sGPL: Eriador vs Socke

[s]sgpl[/s]Last Wednesday the player Eriador[pG] aka Liquid.Drone played against the player Socke[pG] in the sGPL. The game was delayed from Monday until Wednesday because Socke's broodwar CD broke.

There were two great games between them and here is a short summary of them:

Game 1: JRM

The first map of this round was Jim Raynor's Memory. Eriador picked (got ) and Socke picked . Socke goes for some zealots in the beginning because he doesn't know Eriador's race. Some nice micro by Eriador kills Socke's zeals easily. Socke now goes for reavers, but Eriador kills them easily as well. Eriador now drops Socke's cliff with two full dropships and kills his expansion. Socke expands again, but Eriador kills that expansion with another drop. There's a battle in the middle which Eriador wins and he proceeds to push towards Socke's main. At this time Socke has got some carriers, but they get crushed and Socke can't proceed to build more of them (lack of money) and he says gg.

Game 2: Vertigo

Socke picks Vertigo as the second map. Eriador picks this time as well and ends up as . Socke picks and tries to zealotrush Eriador in the beginning, but Eriador handles the rush pretty good. Eriador now expands and goes hydralisks and pushes Socke back to his main ramp. Eriador expands again and proceed to pump lurks/mutas/hyds/lings. He also cliffs Socke's expansion with some lurkers and makes him unable to gather minerals there. Socke is locked into his main and tries to get out a couple of times without success. Finally he suceeds but at that time Eriador is too strong. He casts 2 ensnares with queens and Socke says gg when he sees Eriador's army.
