Sheth takes down rocks at his gold.  Sheth takes gold as his 3rd.

Drops starting, baneling speed researching.

Spire going up.  Sheth taking his 4th.  Mutas incoming, burrow and roach speed being researched.

First big battle in the middle looks like Sheth lost focus or something..  Select has clear lead.

Sheth forced to GG.

WOW!  Way to GO Sheth, defended VERY well.

Selecct has Siege tech done.  Sheth is taking his gold as 3rd.  Researching burrow, and starting to pump Infestors.  Taking normal 3rd as 4th with great creep spread already connecting bases.

Sheth is massing lings and Infestors, some BIG fungals.  Constant ling upgrades.  Double Evos.

Select tries to take his gold as 3rd.

YES Ultra cavern building.  Neural Parasite being researched.  Sheth stops Selects attack on his gold cold.  Ultra's on the way.

Delayed Bunker rush, no spine crawler up.  :-(  Three bunker wall off.

Two spine crawlers are building, kills one SCV with Queen.  Another Sine on the way 3 way.Hatch taken out, three spines still alive.  Sheth rebuilds hatch at his natural.

Sheth is little up on food.

Baneling nest going down.  Lair started.

Spire started.  Blue flame upgraded started.  Sheth moves two spines to far edge of Main base for drop defense, still one spine at natural covering ramp.

Sheth taking his 3rd.  Select pushes with hellions and marines tries to snip 3rd but Sheth cleans it out, very nice.

Mutas start harassing, but Thor pops out.  Infestor pit building.

  Sheth taking 4th, about 25 food lead for Sheth.


Mutas gone wild nom nom on supply depots.

Wish Sheth would burrow some baneling at mineral line at 4th or 5th before they are taken to snipe SCv's.

Good creep spread, Select started creep killing and slow push.  Tons onf baneling morphs.  Only one or two Infestors.

Mutas hittsing 3rd base again.  And hits with ling bling in the middle when Select responds to mutas. GO Sheth!!!!

Yay  Select forced to GG.

Sheth takes it 2-1, means another best of 3 because of tournament structure.

Chaos, fungals broodlords in small numbers. pretty even back and forth.

DRops from select both north and south plus push in the middle.

BAck and forth, Select is taying maxed or near max while Sheth is staying around 155-160.  Sheth keeps getting outlying bases sniped.  Sheth can't seem to mass enough Broodlords & corrupters.
