+ Show Spoiler + Think the torrent is in the top of the tracker. He saw Bifrost fastexpand so he went goons from 2 gates and contained him then double expanded taking his natural and the double gas expantion furthest from the terran. When bifrost pushed out at the right time ra managed to delay the push so that he had 2-3 carriers by the time it got to his main. By then he had 4 gas and the terran 2 and he easily won from there  | ||

He'd go 3fact vults if he saw one gate no matter what else you'd get. (well, i suppose except for cannons  ) | ||

I think its more common getting an early third expantion than getting 2 at the same time to counter terrans fast exp :S Also longinus is special since its one of the only maps where you can doubleexpand and get 4 gas. | ||

the formula was that a p needs one more nex than the t. so back then it was always double (or like you said dripple) nex if you saw a t going for fe. | ||

Btw i think it would be pretty greedy to take that expansion that quick. i would rather play safer and get the gates up to defend against a timing push, because, protoss just needs 1 base more than terran (in my experience) to beat him, so why dont you make 8-10 goons to avoid vulture harrass and take the next nexus? after all, you're not needed those minerals right away... | ||
