Mong trying to change the meta by taking a second main as 3rd base, and then a second nat as 4th. He was mining out those bases way earlier than usual, which means they wouldn't be targets in the very late game, when Zerg can dominate the map. Plus the infantry style allowed him to keep a much larger vessel ball and protect it against scourge more easily. I think things took a huge turn when he lost all his vessels on the edge of his main in the lategame. Soulkey's persistence with a healthy mix of ult/ling/defiler/scourge kept the pressure up for a long time, and eventually Mong cracked. I loved his dropship tactics early on as well. First he pincers the lurkers on the ramp at Soulkey's 3rd, a really good attempt to open that base up to ground reinforcements; then he hit the main with that d-matrix dropship attack. I feel like this is the best TvZ I've ever seen.
It was a nice attempt. But the big problem was the absence of vultures and mines. That made things waaaay too easy for Soulkey since he didn't have to worry about cleaning mining fields to make path for the ultralisks. He would have won the match, had he make vultures.
It almost looked like soulkey was about to give up there a couple times and then again at the end. Or was he just saying that mong should give up...? Either way, exciting game to watch!
Omg so crazy match !! Mong had no chance all game, with out swiching to vultures/tanks, but he decided to play old school game - which is very very hard

THANK YOU for uploading content like this. It's amazing
This was by far the most exciting TvZ I've watched so far. It was unclear who'd win until the end. Kudos to both players and thanks for uploading!
nothing beats a good broodwar tvz
+Kasper Hörnkvist Agreed.
SC:BW DUAL FPVODs Can anyone beat soulkey? He is unstoppable.
+Weibo Chen I'll make sure to post some of his losses then. :)

Sick. This was one of the very few matches where it was truly unclear who would win...
24:28 that was an insane commitment
Omg so crazy match !! Mong had no chance all game, with out swiching to vultures/tanks, but he decided to play old school game - which is very very hard
Awesome match!

I think if he added more firebats in lategame can help him quite a lot for lings cleaning
this zerg needs more practice
