaDFroG expanded while TLO just finished his factory and a double gas.
- 12:10: MaDFroG holds off a hellion push and is sending a bunch of speedlings towards TLO's main, TLO manages to block his ramp just in time before the zerglings enter his base, and holds it off with a hellion.
- 12:11: TLO counters MaDFroG with a medivac full of hellions, tries to kill off some drones but does not manage to deal any major damage. The medivac is still alive though.
- 12:13: TheLittleOne is continuing his harassment, in the meantime he is making *drumroll* - BATTLE CRUISERS.
- 12:14: One Battle Cruiser is doing some great damage to MaDFroG, killing off almost three queens. TLO sends in another battle cruiser and drops SCVs to repair them. One Battle cruiser goes down, the medivac goes down, and the second battle cruiser goes down! Hydralisks saves the day for MaDFroG!
- 12:16: MaDFroG is pushing TLO preventing him from expanding and doing a lot of damage while he's making a third expansion, as well as a fourth at the golden minerals. TLO is trying to keep his command center alive, but mutalisks kills it, things does not look good for TLO.
- 12:19: TLO's main is almost mined out, MaDFroG runs into TLOs base with a lot of zerglings and mutalisks, and TLO GGs. 1-0 for MaDFroG!
12:20 - Game 2 - Lost Temple:
- 12:21: Second game is on Lost Temple, close positions with TLO at the 12 o clock position, and MaDFroG at the 2 o clock position.
- 12:22: MaDFroG is fast expanding, TLO knows about it - will he take advantage of the cliff behind the expansion?
- 12:23: TLO is making an armory, while he's sending 5 marines to MaDFroG's base. Two queens defends off the six marines and one hellion, metabolic boost is being researched.
- 12:25: TLO is doing some harassment with a medivac full of marines, MaDFroG is making a spire and scouts TLOs base with an overseer.
- 12:26: TLO is doing some Thor dropping taking advantage of the cliff, and takes down the hatchery. Mutalisks are on the way, but will it be enough?
- 12:28: MaDFroG has seven mutalisks, tries to harass but isn't able to do a lot of damage. However he also made a hidden expansion at 9 o clock, so it's soon three base vs two base unless TLO finds it.
- 12:29: TLO finds the hidden expansion and manages to kill four drones before it dies to a lot of zerglings and mutalisks. Three thors, a few vikings and medivacs, hellions and some marines is the current army of TLO, while MaDFroG has only zerglings and mutalisks.
- 12:30: TLO is now pushing MaDFroG at his natural after losing a thor in the hidden expansion.
- 12:31: MaDFroG surrounds all of the thors, kills them with a massive amount of zerglings and infestors, and killed a few vikings as well. Yet again, it does not look good for TLO, very impressive play by MaDFroG.
- 12:32: MaDFroG gets too comfortable however and tries to counter, but sent his zerglings on a suicide mission into TLO's hellions. TLO sends a few hellions to the 9 o clock expansion, killing around 20 zerglings and the drones. This game is turning around as TLO is managing to get his golden minerals expansion up, and MaDFroG is continuing to waste zerglings around the map to the hellions.
- 12:34: Fungal Growth on all of the hellions, however it does not help when he doesn't have anything to kill the hellions with. Two vikings and a few hellions are now pushing the golden mineral expansion of MaDFroG.
- 12:35: A bunch of mutalisks is doing some damage along with a pretty large force of zerglings, TLO is making a few battle cruisers, currently three battle cruisers.
- 12:36: MaDFroG now has some corruptors to fight TLOs battle cruisers and vikings, so it's turning into a viking/battle cruiser vs muta/corruptor game.
- 12:38: MaDFroG tried to attack TLO's force, but no longer has anything to defend against ground units. Only the corruptors survived.
- 12:39: TLO is being harassed by a few zerglings at his golden mineral expansion, but does not take a lot of damage. Brood Lords are coming up supported by the corruptors, will this be enough to take on the thors, vikings, hellions and battle cruisers?
- 12:40: A major attack from MaDFroG, a lot of zerglings and manages to do a lot of damage, and MaDFroG got 4 running expansions against TLO who now only got one.
- 12:41: TLO does however manage to kill two of the expansions with 10 vikings.
- 12:42: Things are suddenly looking very bad for MaDFroG.
- 12:43: MaDFroG gg's, a very entertaining match.
12:44 - Game 3 - Kulas Ravine:
- 12:45: MaDFroG is the red zerg in the bottom right corner, and TLO the blue terran in the bottom left corner. MaDFroG is playing risky as he's fast expanding on Kulas Ravine.
- 12:48: MaDFroG is killing the destructible rocks that prevents him from climbing the cliff to later hold off any possible viking harass. TLO does though have two hellions harassing MaDFroG's main, killing off a few zerglings.
- 12:49: TLO is in fact making those vikings. DeMusliM predicted it, and he was right.
- 12:51: The vikings are doing some great damage to the expansion, MaDFroG almost losing his queen, but two queens manages to kill off two vikings, bringing MaDFroG back in to the game. Speedlings incoming.
- 12:52: The zerglings are attacking the rocks that blocks TLOs second natural, where TLO already expanded.
- 12:54: Vikings are doing some more harassment, the zerglings manage to do some damage to the second natural expansion (TLO did not expand to the natural yet), but the vikings were close so it wasn't much MaDFroG could do.
- 12:55: MaDFroG tries to counter the vikings with mutalisks and corruptors, but it does not turn out good, TLO brings tanks to the viking push at MaDFroG's expansion, and MaDFroG does not have anything but zerglings and queens to hold it off, loses a lot of zerglings, but still manages to stay alive somehow using his queens and one spine crawler.
- 12:56: It did however not work out in the long run, GG form MaDFroG and TLO is up 2-1.
12:58: - Game 4 - Delta Quadrant:
- 13:02: TLO spawns as the yellow Terran at the 5 o'clock position, while MaDFroG is the red Zerg at the 1 o'clock postion.
- 13:03: TLO going for the fast expansion to put it at the mineral fields in the back of his main. MaDFroG taking his normal natural adds a pool and adds a third 3 expansion at the natural of 11 o'clock. TLO adding 2 barracks to try to go a bio build.
- 13:06: TLO adding 3 more barracks and going for a 5 barracks timing push. MaDFroG acutally seems to feel that TLO si goign for bio so he adds a banelingnest.
- 13:08: The initial attack TLO tries with marauders and a few mariens fails since Zerglings and Banelings take that small force fairly easily. After defending that attack MaDFroG decides to take a fourth base while adding a Spire and getting 8 Mutalisks when he finished.
- 13:10: TLO still on 2 base, while MaDFroG is trying to macro up and taking another 2 expaniosions.
- 13:12: There are 2 groups of Banelings burrowed in front of TLOs base waiting for him to move out with his units. TLO actually walks over one of those groups and scans the other one, but he still gets surrounded by Zerglings , Banelings and some Mutalisks. TLO losoes his whole army.
- 13:14: MaDFroG added Infestors and an Ultralisk Cavern, still keeping TLO in his base and trying to get an army to move in and to finish the already crippled. He moves in with about 8 Ultralisks and a massive amount of Zerglings and TLO types out after loosing some of his buildings and the last remains of his army.
13:16 - Game 5 - Metalopolis:
- 13:17: MaDFroG spawns as the red Zerg in the upper right corner and TLO in the bottom right corner.
- 13:18: MaDFroG going for the pool and the fast expansion and actually manages to block TLOs barracks from getting a techlab.
- 13:19: TLO going for an early reaper since he needs to get out a unit that can deal with Zerglings, since he needed to open his wall-in to get the techlab. Zerg adding 2 spine-crawlers to be defend against a reaper and maybe a possible mech switch by TLO.
- 13:21: TLO adding 2 factories and going for some hellions to harass Zergs expansion. MaDFroG putting down a roach warren and TLO trying to slow push the Zergs expansion with a Tank, 2 Marauder and putting up an offensive bunker to be safe against any try by the Zerg to defend the expansion.
- 13:24: MaDFroG looses his expansion, but manages to take out the initial attack by TLO with some really good Roach micro. Zerg also researchign burrow for the Roaches.
- 13:26: Zerg taking the Gold Minerals expansion and his natural again and getting some more roaches. TLO taking his expanion now and adding some Thors and tanks to his army mixing them with a few Marauders.
- 13:28: MaDFroG harassing with his burrowed Roaches at TLOs natural expansion.
- 13:30: TLO now moving out with his army to take out the Zergs main and MaDFroG actually countering this and we can see a base trade here.
-13:31: With some good Tank positioning TLO is able to take out the Zergs Gold Minerals and to have the upper hand in the end with 2 Thors a couple of Marauders and a Tank while Zerg suicides his last 6 Zerglings into TLOs units. MaDFroG types out, while we saw a really great bo5 series by both players.
