A round up of all the Starcraft II action from the second day of battle

Series IV - Soulkey Z vs Crank P

Game  I

Crank of the newly formed team Axiom has his first showing in the MvP on the map Cloud Kingdom against the days previous competitor, Soulkey.

Soulkey gains an early advantage by getting a few lings into the base of Crank and is able to scout Crank’s stargate.

With a pre-warned Soulkey, the stargate is unable to deal any significant damage but Crank takes a eight minute third base.

With the early third base, Crank is safe from Soulkey who moves into hydra tech but stops production to move straight into a further expansion of his own and into lair tech.

Crank powers out all tech buildings as he takes his fourth base, but with some great multitasking from Soulkey he manages to constantly deny the fourth base of Crank.

While Soulkey is running some roaches into Crank’s main, a warp prism warps in a round of zealots into Soulkey’s main and takes down the greater spire slowing down brood lords and giving Crank a massive window of opportunity.

Soulkey buys himself some time with multiple counter attacks all around Crank’s bases.

As Crank is waiting on his Mothership he is still making sure he is active across the map, with high templar storm drops killing multiple drones.

Crank's mothership is finally out, but his window has been closed to him as Soulkey has been able to secure a substantial army. He grabs the neural on the mothership to end the game with a perfect vortex and infested terrans that wipe out the entire army for Crank. With the brood lord army pushing across the map it's GG.

Game II

After a display of the best of the best play for both races from our competitors in the previous game, they now meet on metropolis to see who will take the game's final map.

Crank crono boosts his warp gate research along with +1 ground weapons to take a very aggressive four gate timing. Crank only takes one gas and is able to take a super fast third base.

The zealot attack isn’t effective, but Crank is able to establish his third base and a suitable defence to stop the zergling/roach counter attack.

With no way to pressure the third base Soulkey takes a very fast spire and throws fifteen mutalisks at Crank that are also closed down well by blink stalkers.

The mutalisks then try to find areas to exploit by killing a few probes and pylons but for no significant damage.

With Crank closing down Soulkey’s heavily invested mutalisk play, he decides to counter attack at eighteen minutes and there is nothing Soulkey can do. GG.
