I think Backho going for a high-risk early rush play was a good decision. Fantasy's mid-lategame TvP management is S-class.

Unfortunately Fantasy is also very difficult to cheese =\

Fantasy really won the game when he easily deflected the early goon/reaver attack with no scvs damage. That push is supposed to force T to lift

Fuck rotk, there are like 4 small areas on that entire map where a protoss army can engage a terran army and not be at a huge disadvantage.

Backho played the last part of that game pretty well, not that it mattered. I still think fantasy could have won more quickly by skipping the drop play and timing his push earlier. Great game from Fantasy though, really fun to watch.

... the only way for Aiur is the lame way at the start, with plain opening / standard game P is starting 2 lost MU (PvT and PvZ). Sad truth for Aiur :-(

Anyway, skill difference here was huge so the outcome of this game was clear beside deeper considerations ...

He definitely could have won more quickly, but I don't think fast pushes are his style. He was in 0 risk of losing after the failed attack if he just stuck to his vulture/drop harass + expand strategy.

FailHo's still just a noob though, so w\e.

I have no idea why he won the "most likely upset" poll T_T

backho can upset anyone and anything

i bet he could upset a counterstrike or war3 tournament, he's just that way.

backho could have recalled on top of fantasy's tanks and he still would have lost that game
