I have to like these double-gas steals and manner pylons. It's sad, but probes are the most interesting and dynamic units in PvP

Also, the gas steal seems to lead to Corsairs, and sairs > tripods

With late gas, you are weak to 3 or 4gate pressure, so you get robo often and expand (excess minerals). The easiest counter to a robo build is phoenix play. It's a very cool build, we saw hero[join] use it earlier in the week as well.

I really like Stats's gas-steal strategy. I think gas stealing is pretty unexplored and could make for some awesome strategies.

he didnt have any sentries though. the same outcome would have transpired. phoenix get vision of the high ground, stats' army walks up the ramp and lifts up the units, etc. harder to kite but i think he could have done it.

I am mildly offended by how long those Phoenix were idling next to overlords and not attacking them. Shuttle's Phoenix control is faltering, but I guess he's doing a lot of damage nonetheless.

Spines going down. Looks like we got ourselves a vortex game.

edit: wow talk about speaking too soon.
