Hey everyone! I’ve been getting alot of emails asking what the extractor trick is. I personally use the extractor trick whenever I play Zerg, but I dont think it makes that much difference if you do it or dont.  I just like to do it because it keeps my APM (actions per minute) up, and get’s me warmed up for the game.

I don’t want to give anything away but this game is great! It shows really how powerful controlling the center can be.  I can’t imagine how dead both of these players hands were after this game.

I personally watched this game wayyyyyyyyy back but it has always been with me. Maybe it was because of the beautiful storms from firstandlast or possibly because of the gorgeous micro & macro from predy. Either way this 55 min game deserves to be epicstarcraft2strategy.com’s very first epic game of the week. Make sure to check back next monday to see...
