The highlights of this week are a Mothership getting Vortex'd in a ZvP, a Frenchman catching up a 50 supply deficit and an all-Sentry hold. All that culminates in one of the best RotW's in a while.
1. HasuObs vs sLivko
One of the best replays we've ever had. We see Neural Parasited Motherships all the time, as it is the most effective counter. "Not good enough," said sLivko, "I want my own Mothership!" And so he did.
2. Nerchio vs HyuN
Ever since Blizzard made all the iconic units of BroodWar kind of superfluent in StarCraft 2, seeing them is a huge relief. Just like the recent return of the Carrier in late Protoss games, the large number of Hydralisks in this ZvZ is a huge delight.
3. Naama vs Daisy
I don't know how Daisy celebrates his victories, but after this one I hope he kissed a nurse in the streets of post-war New York and planted a flag on the moon, because that would an appropriately epic response.
4. Nerchio vs Adelscott
Following the advice of the great Protoss Zen master White-Ra, Adelscott made expo and then defense it. Even though Nerchio saw it coming and attacked accordingly, Adel's hero Sentries were swift like butterflies and then stung like bees. Nerchio probably wished he had bit his tongue in the beginning.
5. Bly vs Naama
Of course the obligatory epic, yet standard macro match makes its way into this week's RotW too. Battles everywhere and all the time, and most importantly: the infamous Ultralisk Drop Harrass!
These replays and many other can be found in our Replay Section. I like to go there because it's way tidier than my bedroom.
