WC3 - Yule Cup 2: Quarterfinal: [UD] 120 vs. Sok [HU]

our first match of the day won 2-0 vs. sock in the quarterfinals of yo cup - in a best-of-three historically won 2-0 has the big upper hand here it says 80% win rate if we look at war 3 info it's in fact a 90 percent win rate with 9 wins - 1 - 0 and only one - sock in the 1 victory that sock was able to get was in a best of 1 so sock never really able to defeat 1 to 0 in a full best of 3 or best of five series is today gonna be the first day or will the undead king of China prevail he is going into this as certainly the favorite but we have seen sock play really well recently taking games off of happy as well that may have been online which is of course a bit of a handicap for the Europeans but still very impressive humans have had some issues in this matchup for a little while now it seemed but recently it's been getting better for the Alliance for the humans back at WGAL we saw mostly one base play one base tier 3 rush and heavy emphasis on triple hero rifles upgrades but more recently the last couple of weeks the Great's and those being th in fee but also soccer have been playing a lot more expansion heavy again early expansion into tech later tier 3 triple hero and then mostly nights actually nights gyros the age-old human combo against undead that is of course so far the bills are looking extremely standard 1 to 0 with a normal Ted fiend build one to zero had a I almost want to say a very strong performance a very strong showing a WJ up I was top four it was good it was strong but this is where we expect once to find him if he's in good shape and a wgl he was in good shape but th did defeat him there with a three to one in the semi-finals and was a moon no wait never mind it was a moon defeating him I'm sorry th was beaten by happiness and my finals of course a little bit too loud so what to 0 is starting off with creeping not with the instant DK harass which is what happy showed plenty of times ad wgl and this is re to keep in mind I'll keep on mentioning WG uh but really it seemed to be a big pointer of what the meta was at that time but again the meta has shifted a little bit normally in this matchup it's always the human determining dictating where the game goes and the undead expanding human could go for fast expansion human could go for two two expansion human can go for Tier three expansion even or human can just play one base on tier three getting triple hero and good upgrades later on takes a while to come online of course and yeah that's always gonna be the one to react with a fast tech trying to get to higher technology as quickly as you can because undead is very very very reliant on Tier three much more so than the other races in most cases soccer is not expanding yet now would be the time if he was too tech or to expand going for more footage this is certainly looking like an expansion here 33 supply tech that will be extremely late so it should be the expo buy stock as we look at the undead main halfway through already DK didn't get anything didn't get any steals so far and if you were asked with a level 1 DK will you rely on finding peasant kills creeps deals with the coil as you do require level 2 very badly finally comes the militia call this is an easy expansion this is the easiest expansion in the game look at how is it afraid look at how cautious I want to say cautious shock is being he's expanding with six-foot ease and seven militia that is understandable on maps like AZ maybe especially on old maps like Turtle Rock but here this seems almost overly cautious but it's not only about getting the expansion surely up that always would be the case but the more units you have the harder it is for the DK to find weakness and to get last hits deals the cake oil does land there was a big one that was desperately required this is what the fiend does yeah and you can shoot from ranged onto the big creep and then get the perfectly timed call to get the last hit and because sock waited so long to get the expansion attempt going that's what bought the time for one to zero to get the first fiend oftentimes you can creep this and get all the creeps killed before the fiend arrives but sock took a little bit too much time perhaps but at least it was safe I think only a single peasant died if even a single peasant died but the expansion is coming up no further pressure a.m. is creeping up more getting quickly to level 3 it's always a big headache if a.m. doesn't get level 3 in time and suddenly the Lich arrives the fiends arrive the statue arrives that's the most dangerous thing and you're not level 3 I am but this is a good map for creeping level 3 with Archmage you get the green into the green into the green into the green if you need all those camps which are all safe you candidly get punished too hard and this is why this is a very good early expansion map for human as we move towards tier 2 and towards the mid-game and that of course will be becoming stronger the Lich is out slaughterhouse is coming up and statues will be coming so the next question that what 2-0 has to ask is do I want to be aggressive or just keep on creeping normally nowadays all the top undeads agree that creeping is not the right choice and you want to pressure pressure pressure look for kills look for tower cancel don't let the human do what he wants don't let him do run buys look for damage at all times and then the second question becomes when is the tech gonna start players like happy oftentimes take very quickly on only 30 supply so three fiends nothing else well three fiends plus the heroes of course and then taking before the first statue the Chinese attempt for the longest time was with a later tech going first into morphine's and more statues for a stronger tear to present and then going Tier three which means you're stronger in the mid-game but it takes longer until you get Tier three where finally the end that becomes the strongest and he reaches his full potential human tech speed also very important and stock is pretty fast with this he is with his tier too fast and the under tier three that's always a good sign oh and he gets us around there on a fiend as well might be able to fight out but Sauk holds us around that's nicely done this can be a little bit deceptive though it looks nice when you get a fiend kill but when you lose five footies for it it may not necessarily be worth it it wasn't five footage they were lost over here I think it was only three then quite exactly count them all but it was a few also a bit of man I expanded from the unlit of course thank you very much Maximillian with a first donation of the day for Euro 50 looking so forward to happy versus romantic readings from Munich oh it's up this thank you very much I fully numbers are very important this is what stabilizes you around the expansion this is what keeps you safe against the fiends this is what protects your towers in the back I'm kind of surprised that these low footie numbers are working out so well because it's not many at all it's like only four or five six at a time other players like th and MT we oftentimes will see going up to ten for these eleven footies and I almost never think that that's a mistake yes they will be pretty useless once tier three is ready but they by the time to get the human tech rolling as well one two zero with his signature late coils he keeps his fiends in danger intentionally to bait more attacks on them and then save them at the last second making the human overextend forcing more losses on the human side but this game is looking ok so far for sock MK is coming up Tier three is what he really wants but he's going sanctum before tier 3 oh and losing the blacksmith would hurt but there is a power repair here that is expensive of course the blacksmith remains standing numbers a little bit low for shock he would love to go to your three I think he just started right yeah he does and does not have reinforced defenses yet level two now for the Lich level three for the DK and Annette has map control has the much stronger army now and tech should be close to finished for one to zero yes it is destroy form on the way and that has multiple options at this stage in the game and there was decent damage done but not critical damage so and they can always go for destroy or bust the good old undead strategy from way back in the day but it's a risk if it doesn't work the game normally ends and not in the under its favor tower expansion is an option meat wagon siege is an option mass fiend mass upgrade triple hero is an option one two zero is a player who does sometimes like to counter expand much more so than happy in this matchup but currently there seemed to be no intentions in that direction a WGL from happy we saw plenty of dual hero only glitch DK of course and which was considered to be not that viable before but he made it work really well and one to zero is playing it here as well when in the past 1 to 0 was mostly going for dark Ranger very quickly on tier 3 these are the slight meta changes that a world champion can have impact on in the world of warcraft 3 talking about happy here of course who with his victory at WGL influenced kind of everyone and especially the undead's of course the shop is broken - the towers are exposed right now this is a little bit scary but sock is coming in for the defense first gyro is up looking to counter this destroyer no.1 fiend they're very close to dying very surprised 1 to 0 doesn't have web upgrade yet that you have to expect these gyros to come in and once you're at fifty supply that is logical time to go for web but so far not too many gyros perhaps no web required m'kay does one get one fiend finally in the back but it was all of his man I expended for only the single fiend and it's getting scary for some these fiends are getting more upgrades as well hard extremely hard to kill right here the statute this is what makes this possible the statue backbone statue up time once is there one of the best in the game to always make sure he has this constant region and of course humans before they get a really big army on tier 3 have a very tough time taking up statues sorry spying time tier 3 must be finished - Palli is on the way more gyros and Knights to be coming soon as well I imagine but the pressure is mounting it's all about this expansion here this is kind of reminiscent of Happy's play no counter expansion no creepin at all just pressure pressure pressure push push push and try to break the human so I will just love to be left alone right now we'd love to stack up on resources get the high nights and gyro numbers and then steamroll over this fiend army fiend army which is now enough keep at 58 supply and two old upgrades and a dog Ranger finally being added in only later though only once there's like at least 5 fiends level three on the Lich that's a big one and once the forward towers are exposed or our taken out excuse me the peasants behind are exposed and just Sal it with right clicks and a couple of Novas can do tremendous damage towards the expansion and suck it's looking pretty rough for him now this Expo holds all the trip will silence on the a.m. and everyone else and the a.m. gets coiled not quick enough with the TP suck in serious trouble now the gyres are coming in but it's not too many they can all just get webbed one theme is gonna fall the Knights are valuable units though stock doesn't want to lose them for no reason they will fall in the DK double silence again this dark Ranger silence is just impeccable gg from suck 104 1 2 0 1 2 0 gets the first map win the favorite the historical yeah winner of this encounter I guess historically it's 9 to 1 in 1 2 zeroes favored in the war 3 info stats as we can see here in the penguin sky Cup soccer did come to win there was only a one oh not a full series that question of course is now where was the mistake from sock well to start things off the expansion was kind of late and he got the resources very very late only he had expanded with four footies or was it wasn't more was four or five footies seven militia that seemed like overkill to me and even with all his forces there he couldn't prevent the level to decay because the fiend got there in time to secure the big last hit on the over mage eye which makes a big big big difference also fully numbers in my opinion were way too low he never got up to the big big big footy numbers where he can push the on that back all the way across the map often times but sock has shown in the past that he can absolutely get victories off of the greatest undeads it was against happy where also in the penguin skycap he got a one old victory and a two old victory that was in August so only two months ago in general the matter versus unlit is one of Sox stronger ones seems like the weakest right now or going to the stats for him is versus Night Elf and his matchup versus unlit at 54% is actually his best but of course there's quite a few unlit in the scene if we look at that Tier three ranks with TBC PCG Xiao CAI there's quite a few out there also Europe under tier two tier three seen very well represented but playing against them and playing against happy or 1 to 0 is always a very very different story and this has been the the case for honestly the last four years at least that happy n120 are at the top and everyone else is just so far behind w of z made it into the quarter-finals here as well which is a nice achievement for him but to be fair that was because of foggy donating that game to him we'll be seeing him later versus in fee I think that's the next match actually where it is the human going into it as the favorite thank you very much Jack Mayall with a 4-month resub our second match is about to begin so let's hop in soak in the top right Amazonia the second map which surprises me that is normally the undead counterpick expansion on Amazonia can be a little bit scary but against undead usually it really shouldn't be because undead pressure early on is very weak if under plays the meta the meta is decay early with late fiends the so called Tet fiend build we have seen some variation from 1 to 0 especially on this map with a Lich first ghoul play trying to break down the expansion before it even comes up in that did see some success 1 to 0 in general has been very creative and experimental these last couple of weeks and months actually but mostly when he did that mostly when he was experimenting it was in smaller tournaments it was especially in qualifiers the WGL qualifiers but this is a big tournament this is big prize money this is elimination mode we have no lower bracket no safety net and when it comes to these matches these high stakes matches once there does mostly play standard anything standard here again with a Ted fiend build one more time we have been seeing from humans a bit more MK first against undead recently as well but this is certainly not a good map to do that on few players like Yumiko will do it anywhere but it's kind of a preference thing as well and sock doesn't seem to be too fond of the MK first versus undead the normal opening here for undead is to actually creep this camp first or this one and what is here instead is trying to be aggressive right away ho when almost got surrounded trying to get the lasted on the rogue he could have gotten it if he commended with his skeletons to it so kind of surprised he didn't do that does get the last hit anyways though and normally if human creeps this perfectly the DK shouldn't be in arriving in time to seal anything so was there an acolyte involved oh yes there was sorry I was talking so much I kind of missed that perhaps Sark will still be getting level two over here though and what 2-0 is using a lot of his skeletons very early on we have a cigarette before the fiend this time which is only a tiny thing but if you go fiend before ziggurat that means your first fiend is out faster and number two and three later so that means basically you can harass the expansion better but it's gonna take longer until you get really strong with or fairly strong with three fiends but again Sark is taking his time waiting for six footies before expanding as I mentioned earlier this can be a painful creep camp the number one trap that humans can fall into is getting the water elemental and snared so actually running in right now a Zen snares on cooldown would be perfect but of course he needs militia as well good thing about this camp for human is there's three magic immune targets that can't be coiled stolen so we're level three is very very reliable normally on this map for the humans okay here we go militia called how many do we have this time three six nine militia that's a record for me I don't think I've ever seen nine before so one watermelon gets there to watch elementals get ensnared oh that's not good good thing he brought so many militia when a watch element gets ensnared it loses agro meaning all the creep damage will go onto the hoodies and peasants instead that was a nice surround though by sock well done in the DK but got barely anything right there the rest of the camp goes to the human the trappers in the back the only thing it could be coil stolen and that's level three boom again I think sock is playing a little too cautiously this once again is gonna mean that the expansion is pretty late one two zero with the ledge kind of delayed slaughterhouse and ziggurat before the ledge this kind of makes sense as well of course with him wanting to creep the DK up I guess the good thing for human and everyone in this map is that level 3 is easy this also goes for the death knight the first lab creep here is probably the most valuable camp in all of Warcraft when you consider a difficulty for experience reward and now with level 3 sock is pretty strong with his foot ears as well he knows the DK is heard he knows that DK can't have too much mana so as long as he staying off of flight sock has map control well sock just has map control in general it's gonna change a little bit once fiends and I mean lunch and stateõs come into the mix and the Lich is out it's a lot of footage which I do like again I think - men numbers are the key how many is this 8 8 foot is in to defend that sounds good and there is the defend doesn't even lose a single one a.m. got the lasted as well on the big cobalt what did they let you get it no I would have been more oh look at the sniper skeleton looking for the footy on the retreat that's a very advanced play right there no biting the foot is again it's gonna be one more kill but that's to Nova's from the Lich he's close to out of mana now and the defendants gonna be finishing in just a moment here and we do have a shredder by the way so stop going really heavy for the late game this time around also a nice thing on a Z you can easily get a shredder more easily than on any other map but here the statues now know here is the statue now and this is where the pressure starts mounting from the undead side this is where the defend Fotis have to come in and 40 production stops and I think this is the first big mistake by sock you should really not stop for the production is he forgetting about it or is this intentional certainly has the resources seems like he just forgot about it and easy for me to criticize of course there's a lot of stuff going on for the human he needs to make sure not to lose anything unnecessarily he needs to macro a lot getting towers up getting peasants getting farms probes and pylons probes and pylons you guys know that so easy to criticize but yeah it should be basically non-stop fully production until you have like 11 up to a certain point of course when I'm it's Tier three you don't want to make footies anymore normally and with more footmen falling in the two statutes providing constant region it is one to zero here also finding more experience this water elemental will be level three for him oh it's a lot of towers in the back but men coming in from the main but yet the the stop for the production also the photos are always clumped up you want to have the footage ideally in two separate groups so they can't all get nobody and they keep all getting nobody which is not ideal when the Mk comes out things are gonna be getting a lot easier for soccer but it's still gonna be a while once again the late expansion is delaying everything else 1 to 0 is tier 3 I thought you're still needed a while went for safety spirit hour in the main as well but turns out he's not needing it because there's so much pressure from those fiends that sock has no choice to or no chance to counter-attack he's what I thought it looked like he was about to counter-attack but I don't think that's doable one arcane very close to dying we have a first attack upgrade on the fiends already by the way and that arcane falls and that's a big deal that means the DK can freely go in and put a bit more dams on the towers as well because it doesn't get mad abend anymore I am also not having the boots is very questionable if you have the boots you can put much more pressure on fiends and statues and can pass it over to the MK later so it gets one fiend kill at least and this didn't cost him too much there was no Cola Nova ready to punish this and surprise a little bit more time I was coming up in the back more and more MK is desperately desperately needed he is coming the good thing for Sarkis thanks to the shredder he has infinite lumber basically so he can go for sanctum tech hero everything I am Scotia for that's very nice if he gets one more kill could perhaps militia creep this one and yet missing our can't our is really a problem especially the Lich has more matter than he should but M case finally here and that does help who destroys morph though these footies have outlived their usefulness so now it's time to transition workshop coming breakers coming tier three is pretty close also the Sim City edits expansion is not looking that good if the shop was further forward and there was two farms there earlier and then towers behind they would be much more protected we have seen much better sim cities from human before no orb yet but might be on the way there's no backpack though and of course or doesn't help against towers and towers the only thing really that's being any kind of threat or rather any type of resistance I should say these footies will be taken out even without the orb easily three destroyers now very unusual to see so many nowadays I imagine one to zero has the web upgrade as well and income the gyros yep web is there suck he's just not finding any footing maybe if he gets the ledge kill but the coil is ready the double statues always double statues always always always absolutely essential plus have him in the right position obviously so much pressure on sock this whole game what can save him paladin nights maybe he got one destroy kill which is decent and almost a fiend one to zero could go for a third hero doctor Ranger now I'm really surprised he hasn't gotten there we go there's backpack to bring the orb from the main doesn't have the time to go back to the main with the hero so he wants to keep up the pressure so the tools are gonna be brain excuse me cool they're gonna be bringing it sock no bank to speak of he's gonna bring everything here soon but no mining anymore this is already problematic once a couple of towers fall and peasants are exposed like this it's always dangerous which has the Nova has the region from the statues Sim City not the greatest buy stock this game and again overly cautious with the expansion timing in my opinion on the way back the ghoul brings the orb gets the dark Ranger after this school is being very efficient us Germans appreciate that and yeah with the order with silence is becoming even harder for soccer it was hard enough already I'm sure he's of the opinion one cool device finally level 4 how long did this take him but it just means that once there could go for another destroyer if he wants webbing the gyros in the back and then fighting against only a very low number of them two destroyers will easily beat two gyros of course ten supply versus - very well done one two zero not breaking a sweat close to perfect micro to be honest this fight is not that hard to micro triples silence again the human numbers of just inferior this fight is not we're shocked lost this game it was before when he wasn't able to get his economy up and games like these triggered the shift in the meta at the last WGL when humans were not expanding anymore but we're going tier 3 on one base instead which was also absolutely viable and very often successful but as I pointed out earlier the bed I hit back again towards fast expansion and suck for him it doesn't work today stock losses 1 to 0 moves on the favorite prevails
