BC2010 SC2 Invite: NEXGenius vs. Loner
Set 1: Xel’Naga Caverns - NEXGenius Wins
NEXGenius started out with a 1 gate into fast expand build, paying close attention not to allow Loner to scout it for an extended period of time. With the boosted economy NEXGenius outproduced Loner as well as keeping his colossus tech hidden from Loner. NEXGenius made one large push that won him the game.
Set 2: Metalopolis - Loner Wins
Loner began the game with a very standard build, while NEXGenius opted for a fast void ray. Loner stayed on the defensive, building viking to take care of the void ray harass. NEXGenius transitioned into a gateway/colossus army, while Loner continued to pump vikings and make bio. When NEXGenious pushed forward Loner’s mass number of vikings rendered NEXGenius’ colossus useless and his bio made quick with the gateway army. Loner’s counter-push quickly won him the game.
Set 3: Lost Temple - Loner Wins
Both players started with fairly normal builds, NEXGenius got early double gas, but shortly after it was scouted he pulled probes off of his second gas and opted for a early expand instead. Loner meanwhile reacted to the fast tech by making more units, after realizing there was no push coming, he went out to discover an expansion. Loner got a bunker set up inside NEXGenius’ expansion and with his larger army wiped the expansion off the map, along with a large portion of NEXGenius’ economy. Loner’s final push won him the game.
