He thought that his 2 gates are safe vs anything, and he didn't need to attack early so there was no point to scout.. | ||

He cant scout AND go proxy citadel with 10/15, he loses too much eco and it slows down his build too much. Sending a probe out to scout and a 2nd probe to proxy a citadel is just too much eco lost when ur going for a tight build like 10/15 and have to probe cut. If he wanted to scout he would have gone for 1g zeal/goon etc., a standard opener. | ||

It did almost nothing though. Best rushes - died in 7 mins. Sea rushes - win in 3 mins. Best should go for longer games, playing safe at start. | ||

Well to be fair Sea took a huge risk by using the most unexpected build and got rewarded for it. But I disagree that there's no point to scout, if T goes something like 1 rax FE you're just letting him get the nat up for free. | ||

You cant do anything to punish cc first (dont think many ppl go 1rax fe in pvt) unless u go proxy gate, thats why he opened up with it in g1 (i didnt watch g1 but i read that he did, which makes sense). He basically wanted to tell him "hey you better not play greedy and cc first against me if you dont want a b.o loss". | ||

He basically wanted to tell him "hey you better not play greedy and cc first against me if you dont want a b.o loss". 2013-2015 1rax FE was way more common then even FD, but so was Fighting Spirit. For many years 1gate expand without building a zealot was really common too. Only recently have we seen Protoss player build that first zealot. Generally gate->nexus->goon has been the goto as you can save 100 wasted minerals on a useless zealot for a better economy. | ||

You pretty much NEVER see CC first at pro level TvP because 1 zeal completely destroys it, you almost ALWAYS see rax-CC gasless expand. He opened proxy gate (game1) vs it because rax-cc is common on EotS and proxygate punishes it if microed well. Sea however went for standard 11/11 FD so BeSt got fucked. Game 5 he was expecting rax-cc again and 10/15 would have high chance of killing terran there. Not to mention 10/15 is always a very strong build on non-ramped maps, so Sea really just mind gamed him here | ||

Well in any case it was poor build choice by Best who should have just played standard 1 gate expand and get it to late game. And as some people have pointed out earlier he even skipped unit production until he saw the rush coming. | ||

It's not always the better player who wins. That's why we have "upsets", especially in Bo1 and Bo3/Bo5 _increases_ the chance of the better player winning. | ||

Holy shit! What an epic game! Had me hanging at the edge of my seat the whole time! Really thought Protoss would've died to the cheese. So surreal, almost seemed like an action movie, the suspense building up every little second. What a hero dragoon! He deserves a Fenix / Tassadar medal! Who were the players? | ||
