we're not saying he was ahead... if you read the article, we say that he made a good comeback with killing a ton of SCVs with his lings made early... thats why we said hes EVEN, not AHEAD...

Damn, great post. Hopefully there'll be more and more people tuning in once they figure out that this is the best thing to happen to them in years. Those game reports are really spot-on, great to see that. Thank you!
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

after killing 6 scvs. He was out of the game, and that move put him back in the running for a chance to win. Also, why is it called a textbook defense then?

is just a low lvl understanding,doesnt matter anyway,i was pretty sure hero was so dead but somehow he made magic blocking the marine.hero wasnt suposed to hold this,he did and it was awesome but he was behind.when hero was in even position like in Circuit Breakers the story was totally different.

I appreciate the feedback! I'm still pretty new to BW, so it looked like a better situation than it actually was to me. I guess I'm used to SC2 Zerg, where if you defend against a bunker rush and keep your hatch, you're miles ahead because you can just pump out 20+ drones in less than 2 minutes.

Either way, it was a pretty miraculous hold, imo.

Agreed, the fact that he survived and even fought back showed his incredible strength. Also really enjoying your addition to our writing team

i think he had many opportunities to come back in this game. he needed to pull the trigger but he played too scared.

I dont understand why hero was behind after the defense of the bunker rush, because he had like 8 drones against 17 SCVs, (around 2:07:15 on the Afreeca video you can count them) yes, but he had:
8 lings against 2 marines and a floating rax
A gas against none
2 bases against one and the CC not even had started
Map control so could drone up fast from the two hatcheries and catch up on the worker count, which he did.

So imho (of a low d player) Army + map control + gas + two bases > temporarily greater worker count. What did i miss here, if i missed something?
