All free had to do was delay fantasy's 3rd for as long as possible while taking his 4th and 5th. Also cannons to protect probes help. Only SKT tosses (mostly Best) cannon up their bases these days. Guess it's what happens when Fantasy plays like this... Unbelievable vulture control from Fantasy and unbelievable fail from free. | ||

While the attack was pretty terrible, I can somewhat understand why Free tried to do it. I mean he was probecutting, mass gating with no tech whatsoever and then ends up losing all his nat probes leaving his econ even worse off than it already was. So basically every second he let the game go on after that is gonna just favor Fantasy more and more, so something had to be done.. Do suiciding everything into the choke didnt was probably not the best idea. | ||

I mean even after losing some probes free was in a good position to just contain fantasy on 2 bases. But he suicided his army instead wtf -__- Are you serious? Fanta's vult harass did *way* too much damage to make a contain actually work. It wasn't like 5 or 10 probes it was at least 25, and losing that many probes on 3 base kills your econ. If Free tried to "contain", Fantasy would have been retardedly ahead. | ||

Ya, it's a new thing he's been thinking about a lot. You sacrifice probes at a certain timing to free up supply so that you save the money you would've had to build new pylons and shit with. Gives you the opportunity to get a slight army boost for a very specific timing bust (the attack into the nat). Didn't really work out though. | ||

Fantasy if you played like that more often then you wouldn't have been sent to the b-team! And free.........I don't think I can support you anymore, donating all your units like that | ||

It has to be asked though, is this strategy... all-in? lol | ||
