Should he have pushed out earlier instead of playing defensively? He had a ton of vultures, but very few tanks when he were ahead. For some reason he didn't get a refinery at 9 for like 5-10 minutes, which cost him both in upgrades and tanks. Can't say he did too well with EMP's and exping either. | ||

Baby was not in a bad spot, they were tied in psy for the majority of the match. If Baby was able to stop more of Movie's recalls with EMP he probably wins. However he only prevented one if Im not mistaken. Movie's arbiters were so effective because he had so many of them, which was due to the fact that none of them died. Baby's inability to deal with these arbiters through very simple ways (such as lots of turrets, goliaths, more science vessels, etc) meant he couldn't hold onto any of his bases and he pretty much died right there. He didn't have any EMPs because he didn't have a lot of science vessels to begin with. | ||

I couldn't tell whether Movie was going to lose for sure, so I wouldn't want to call it an awesome comeback - however I do think there were some fairly bad moments for Movie, like he fail-called into 6, cowardly CC escapes and later comes back to resume mining, while 10 vults massacre all the probes at Movie's 1 oclock base. Ouch. But then Movie did what he could with the 3 oclock still left and made some decent plays and eventually got into a good position with 12, 1,and 3 mining. All in all quite tense before then. BaBy definitely threw away an advantage. | ||

"fast expanding himself" ?? What base is Terran supposed to take after taking the 4 that Baby had, in a game where both players are constantly skirmishing? Maybe Baby could have moved toward 11 earlier though he spent a lot of energy holding 6 until it was mined out. It's really hard to reinforce to 11 for T as well. And Baby did a lot of damage to Movie's "3 fresh mining bases" repeatedly. | ||

1. He built more turrets to counter arbiters. 2. Had better tank placement at 3 and 6 o'clock. 3. Secured another expansion at 10 when Movie's 1 came down. | ||

And Baby did a lot of damage to Movie's "3 fresh mining bases" repeatedly. Baby never set up a solid Arbiter defense at any real base, especially 6. He just let arbiters walk all over him, and as a result he could never fully establish 6. But there was a period in the game where Movie was basically back down onto 3 base, and Baby didn't use that time to take 9 and secure it properly. It ended up being awhile before Baby was confident to take 9 and stopping the 1 arb that sat there the entire time. | ||
