Very interesting analysis and a good read, thank you!~ I think Skull Desert in particular will produce some really interesting games this season

Truly super analysis, absolutely love this kind of content. Thanks for the great writing, hope to see more like this in the future if possible.
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.

Can someone explain what the point of the eggs on the edge of the front natural expansions on Crossing Fields is?
Don’t know how to feel alive—been that way for a while—so I don’t know the pain of living.

Doesn’t terran generally want to expand away from protoss? Also the center bases are wide open, so they’re vulnerable to protoss attacks and the mineral bases only have six mineral patches. I think the center bases with gas can only be secured much later in the game so protoss has the economic initiative for much of the game.

Edit: the center bases are easier for terran to hold though compared to protoss because tanks are good at map control.

Edit 2: i think beyond the mineral only and the nearby gas base terran has a hard time of making it any further in base count but four bases is a robust count .

no protoss wants to expand away from terran.... terran wants to expand towards protoss to make the pushing distance smaller / apply pressure...

its a complete joke 6 expands in center all u have to do is controll center protosss cant even get outside of the natural anymore

I wouldn't feel like the matchup is too one sided. From ASL games I think there was a healthy mix of wins/losses. There are also lots of advantages/disadvantages for both races. Also getting anywhere above 4 bases is gonna be rare. At that point Protoss may have made some good moves.

asl thats a sample size of what ?? 10 games?? tvp less ??

look just admit you misjudged the map its okay..

(just to clearify any korean pro can tell you this any terran user will say the same thing its terran heaven tvp.)

`any race getting above 4 bases is rare '' etc if you want my opinion i feel like you are theorycrafting its not how the map plays out on stream..the mechanics of the map play out way different than you describe and thats totally fine since its hard to predict how it will be played out exactly before the map is used often.

or tune into flash stream or any pro terran streamer slaying other streamer tosses on goldrush with win ration above 85% on goldrush.

see how much opportunities Terran has on the map to comeback or expo to the only expos that are relatively safe to take for protoss are main natural and upcliff / semi island expos
