eSTRO v STX Soul Set 3 (P2/2) Tester/Hyvaa v Calm/Hwasin

Hey all,
This is an exciting new series between the teams eSTRO and STX soul in the 2008 OnGameNet Proleague, played on 4/16/08. ESTRO was ranked lower than STX last year, and STX is fielding some big name players like Kal and Hwasin. can ESTRO overcome them with a relatively young and untested team?

Hmm, I wonder if the cannon strategy is so good if the Terran goes mech instead. But I suppose a top Z/P team would kill or greatly hurt the opposite Z before the mech units get out. Any more experienced 2v2 players have to comment on this? Is the cannon strategy specific for Hunters because of the thin, winding passageways?

nice game i'd like to see more 2v2 xD

Man, that was hard to watch but, like you said before, in Starcraft you have to be aggressive while maintaining a strong sense of macro or micro or both depending on the situation.

'Tis a lesson Calm learns the hard way.

ive seen it used on maps like katrina too it really helps alot if you give your zerg a (free) expo w/ gas that he doesnt need to waste larva to defend vrs the m&m push where in a 1v1 he would have to drop up to 3 sunks and keep his lings near to defend

great commentary! thanks so much cholera

hm..if calm left the creep colony alone and morphed it later then he probably wouldn't be practically dead the whole game

Poor Hwasin. He had to spend a lot of time babysitting his teammate.
