To be the strongest at early aggression required a thorough understanding of all kind of opening formations. Meanwhile, Wang Tong was the best at turtle-ing inside his formidable defense, and hence the nickname, the "King of Cheapness."
Judging by the two contestants’ ability, this match ought to be an interesting one. It would be like the test between the sharpest knife and the sturdiest shield.
The first match's map was called "Crusade."
The two acted as if they had followed a script: GoRush started with his classical aggression formation while Wang Tong started with his signature turtle formation.
Both players were successful in scouting out their opponent's position on the map. GoRush quickly sent waves after waves of units at his opponent.
