That boar stealing in 2nd game by Noto is masterful. Vietnam couldn't catch a break in all games, perfectly executed strategy by team China, poor RollsRoyce couldn't handle the pressure in the 1st and 3rd game. I think that for golden crater Vietnam deliberately took scout fights to prevent stealing. Definitely a series worth watching, top level play in Silver League, surprising nobody was streaming such an entertaining show.

I'd say Arabia game was decided by BadBoy(pocket of VNS B) not deleting 1 farm and making palisades to TC. His opponent wouldn't be able to get inside that easily and the better economy of the Vietnamese player would have kicked in in a few minutes. The booming advantage he could have had over the other pocket might have changed the game. An enemy Persians pocket ahead is always a nightmare, especially in 3v3.
Also, I was quite disappointed by Vietnamese performance at game 2. They didn't seem to be prepared enough for their home map. Some big mistakes in terms of strategy made them lose. China EMA had no difficulty to win the second game, they completely dominated it.
Game 3 was a solid win by the Chinese team as well. They are not only very strong and agressive players, but a big forward machine, which is a very good adaptation of the 1v1 Chinese style. There are rumours SY team is going to pass through a reformulation. If that is true, they should look carefully at their EMA compratriots. The gold to be mined is in the Silver League.
