plexa maybe you could help me understand this.

of the 3 middle mineral only bright green ledge bases, why the hell would iris opt to take the leftmost one as a position ? i don't see what that could give him, besides a straight push to kal's main, that wasn't gona happen. I would think, if anything, taking that topmost mineral only would help him secure 12 and 12nat, to catchup in bases once he was behind.

Iris's macro is beastly, but I wonder why he didn't use dropships to sneak a few vultures into Kal's expo (or main), instead of hitting the pylon wall again and again.

I wish I knew what was with Kal today. He was just totally off, like he was having a bad day. He really looked like he wasn't confident either. No matter the reason, we can all agree that was a really sloppy game.

Btw how's the stream today? Wondering which only I'll tune into or if I'll be using YY as it has worked the "best" for me lately.

Traditionally Terran always expand towards protoss, it's like an unwritten rule. This is significantly more predominant on 3 player maps as you never get cross position. Expanding towards Kal gives his base protection, puts pressure on Kal, and gives strength to his push (moar scvs!~). On top of that, expanding away gives the protoss a place to hit when you're still pushing i.e it becomes a liability rather than an advantage (at least against good players). HOWEVER... when you're so far behind and a push will likely fail it doesn't really matter where you expand, you're fucked anyway.

for me YY works without buffering. Zatic has annoying buffers and daum lags as usually.
