Stimmed marines have one of the highest DPS and they simply chew through shields like it was nothing, as long as you macro and position your army well it can be pretty damn difficult for the protoss to stop. Perhaps he is going for an SC2-style marine+tank build. It may be a comparatively awkward unit composition in BW, though it seems slightly viable on paper. | ||

A goon army was attacking the tanks from the front, and he dropped 2 reavers in order to disrupt the tanks' formation, and I thought they would kill Flash but then they only killed 2 tanks and... died.Sure, but if he zealot bombs instead of reaverbombs, he could have used the reavers for something else instead. Now he just donated them in a rather silly manner  | ||

It's really not something new. It's not seen too often because it's considered an all-in, as your investment in bio is useless once storm comes out and you've foregone upgrades and decided to stay on 2base. It feels "less" all-in to the point where maybe it's just a strong timing attack that sets you behind if you don't do enough dmg, but not at the point where you're all-in? | ||

On big maps where terran is always going to do this fast expo thing, I don't know how you can realistically expect to win without 14 nexus. As soon as flash is aware you go for a fast third, it's steam roll time with that BO. Having to try to power off 2 bases against Flash and concede the fact he will have an eco adv. With those options... not 14 nexus'ing is absurd. grapde delayed his 2nd due to 3 goon and 1 zealot. He shoulve get expo asap he saw flash when 1rax expo | ||

He bunker rushed WHILE 1 Rax FEing. | ||

Well, certain players are beneath your level no matter what they do. Put someone a little closer to Flash's level (not that many are that close...) and I'm sure 14 nexus is the last thing he wants to see, even if he isn't "scared." | ||
