Game 1 on King Sejong.

sOs takes 3 quick bases and goes into triple stargate void rays. He sends like 4 voids and the mship core down to the 4th to try to snipe the 4th base from the protected high ground area, Soulkey has some hydras + a spore or two around and denies him. Soulkey goes around and up the ramp to that position with some hydras, snipes the mothership core but reinforcement voids come to save the first 4 voids from dying. With like 9 void rays at the 4th base now, he turns on the charge and annihilates the spores + hatch, but of course lost the ability to recall the voids safely from the earlier snipe.

Meanwhile, Soulkey has 18 mutas popping, and with those + help from a few hydras he kills all the void rays.

Anyone watching this game would be recognize that losing nine void rays is a MASSIVE, MASSIVE loss for Protoss here despite the damage done to Zerg by killing his 4th. Artosis says something like "if he could have recalled it's gg, but instead loses all the voids" nonchalantly without seeming to understand/care that it's actually a huge ****ing deal. As all the voids die, it's now 151-127 in supply. sOs' entire army is 14 zealots (which started tearing down the rocks during the VR attack to harass Soulkey from behind), with 1 sentry and a rebuilt mothership core at home. THAT'S HIS ENTIRE ARMY.

Meanwhile Tastosis are orgasming about the multitasking of sOs with the zealot harass. It is effective, and kills the 5th base (the one you have to build pretty forward) and some drones, but poor focus firing means he fails to kill any of the first 3 bases or any important tech buildings. Back home he goes into triple phoenix production while continuing with zealot harass, as Soulkey starts making corruptors to deal with the phoenixes. With the 4th and 5th dying though, Soulkey starts staying home and with his army no longer spread out, the zealot harass stops being very effective (except at denying his 4th from getting up again).

With supplies at 145-120 (for Soulkey):
Artosis: "he's just tearing him apart everywhere"
Tasteless: "sOs is tearing him a new one, uh, wow..."
Artosis: "...this is crazy..."
Tasteless: "...this is a total beat down"
Artosis: "He's like the Octo-Toss right now, he's absolutely everywhere"

Meanwhile, in the real world, ~equal worker counts, equal bases, and sOs' entire army is phoenixes (15) and the existential threat of zealot harass. With 11 corruptors and 14 mutas, Soulkey starts going into hydra production again.

Ironically, the casters choose this moment to make a meta joke about how people accuse them of losing passion/not playing:
Artosis: "He has so many phoenixes, if he didn't grab that drone before it could start the hatch he could have even lifted up the hatchery if it was made"
Tasteless: "<laughs, does a fake voice> No Artosis, excuse me I need to e-mail Gom about this, that one is not accurate game analysis"
Artosis: "<joins in doing the fake voice> Artosis doesn't even know, he doesn't play the game"

If only this entire game wasn't building credibility to that argument.

Zealots finish off the 4th base a second time, but while sOs has been spending all this time and money on disposable harassing units, Soulkey has been cranking out units and now has 185-145 supply. With these armies:



he marches up to sOs' natural ramp and straight up kills him. It took some good corruptor micro to get the colossi (another one popped shortly after above screenshot, and those were the only things that really threatened Soulkey) w/o losing all the corruptors to voids, but once that fell it was over. The casters never saw any of this coming because they were too busy spending the entire game fapping over sOs.

gg guys.
