Players: WhiteRa (P) vs. TheLittleOne (T)
Map: Scrap Station
Match Begins: 1:32

Moments of Interest:

2:50 – WhiteRa is known to “cheese” more than other top level players so TheLittleOne scouts the bottom of his base for a pylon to ensure that WhiteRa isn’t trying a proxy or cannon rush.

4:55 - TheLittleOne micros his Marines perfectly in order to block the the Probe and interrupt its pathing, denying the scout.

6:01 - WhiteRa attempts to break through TheLittleOne’s wall-in by focusing the supply depot.

6:07 - When TheLittleOne unloads his bunker, a single Marine comes out of the wrong side. He immediately reloads the Marine to keep it safe.

6:14-6:32 – WhiteRa changes his focus from the supply to depot to the repairing SCVs whenever they come into attack range. This micro is necessary in order to slow and deny the repair in order to break the wall. After TheLittleOne loses one of his repairing SCVs, he decides to stop repairing with the second one and instead orders it to build a second supply depot right behind the first.

6:55 – Unfortunately, the new supply depot didn’t provide a completely tight wall after the first was destroyed, allowing Zealots to enter TheLittleOne’s base. This was a catastrophic mistake that sealed his fate.

7:07 - TheLittleOne cleverly uses his SCVs to not simply repair the Siege Tank, but to also create a barrier preventing the Zealot from attacking it.

7:14 - WhiteRa quickly moves his Stalkers to the right in order to let his Zealots through the small gap on the left.
