Lost Temple
Both players opening strong, Nerchio goes with an early expansion at 2 minutes. With a hellion harassment he put a small amount of damage on Nerchio's main. Nerchio responds with a mid game Mutalisk harass at Strelok's natural expansion doing minimal damage before reinforcements arrive. Strelok held a strong influence in front of Nerchio's base. A good blend of siege tanks, marines and marauders with a handful of Vikings clinched this one for him resulting in a win against Nerchio's Speedling, Baneling and Mutalisk force.
Jungle Basin
Another strong opening, with an early expansion from Nerchio at 2 minutes. He pushes at around the 9.5 minute mark breaking defenses and running into the natural expansion doing a decent amount of damage. This was quickly stopped by the force Strelok had been building. A Banshee and Medivac drop harass on Nerchio's natural at the 14 minute mark didn't seem to do much damage and the second attempt a minute later was quickly put to an end with Nerchio's Banelings, Speedlings and Mutalisks. At the 16 minute mark, Strelok places a Planetary Fortress at the middle expansion slowly moving inwards to secure another win with Siege Tanks placed on the middle expansion Nerchios had.
Xel'Naga Caverns
Same general start as the past two matches, except Strelok decided to do a proxy barracks into a proxy bunker, then moving into a Hellion harass to win the game after just under 12 minutes.
Metalopolis
The match started well with some good drone micro to avoid the hellion harass that came at around 8 minutes. Nerchio held off Strelok after multiple failed push attempts on his natural expansion. At the 15 minute mark, Strelock decides to push the second expansion Nerchio put down with a group of Marauders, which was denied by a fistful of Banelings. Next a Marine drop to the third expansion on the south east corner of the map was stopped abruptly. On the final attempt to flank towards the third expansion and where the majority of Nerchio's units were not, good use of a Xel'Naga Watchtower puts his forces to a halt, resulting in a win for Nerchio.
Scrap Station
Nerchio opens with a later expansion than his previous builds, at 4 minutes. Strelok follows suit at 6 minutes taking his first expansion. Nerchio attempts a Mutalisk harass that does very little damage before being warded off by a group of Marines. Strelok having walled off his main and first expansion leaves Nerchio's army unable to move in on ground. Trading forces for a short while, Nerchio gains map control and leaves Strelok with no other options than to submit.
