Bahahahahaha. Bahahaha. Bahaha. Ha.
Sorry, had to finish laughing at the insanity of Set #3 before I could start writing this. Kulas Ravine is by far the worst map for Zerg, exposing them to so many attacks and being incredibly difficult to defend your expansions. At least, this is what is normally true. In the mystical world of Fruit Dealer, maps apparently don't matter.
The set begins with Fruit Dealer almost immediately expanding to the Gold expo above his main and sending some of his workers up early. HopeTorture, noting the low amount of workers at Fruit Dealer's main, immediately went looking for hidden expos and spotted the Gold. My heart sagged as soon as that happened, as I thought this was a huge mistake by Fruit Dealer.
HopeTorture quickly assembled a tank, medivac, and some marines(to snipe the overlord and blind his opponent to the tank on the ledge) to drop onto the ledge overlooking the gold expo in order to take it out. Fruit Dealer put up a pair of Spine Crawlers to defend and snuck three Roaches in behind the ledge to take care of the marines(clever Fruit Dealer!). I was just about to label this expo secure when in comes a Viking to succeed where the marines failed, taking out the overlord and giving the siege tank free reign to begin destroying Fruit Dealer's expansion.
BUT! While we(including the casters, Tasteless and Artosis) were distracted with this action, we suddenly heard the heart-stopping cry of a Nydus Worm! The gold expansion had been an elaborate distraction to allow Fruit Dealer to build a Nydus Network in secret and surprise HopeTorture in his own main! Out comes a stream of slavering speedlings, running rampant within the barely defended base.
Caught completely out of position and with no hope of salvaging it, HopeTorture said good game and put the score at a resounding 3-0 for Fruit Dealer!
