Jinro vs Choya

MLG Anaheim

Missed first half of game 1, but the end was great.  Jinro got great offensive nuke down on a base, killing all the probes there.  Then finishes the game with a defensive nuke, taking out Choya's army.

Game 2, really impressive quick Voidray plus Stalkers on Metalopolis.  Choya's execution was perfect, he kept the voidray alive for very long time, took down at least 3 depots plus many SCV's.

Choya also had Phoenix out at his main in time to shut down Jinro's counterattack with a Banshee.  By the time Jinro managed to take out voidray, Choya had almost twice the food count & an expo at the natural.

Jinro was massing for an all in, but Choya hit his base with a flock of Phoenix and Jinro GG.

Game 3, Choya does DT rush and Jinro had no engineering bay & just dropped mule before DT's entered his base.  Jinro GG

Choya takes it 2-1

MLG Anaheim MMA vs Slush!

 Game 1 Slush did delayed gas, a bit like Spanishiwa's "Icefisher Build", but had very well timed build.  He did double Roach Warren, so he could research Roach Speed,Tunneling Claws, & Burrow all at once.  Timed to finish all at same time.

So he had a wicked timing attack with Roaches, snuck them into the main, while building his 3rd.

Only problem was MMA dropped Blueflame hellions in his base at same time as roaches were sneaking into the Terran base.  Since Slush had timed his 3rd base to be covered by this timing attack he didn't have anything for defense except Queen.

MMA killed 37 drones even though Slush was doing good micro with them, Slush burrowed first group of drones being attacked & MMA scaned to kill them!

Game 2 ended much faster, Blueflame + marine drop at main with Blue flame hellions at the natural at the same time, killed almost all the drones.  Slush was very mannered "GG WP" !

Hope Slush can figure out how to deal with this style of pressure before tomorrow's games because he will probably see more of it this weekend.
