I would love to watch a replay of that, because it really didn't seem like the Thor was been repaired to me.

I dont feel like ITR is such a better macro player etc... It takes extreme skill to pull of a FE like that, but when its up he has such a ridiculous advantage. Not a free win but unless ensnare does sick damage he will be behind.

Idk about the Thor rush, the hellion harass could have been so effective if he just kept making them early on with the proxy rax.

ITR is fucking solid though. It's like a terran playing zerg, except he's a terran.

Something I realized that's really impressive from ITR is the number of bases he takes. Compared to many of the other SC2 pros who hardly expand in a similar fashion, It was a pretty impressive idea of all those constant expansions.

That was absolutely incredible.

ITR is proving TvT ins SC2 is like ZvZ in BW. FE is 12 hatch, rax first is 9 pool, normal rax is 12 pool.

Ensnare going 2 gas really fast, before starting a factory, and getting a reactor on rax.

It's funny, I think I recall most of the gamers from the State of the Game podcast saying how Ensnare is definitely the better player as well as saying ITR is super gimmicky. I think he's really changing some opinions right now.

I feel like ensnare could've taken it if he had focused the Command Center when he did his Thor push. First he attacked the bunker, then he over committed by moving his Thor too close to ITR's ramp.

I'm still quite confident ensnare can take it to a Game 5. The last 2 games might have looked like very devastating victories, but the game was actually over when it was 11 SCVs for ensnare vs ~28 for ITR after ITR's counter push. If ensnare was in such a commanding lead, he would win in the same fashion ITR did in the last 2 games.

Yeah, he's changing those opinions with his gimmick.

HopeTorture looks to be fast expanding again, and on DQ it's probably a lot safer.
