Hite SparkyZ 3:2 eSTRO

Hite SparkyZ emerges victory after a hard battle against eSTRO. A very Interesting
series where Hite came back from a 0:2 start.

Game 1: herb(P) hyvaa(Z)

hvyaa from eSTRO started with a over pool into tri-hatch build, herb went for a
Forge > nexus > 2 cannon opening. For mid game , Hyvaa went for Lurkers, while
herb did a successful Dark templar drop harassment inside Hyvaa's main. Although
Hyvaa was able to delay herb's push timing. Hyvaa seized his chance and built a
hatchery right outside Herb's base, and setup a defense matrix with sunken and
lurkers. Herb massed up a good amount of army and passed by Hyvaa's block
before he complete the defense, and he was able to destroy the 3rd expansion of
Hyvaa. But hyvaa macroed hard with the 2 base remaining and was able to clear
out herb's force that passed by the block earlier. Then hyvaa used everything he
can to block the protoss inside his base. The game ended up in Hyvaa's favor after a
few failed attempt from herb trying to break the block.

Game 2: go.go(T) SangHo(P)

go.go Start the game off with a usual wall in T v P build, SangHo did a pretty normal
opening as well. go.go's counter attack with initial Tank and rines went too far, and
it was cleared by SangHo with ease. Then go.go tried to do some Dropship
harassment, but it failed miserably since he didn't really get enough probe counts
as he was expecting. Also meanwhile go.go's expansion was much later than
SangHo. When go.go tried to float his Command Center to his neutral, with only 3
tanks on the cliff, SangHo was able to force go.go to drag a lot of his SCVs into the
battle. It severely damaged go.go's economy. The game went one sided afterward.
eSTRO was looking pretty good with a 2:0 lead after this game.

Game 3 Sea.Leta(T) Sea.Really(T)

The game ended in Leta' favor in a pretty quick fashion, where leta did a proxy
barrack rush in middle of the map while Really failed to scout this proxy barrack out.
Marines took the game for Leta! The eSTRO's new terran star failed to give the team
a 3-0 Victory.

Hite SparkyZ 1:2 eSTRO

Game 4: Yellow[ArnC](Z) UpMagic(T)

Yellow went for a 12 pool into fast muta build, UpMagic went for a fast expansion
into mechanical units opening after he destroyed the neutral Gas on the map.
Upmagic tried to float his Factory out, but it got spotted by yellow. Then upgmagic
went for 2 starport wraith. It got a few drone kills, but it was not enough to turn the
game around after Yellow's Muta did tremendous damage in UpMagic's expansion
by taking out a few turrets, the Engineering Bay, Barrack, and also the COMMAND
CENTER with flawless muta-micro. UpMagic tried to come back into the game by
getting some Valkyries with mixed wraith against Yellow's mass Mutalisk and
scourge. But sadly, with 3 gas in Yellow's hand, he was able to run over UpMagic's
base with ease.

The 2 teams tied for a 2:2 at this point!

ACE GAME: Sea.Leta(T) UpMagic(T)

UpMagic went for a 1 factory into 1 starport build, Leta was able to scout this out.
Leta did a 2 starport mass wraith and turned the game into his favor by getting the
cloak upgrade for his wraith. He was also able to push UpMagic back in his base at
front. Leta dropped 2 tanks behind UpMagic's neutral and kept his opponent busy
defending everywhere. Mean while Leta took a 3rd expansion for himself and
macroed up a huge army and ran UpMagic over.
