All the bunkers are dead. Cloaked wraith comes in and tries to stall the armory construction, A second wraith is coming but the armory is done. Now Up needs detection | ||

I think this works on deeper levels than you, and for that sake, I, can understand. In a map with 2 starting loc's, it's MUCH harder to cheese. The base will be scouted, and the cheese will be discovered immediately.. A lack of rax, no gas, etc.. Knowing this, Upmagic decided to get the ever-so-slight but ever-so-important advantage over his opponent by taking out the hardly necessary scouting SCV, and waiting to scout until later. Knowing that Upmagic may do this, Canata took advantage of the opportunity. Of course, this is just 1 possible explanation. | ||

I mean how much u can gain with one more scv after the 10th one? you command center will start 5 seconds before the opponent's one? Always assume that progamers are better at Starcraft than yourself. There's nothing wrong with questioning an action to try and find the reason and logic behind it so that you can emulate successful play in your own game, but you, like others, seem to jump first to the possibility that there is some conspiracy, before you entertain the idea of it being part of a grand idea that you might not understand. I really mean no offense by this, I'm just saying. Mirror match-ups are delicate and any advantage you can gain is one worth taking. This was a calculated risk that didn't pay off, unfortunately for UM. | ||

Having played a bunch of tvt's myself I can see why upmagic decided to not send an early scout, even though it is a two player map. I remember on bluestorm I would usually send out an early scout to look for cheeses from the other T, just because I knew it was pretty common on bnet. However, I assume upmagic has played enough practice games himself to calculate the odds of the possibly that it will happen. It really has a mental impact when I find out or see my opponent putting up their expansion before me, and I guess upmagic did some analysis and thought it would be wise to play a certain style against canata. However, I think we can now look closer at canata's meditation prior to the game and see if it is something common he does before he does an unorthodox or cheese strategy. Call his bluff. | ||
