Why do I so often see toss go 2 gate, then only build 3 goons before expanding. I don't really get the point of it at all, since you have to cut probes or delay goons or range to do it.

I can't see the replay so I'll assume you're talking about 10/15 or some similar build. The reason why you expand after 3 goons is quite simple. The terran MUST assume that you'll keep making dragoons, otherwise he risks getting run over. Scouting is almost impossible for the T since there are 3 goons out very quickly. Since you can resume probes immediately after starting goons #2 and #3, you'll never really be behind economically if you just expand while forcing the terran to play defensively and inch his way out. Of course, you can't do this if you suspect 2 fact.

I have no idea what led you to believe that you delay goons or range with a 10/15, because it's designed to pump out 3 ranged goons as fast as possible. There's no either/or about it, you simply cut probes for earlier goons.

Good game, although protoss became so dumb at the end it's painful.

Good game. Terran had to rebuild his base twice.
Human teleportation, molecular decimation, breakdown and reformation is inherently purging. It makes a man acute.

Wow, great game.

If any Terrans want a good reference for turtling - I'd recommend this replay!

Having 350 minerals with 50 more to come soon, spending it on something and continuing distance mining instead of getting a nexus was fine? Then wasting probes by allowing them to walk right next to a sieged tank? Sorry, but in my opinion, that's kinda dumb.
