close proxy game

Here’s a short and surprising game from SCHNAIL, Steamhammer vs leftchange (T) on Heartbreak Ridge. Terran played an unusual and sneaky proxy. Steamhammer scouted it thanks to the anti-proxy overlord, and its first reaction was almost good; it did things right except for misplacing the sunken because sunken placement is optimized for stupid bot opponents. Steamhammer countered the empty enemy main, and soon neither player was able to mine. But there was a clear winner!

Today’s ASL 12 matches had another surprising and close proxy game with much better play, Soma vs JyJ on Polypoid. It starts at about 34:00 in this round of 16 group A vod with commentary by Nyoken and Scan. (I watched it “excluding restricted content” and didn’t miss anything that I noticed.)
