aka that shit with the tank and depot at 6 but I thought tempest would have it after he denied top left for so long  but i guess tempest was just sucking way too many resources into just denying a CC and not killing very much army. Though storms at the ramp were nice | ||

get his upgrades up fairly early despite getting arbiter tech relatively early, tempest didn't do anything with them until bogus had (relatively late) vessel tech and plenty of time to set up mines and turrets in his main bogus played well - despite the attacks on his main, he didn't give into temptation to split his army that was positioned to defend 12 | ||

He should have known by the 6th failed recall that it was not effective. actually, taking out all of the supply depos and the factories in the main was effective. had he not gotten mined out just then, he would have had a big advantage while bogus couldn't remake his army. | ||

Kal lost basically everything so he spent all his money on carriers, had at least 20 of them, but ran out of interceptors vs Flash's infinite gols | ||

Fortunately for him, Tempest is still a bonehead macrobot and managed to throw away enough units to hand over the win. What? His play was really strong for the first 3/4 or so of that game. Both his 3rd and 4th bases were up much faster than Tempest's, and he also had some (decent but not incredible) dropship harassment that kept the P in his base losing some econ, while Bogus' economy was relatively unharmed. Then he had some pretty nice defense of his 4th, even though he lost it a few times Tempest was only on 4bases for a very, very long time so it wasn't *that* big of a deal. And he had some really nice harassment with the tank/depot/turret drop at 6, and some great EMPs for a long time, plus good vulture harassment on the P's 4th and 5th bases. Sure he really broke down at the end there when that recall got into his main, as his multitasking was clearly stretched, but he managed to keep it together enough to pull out the win. He didn't really need to push out at any time, because Tempest didn't expand very aggressively--all he really needed to do was sit on (pretty much) equal bases until his upgrades kicked in and he got a critical mass of stuff. Tempest on the other hand was just horribly sloppy. Had he won I think there would have been good cause to call it a lucky victory, but I thought Bogus' win seemed pretty solid there. (At least as I remember the game) | ||

Yeah but that was late-game, if Tempest done that earlier it would have been much more effective. In the end Bogus had the economy to rebuild his factories and Tempest didn't have the economy to replenish his units. | ||
