The bust is stronger vs gate 1st than forge. I think forge 1st is a better open tbh | ||

Toss can also leave a random probe on the map and bring it to the nat/3rd and check the composition after the zealots get pushed back. The bust is stronger vs gate 1st than forge. I think forge 1st is a better open tbh i think its better vs forge because z has a weaker eco if p goes 1 gate zeal harass. theyre more committed to the hydra attack, harder to transition out of it. | ||

But seemed like he assumed it was a proxy robo since he was trying to get his turret perimeter up asap. Should have just scouted really... although by that time dragoons might have been containing him... | ||

What is the strength of going gate opening? zerg has to chase p's zeals with his lings which usually gives p the opportunity to sneak a probe in z's main for a rescout (assuming p's probe left z's main), which he didnt do. | ||

He definitely tried to meta game read Snow's reaver/carrier build although kinda weird to go mnm vs reaver if he thought thats what snow was going for anyways. | ||

Wasn't watching it closely enough to see when he committed to the bio build. My sense on a bio build / deep six though is that it should be ok vs reaver play. It's meant to hit hard and fast before protoss macro starts to kick in at a timing that couldn't have been hit if it were standard mech. Nevertheless, going bio on 3 bases was weird imo because it's almost like you no longer try to hit that timing | ||

Thank you. This is what i thought too, but that leaves me perplexed as to why Snow did not immediately send a second probe when his initial one died and when his zealots was keeping the zerglings busy at the ramp. | ||

Protoss players have been failing to scout a lot over the last few months, not sure why. This was an ongoing thing during the last ASL too. | ||
