WR5 SC2 at IPL5: Leenock vs. TheStC Recap

Game 1 on Entombed Valley

Leenock opens up with a fifteen-hatch and mines gas relatively early. TheStC opens normally with one barracks and a command center. He then builds double factory, indicating blue flame hellion. With the extra gas, Leenock goes for fast infestors and lacks the proper defense for the mobile hellions, which wreck havoc on his natural.

Leenock defends though TheStC has done significant economic damage. Leenock counters with his infestors and is able to even up the battle by taking out several SCVs. The Zerg techs up to brood lords, whereas TheStC commits to a heavy mech build, teching up with Thors. Once he scouts the brood lords, TheStC queues up vikings. However, he does not have enough to combat Leenock's incredible air force and he gives up the first game to Leenock.

Game 2 on Metropolis

TheStC does not go for an economical opening and denies Leenock any information by pushing away overlords with his marines. He again goes for hellions and marines, which Leenock senses. In response, he queues up seventeen zerglings to prepare for incoming aggression.

TheStC commits to a one-base all-in, bringing forth all of his SCVs to attack Leenock's natural. Leenock is able to defend rather easily with well-timed banelings and he sends TheStC to the Loser Bracket.

Match Score: Leenock 2 - 0 TheStC
