Maybe because we see it differently? It happens to me quite often. Does that make me bm?

Yeah right. Expanding when you're winning is BM. :/

no, expand when you've won already, and to a spot that had a destroyed base

the message is "I can build in your base and you can't do anything," that's a gesture

I dunno why i need to explain something so simple

I hate Best, and I'm not much of an SKT1 fan, but it's not BM to expand when you're winning. You shouldn't lower your play just because you're winning, you shouldn't stop giving the game your all just because you're winning. He opened the expo and took it, to secure that section of the map as his.

If you expand at someone's nat it is BM. If you expand anywhere else, it isn't.

If I can add my 2cents I would say it was bm as well. Best added a pylon even before he took down that base and then immidiately takes the spot with nexus even though he is on 8 bases and is just raping Really's 3 o'clock. Well. he surely knew he won the game by that point.

Anyway, there is no reason to argue that passionately about that. ANyone can have different opinion.

I have to say it's BM to at least some extent.

Yes, expanding when you're ahead is 2nd nature to all progamers. But when you have half the map and your opponent is working on just a couple of bases, it's pretty obvious that you DON'T need to expand anymore. This isn't a case of a mid-game push where you expand at the same time, only to realize that your push was stronger than expected and gets a GG. Best KNOWS he has the game won.

That said, I don't really have a problem with it. If the losing player doesn't like that stuff, then he shouldn't get his ass kicked in the first place.

It's not "his base". It's a damn mineral spot.

There are many things that are useless to do when you're that ahead. It doesn't mean doing them is BM.

if you watched the game, it's on his side so both bottom right bases were taken by really through out the game and right before the gg

I'm done, moot point

Exactly! You don't hear people crying BM when someone recalls into someone's base for the killing blow when they could have just as easily attack-moved into the base, or throwing up dark swarms when they're clearly not needed.
