Why did Boxer waste 400 minerals by taking Stork's natural without any defence? Bizarre move from the Emperor. | ||

I don't know what he was thinking when he made the cc at his little contain. That was a strange move, I don't know what he waws trying to accomplish. | ||

I didn't watch the game actually. But overall, in both TvT and TvP he's developing an EXTREMELY macro/defense-oriented style which 1) is totally unlike him and 2) seems to fail almost every time anyway. Plus it's not really entertaining, to say the least. | ||

At least it would fit his style and be more exciting to watch (which I'm certain he does care about). | ||

The thing is to prepare those kind of games you need a hell of a lot of time, to analyze the opponent, look for the time window where the push is more effective, test the different ideas, etc. His practice partners aren't up to par either, so I'm guessing he just doesn't want to lose horribly like clon with an ill prepared strategy, I mean, he still has a lot of fans and seeing him getting raped game after game would be like seeing the legend falling down, again (just my opinion). I'm not defending his change of style, which is definately boring and not producing results, but i think that's why he's done it. | ||

But he's been attempting such "prepared builds" a few times already and it seems it's been working clearly better. That TvT vs Sheis (fast ultra-agressive 2 fact vults/mines), the one vs Nada on Sin Peaks (proxy fac, kill fac addon with sieged tanks from below, then control) as well as the TvPs vs Ra (was a rush though) or Bisu (timing push) were all total successes. Actually preparing a specific build on each single occasion might be too much to ask, but at least play more agressive overall, which he's definitely still capable of. | ||
