How?

Genius could have left 2 Stalkers at the Cannon and just blink micro kill Testers buildings?

Genius could have won that game quite easily from that stalemate with micro, if he loses the next game he should be so bitter.
He could've, but he didn't want to. He was just sitting next to his cannon with all of his units. He had no interest in playing.

Tester is the most frustrating player in the world, if he took an Idra-like approach to playing he could be very successful (because is mechanically as good as anyone), instead he has the most stupid aggressive decision making processes.

I mean who builds a Dark Shrine when they see a 4-gate Blink Stalker push with superior numbers coming?


If he delayed genius a little bit he would have won. If he doesnt, he base trades and ties. Which is what happened.

Seemed like Genius could have won that by hit and moving on the buildings without taking hits from the DT. Would have taken a while but it's not too hard to avoid taking damage from a single DT when you have blink stalkers.

He does if he doesn't know how many DTs there are on the map.

Well, could it have been possible to wait until Genius moves some of his stalkers up, and bumrush the cannon with his 2 DTs? Cause if the cannon dies, as long as one DT is alive, he wins.

Tester could also have put both DTS on his ramp and prevent blinking

No, he barely killed the cannon before the second came up. Pylons have more life.

He probably knew he didn't have enough time to kill that pylon. The only option was to try and kill the first cannon and hope he had enough time to kill the other one before it warped in.

It's scary though, Genius doesnt know how many DTs are out. If Tester has 3 or more, Genius is risking a loss. But yeah he might have been able to poke a little more.

I will clarify since nobody gets this.

NexGenius has no idea of how many DTs were on the map.

Tester could put DTs on Hold Position at the bottom of his ramp, and Genius would not be able to blink into the main because he had NO SIGHT.

More importantly: Tester's DT had 30 kills. Zeratul?
SOOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOoo Many BANELINGS!!

maybe NEX didnt know how many DT's tester had. perhaps he though there were 3 maybe 4? and if he didnt keep alot of stalkers /w the cannon they could have just ramobo'd and killed it

Can't blink to high ground if you don't have vision. If Tester put a DTs on map, DTs won't let in.

Yeah i suppose the issue of not knowing how many DTs were in play is probably the defining factor. I think if the roles were reversed you would have seen Tester have a crack at it, as he is a more risk-based player.
