ObsidianTactic took the title 3-2 on the back of a delayed expansion nobody expected. A round-by-round breakdown.
ObsidianTactic's grand final win came from a deliberate economic gamble: delaying the second expansion by nearly ninety seconds to fund an early pressure package that forced GhostProtocol into defensive production.
Game four is the clearest example. The pressure did not kill, but it cost GhostProtocol two rounds of upgrades, and the tempo never returned.
