Lee Young-ho dominated Park Sang-hyun in the second set of the 'Google Play ASL Season 21' finals, held on the special stage at '2026 PlayX4' in KINTEX, Ilsan, on the 24th.

In the second set on Octagon, Lee attempted a 'fast double' build—a psychological tactic even on a standard four-player map. Although Park discovered it early with a drone scout, Lee had already secured a strong start by taking his natural expansion first.

Lee quickly built an Engineering Bay to prepare for a Bionic Terran build. By expanding to five Barracks, he signaled his clear intent to seize control of the game. As the Zerg player was in a difficult position, Park’s Mutalisk control became critical.

Lee moved toward Park’s natural expansion just as the Mutalisks began their attack. Although his initial push at the +1 attack timing was repelled, he managed to take down several Mutalisks. Despite Park’s excellent Mutalisk control, he was kept on the defensive by Lee’s overwhelming reinforcement timing and relentless production, making it impossible for him to even consider taking additional expansions.

Park managed to hold the line and eventually secured a late expansion, preparing for Hive tech. Though he was under so much pressure that he had no resources to spare for upgrades, he somehow managed to prepare for Defiler production.

However, Lee’s pressure was too intense; his attack, supported by Tanks and Vessels, broke through just before Park could utilize Dark Swarm, securing Lee the victory in the second set.
