Week 5

Recap
The 5th out of 7th week of the King of SEA nation wars started out with basically the match of the season, and decider for the #1 league spot, the Australia vs Singapore match, so the majority of this recap will be focused on that and also because i had no time to see the other games held concurrently!

The first match was Tendersteak vs Yoon, tender being the second highest ranked Singaporean on the recent top 200 list. Tender and his bag of cheese came into this match with a 6-2 ladder record vs RedArchon and 3-1 vs Yoon, so expectations were high! Unfortunately for tender, he succumbed to the pressure and played really nervously (i was at his house lol witnessing it all lol, he gets that way whenever the matches are streamed) so he just got steamrolled 2-0 by yoon lol! Like right after that game tender went to ladder and met RedArchon and beat him again ezpz lol.

Anyway next up was ME! vs legionnaire, as said above, this match was probably the highlight match of this war as game2 and game3 were actually pretty interesting pvp games. Nirvana beats leg 2-1, tieing the Au vs SG score at 1-1. We were now at the third and much anticipated rematch, OXY vs GLADE! Sad thing was an hour ago oxy had msged me saying that his family bought some tickets to somewhere at the very last minute and he couldnt play. So i called up anavar to replace him. First game was glade won pretty easy with mass mutas, 2nd game glade 6pooled allined with his drones only to meet a wall in lol. So we went to the final game where Anavar actually had a decent shot at winning but he didnt attack at the right timing, and instead chose to mass bcs which led to glade just macroing it up and winning with more money and more units. it was a good effort tho! Final game was actually played in advance and we didnt have time to cast it. basically ice won azz 2-0, and game 2 is an epic replay which must be seen, gonna post it later. Anyway, SG2, AU2, Ace match time!! Well not much to say, i was out of practise was counting on oxy or ice to play the Ace. Of course Ice instant quit bnet on purpose the moment it went to Ace cause he wasnt confident of playing so he didnt want to play leaving poor me to get steamrolled by glade 2-0. First game i just got roflstomped and 2nd game i went the worse BO vs his BO and made some poor decisions. So australia takes the series 3-2! And will probably be this seasons champs, as expected.

As for the other matches, I heard from NZ caster Navi the Nz vs Vn games were close and good, with Nz winning 3-1, with Nz SuperStar Kowi yet again gaining a win for NZ and driving them forward. New VN player Okharon suprisingly managed to take out stellar New Zealand protoss TinyTwo, gaining Vietnams sole match victory, so good job Okharon! Do check out the replays below.

Thailand also beat Philippines 3-1 with WeeChoochoo again the only player taking a game for Phillippines, although he did play twice after Jumpmans permission since PH were short of players. RedArchon continued his dominance not dropping a single map in about 5 sets of Nation War games. I believe he is 10-0 now.

All in all, it has been another great week of nation war matches! Stay tuned next week for the 2nd last week of the nation wars!!
