In the first game of the 'Google Play ASL Season 21' finals, held on the special stage at 'PlayX4 2026' in KINTEX, Ilsan, on the 24th, Lee Young-ho secured a victory using a 'fast double' opening followed by a mechanic attack.

In Game 1 on 'Jane Doe,' Lee utilized the map's layout to build his Command Center at the natural expansion immediately, opting for an economic start. Park Sang-hyun went for a standard natural expansion followed by a quick gas build, signaling a 2-Hatchery Mutalisk strategy. Lee blocked his ramp, denied scouting, and quickly constructed his Factories.

Lee opted for a mechanic build centered on Goliaths, supported by three Factories and an Armory. After producing a sufficient number of Goliaths, he built a Command Center at his natural expansion to prepare for the late game. Park also took his third base quickly and focused on drone production after his initial Mutalisk tech.

Lee launched a poke with his Goliaths. Although it wasn't an all-in attack—as he had already secured his natural expansion—Park suffered significant losses while trying to prioritize drone production. Park managed to defend, however, and used his Mutalisks to harass Lee while transitioning into Hydralisks.

Lee pushed out with added Siege Tanks at the 1/1 upgrade timing. Park attempted to hold off the Goliaths and Tanks with a Mutalisk-Hydralisk composition, but he could not stop the constant influx of Goliaths, allowing Lee to take the first game.
