horang2 outmacroed reality STOP SAYING THIS GUYS! Horang2 was slow to rebuild, had tons of unspent resources for most of the game... Ugh. despite that, he was able to aways keep troop count way above reality So, analyse the reasons for that, instead of trying to claim it comes down to a lack of "macro". Don't think anybody is saying Reality is bad at macro. I missed the very start, but from what I saw Horang2 had good macro. Which is not unusual. Horang2's macro is not his weakness. Macro isn't just resource management. Expansion timing, worker saturation, these things also... Reality lost because he took a very early 3rd, well tried to, and Horang2 called it and attacked with 8 goons at a very nice timing. Reality was on the back foot ever since that moment, and it showed in the food counter all game. Or, you know, he was "outmacroed", whatever.
So then you're going to throw a fit at people using terms like outmacroed unless neither player attacks until one of them maxes?
I'm not trying to say that macro was the only reason why Horang2 won, or even that Horang2 managed his resources particularly well. That recall had a definite impact and Reality could not afford to let his push get slowed down after he took out Horang2's main army. Probably he should have planted mines and risked attacking Horang2's other bases in order to try to even out the economies.
But the reality is that at the end of the game, Horang2 was simply throwing units at Reality inefficiently. He won on unit production.
There are always a lot of subtleties that go into who wins and who loses. You can always point to reasons why one player's macro is stronger in a particular game. That doesn't change the fact that it IS stronger.
