D Ranks Individual Tournament Season 6 - Page 33

GGs man.

The deception in game 5 was sick.

G4 as I said to you I don't understand. You were 4 base to my 4 base, I mined out, and you had 10k more resources. Thought I was going to be able to chill with a massive lead, but in one sense I was way behind.

G2...what tipped you off to goon build? You made a significant number of lings and 3 sunkens out in front, which you wouldnt do vs anything else. To my knowledge your overlord didnt see lack of SG or gates going up, and I only came out 3 zeal 1 goon, which also doesn't suggest "O SHIT GOONS". Did you know I was preparing that build, or just take a bit of a defensive gamble?

GG indeed! Thanks for the great series. Makes me love BW all the more. ^_^

Hmmm, my main thought going into G4 was that I needed to not die. I saw that you consistently went for gate heavy play with a late 3rd, so I knew I could outmacro and out-tech once hive-tech hit. I had more resources because I hardcore droned behind the hydra bust fake and took 2 islands along with 6. I was indeed on 7 bases at the end, but because I'm bad, I never saturated them with drones.

G2, I remember hearing how you beat Bakuryu with a goon-timing, so as soon as I saw the goon taking out my overlord, I was suspicious. Especially because you never build goons when you go for any sort of +1 timing. There would be no reason for you to build a goon unless you were going to go with that goon build from the reps I saw of you. That's why I just threw down the sunkens.
