Blizzard NA Invitational Sheth vs Select

Go Sheth!

Spoiler Alert




Game 1  Cross Map Spawns on Backwater Gulch

Sheth does a gas steal.  Select going reacter Hellions.  Just two hellions then switching to tanks.  Sheth is going roaches.

Fast Roach push.  Bunker with marine & Marauder holds it off no problem.

Stim done.  Medivacs on the way, using reactor.  Sheth taking his 3rd.  Mass slowlings.  Loses all the Roaches from the first push.  Matrine + coupleMaruaders chase slowlings all the way back, end up sniping Sheth's 3rd.

Sheth is counter attcking Select's Natural.

But Select dropping main.  Spawning pool sniped.  Crazy.  Don't think Sheth has a chance this game.  Select has twice the food of Sheth.

Sheth tapps out.

Game one goes to Select 1-0

Game 2  Metalopolis  Close by Air spawns.

Select does 2 Rax, hides 2nd Rax.  Hatch pool I think?

Bunker rush.  At base of ramp.

First SCV killed.  More SCV comes over.  Walls 1 marine in behind non finished bunkers and ramp.

Lag Spikes and Tech issues :-(



Okay one bunker on low ground (sheth's base) and one going down on upper ground.  Sheth takes them out somehow, sorry tech problems no pucture half the time

One spine crawler at the Natrual.  Speed for lings just started.

Big marnine push.  Sheth making lots of lings.  Lings from all angles.  Drones pulled.  Spinecrawler goes down, Sheth pushed back marine push.

Select is keeping marine pressure up.

Ling Speed is done!!!!

  44 Food for Sheth vs 34 food Select.

Roach Warren going down.  Lair on the way.  BAneling nest going down.

Siege tanks & stim on the way.

Spire on the way.  Sheth has his  3rd hatch building.  Baneling speed getting researched.

Six Mutas being made, 4th hatch going down.  Drop inbound, Sheth spotted it & kills it!!

Marine Tank with couple Marauders and Medivac push toward Sheth's Main, sieges below Main.

Sheth counter attack the natural with speedlings, holds the push with Mutas and few lings.  Select forced to lift his Natural Orbital.  Another wave of mutas poop and bunch of banelings on the field now.

Sheth gets to start harass with mutas, defends with lings.  Good defense of spawning pool, save it with a transfuse.  Why don't any Zerg make proactive 2n spawning pool?!?



Baneling smash Natural and wall at top of ramp forces Select to GG.

Score even 1-1

Game 3  Shakuras Plateau   Cross spawns.



Sheth 15ish hatch first then pool then gas.

1 Rax 1 Factory.  Reactor Hellions on the way.Speed for lings half done.  Stim started.  Spinecrawler.

Sheth takes down first two hellions, all that Select has made so far for hellions.

Spire on the way.  Taking fast 3rd base at the 4th position (ninja/hiding it).

Double medivac drop.  Ouch!!  Sheth lost 3 queens & some Mutas.

Drop harasss vs Mutaa ling.  Baneling speed almost done, burrow about 1/3 done.

Select trying to take 3rd.  Spotted by Mutas, they take out SCV's and one turrent there.  Select making that CC into a PF.



Select has about a 17 food lead.  Bunch of Muta micro, Sheth gets small food lead.  But Select pulls ahead again.

Big counter in the center, tons of banelings with muta support.  Sheth equalizes food count again.

  Drops finally take out Sheth's 3rd that was at 4th location.  Responds with double expos.  Select on 3 baes.

Select has 50 + food lead.

4th base for Select going down. 

Select takes down one Expo.  Select takes out another expo. :-(

Sheth keeps losing banes to tank fire, can't connect with them vs marines off creap.

Sheth keeps fighting, till he looses hsi Mutas to a MArine pack.  Sheth GG.

Select takes Series 2-1
