I think the behind-if-bunker-rush holds true if you bring like 12 SCVs and keep them there the whole time, but here MVP brought only 6 and sent 4 back home before the nex had even died. Kal needs to get range finished before he can put his expansion down, and even after that MVP has 6 mines between their bases and will have siege and tank in time. I really don't believe that he was ahead after that.

You wouldn't? Do you skip the comsat stations in TvZ if you expect mutas because 3 SCVs > scouting? | ||

Anything specific? the lead from 12 nex getting bunker rushed isnt anything huge. probably something like a couple extra probes. plus when obs come out you have huge map control, terran is pretty muchforced to go defensive with siege mode and turrets, which means toss is free to do what he likes without having to worry about any cheesey early game all-ins like 2 fac which they usually have to worry about when taking their expo. | ||

In other words, after-I-do-2-gate-range-nex-robo-obs I have map control. Well nice, but normally P has map control from the start, here he gets it way later. And this means he's ahead? OK | ||

I do think you are underestimating how much money pulling 6 scvs for that long translates to. | ||

I think so too, not to mention the 100 mins spent on the bunker and the three or four extra probes Kal got out of the second nex. I also don't think Kal waited for his range to kick in before dismantling the bunker so he got his second nex down again pretty quickly. Also go Kal, destroy Type B! | ||

Don't think so, since you will be making SCVs the whole time and will get a CC up early, as well as the mine upgrade and a second vulture just in time. You're not trying to build up money in the bank. Definitely don't mind pulling 6 SCVs off minerals in order to force P to do exactly one kind of a build to have any chance, in addition to mining up the front of their natural in any other map, delaying their third base greatly, too. Oh not to mention the fact that you actually are still going to be mining gas, which is the resource that matters for tank count, not minerals. | ||

OK let me put it this way, if i toss go 2 gate robotics observer like you said, and my opponent goes siege expand, the toss is behind. the price i pay for the map control(robotics) is bad economy( because my nex is delayed. after bunker rush i dont have to decide between economy (fast nex) or map control(fast robo), i get both! | ||
