Maybe you missed the point in the game where the only operational expos were Baby had 9 and Flash had 3 but Baby's 9 was much more fresh. This was immediately following Flash's drops getting killed by mines and baby forcing 12 to lift. | ||

Flash was actually in danger there momentarily. Mmm. If Baby moved his tanks a bit more towards 12 and stopped Flash from mining there (when Flash was mining with his off-placed CC) the game might have been a lot closer. | ||

BTW I think Nada consistently has an APM over 400 while Flash stays around the 350 area. Additionally, when sAviOr, when he was still good, was beating Nada's 450+ APM with an APM of about 250. I know it is different races in that case, but I don't think APM at this level is something that is too important. Really, it is only good for diagnosing game play that might be too slow. | ||

This was immediately following Flash's drops getting killed by mines and baby forcing 12 to lift. Baby only forced 12 to lift for short moments when you're talking about that point in the game. After than Flash had the right side up and running a lot earlier than Baby's left side. To discuss starving someone out you can't just consider only their current mining ability but their short term potential too. | ||

Unless I'm reading the table wrong, Baby was around 350-450-250 and Flash was around 300-400-200. Isn't one of the values EAPM? Hang on, nope I'm stupid as fuck never mind. | ||

I believe that was a 13cc in-base. On a 4-player map like Eye of the Storm, your opponent isnt likely to go for a very early marine push (hence why people 14cc on it all the time). | ||

Maybe if Baby built more scvs, he'd have less vultures and wouldn't have been able to pull off so much harassment of Flash's bases? Baby played very well considering his opponent. | ||
