White-Ra without a single loss until the finals

The grandpa toss, White-Ra went through the tournament without losing a single match until he met TheLittleOne in the finals.


TheLittleOne, also known as IPS.Radio from StarCraft Brood War, is a random player in StarCraft 2 and was invited to play in the TeamLiquid Invitational and made a really good show of his games. A creative style unlike everyone else made him defeat MorroW, DeMusliM and Nazgul on his way to the finals where he met White-Ra.

A fantastic game against Nazgul was a fact however, and to quote Day[9] during his shoutcast;
one of the best games I have ever seen”

It didn't last very long though, when White-Ra took on TheLittleOne in the first game of the finals on Lost Temple, TheLittleOne proved that he had more surprises. Using a Warp Prism with a colossus in it, harassing like it was a reaver, set the standards for this finals. The first game ended in White-Ra's favor however, and became White-Ra's 7th consecutive win of the tournament.

The second game was however the highlight of the tournament, White-Ra decided to proxy-gate a zerg-playing TheLittleOne on Scrap Station without even scouting him first, without knowing what race he was, and it almost became a success, if it wasn't for TheLittleOne's amazing reaction of creativity.

After White-Ra made TheLittleOne cancel his fast expansion, the German added a second queen and a couple of Spine Crawlers to creep closer to the entrance, and to stop White-Ra from a further cannon push, and also managed to get the first zerglings into White-Ra's main for some harassing. While he harassed White-Ra's main, and defended his own he also teched to banelings, and out of no where, the zerglings from the early harassment had morphed into banelings and exploded on White-Ra's probes. It didn't kill off too many probes, but made them all go down to red.

But it was enough to get an advantage, and the game went into a shockingly all-in push from both players who both killed each other after TheLittleOne got a nydus worm inside White-Ra's main, and White-Ra slowly killed off the zerg main with immortals, stalkers and zealots. TheLittleOne sent his drones and his queen through the nydus worm and killed off the nexus of White-Ra and managed to get a hatchery started on White-Ra's natural with one of his probes, and with a couple of mutalisks, he finally killed White-Ra's immortals, which eventually made the Ukraine player type gg.

That wasn't the end of White-Ra though, the skilled player as he is, he managed to win the next two games fairly easily, but TheLittleOne again proved his creative style. The final score was 3-1 in favor of White-Ra, who only lost one single game of the whole tournament.
