I'm simply saying that certain strategies are more feasible on certain maps. For example, proxy rushes on Chu Pung Rung or Nexus first on KE. They're like that for a reason, usually because that's a more optimal build. I agree with you though, having the element of surprise can sometimes cease a win, but it's still a less optimal build, because a FE is more viable on this map... so you should do it to insure a win, esp. since it's Bo1. As an avid P player, I find it much harder to play against the FE builds followed by vulture harrasses, or drop harrasses from T rather than a standard 2-fact build. It's tough to over power a massive + 2 Terran army and win in a macro-oriented game against T than it is an early-game battle. I mean that's how you win on that map, so that's what you have to do. Also, he didn't really have the element of surprise, so it was easy for White-Ra to defend against it. Edit: and hard for T to reinforce w/ the 2-fact. | ||

I'm simply saying that certain strategies are more feasible on certain maps. im aware of that, thats why i explained why 2 fac is a good build on colloseum. | ||

Nony lost to Super, White Ra beats Super. Then he lost to Eva, White Ra wins against Eva. Nony loses to Strelok, only for White Ra to defeat Strelok afterwards. | ||

Yes 2fact is not the optimal build for this map, thats why most tosses feel that they can expand safely, which makes the 2fact a good build again. You see the mindgames here?  Also in Bo1 risky builds are usually done by the player who doesn't feel superior to the opponent. | ||

Maybe it's like Space Jam and he stole Nony's powers. xD Nah, White-ra has always been pretty badass. =) He sure is destroying today. edit: Speaking of Space Jam, I wonder if I subconciously came up with that because they keep playing "I believe I can fly" rofl | ||
