It's two diffferent concepts that aren't mutually exclusive === Observer is doing a good job today so far =) | ||

When you expand you're actually in a deficit. I thought Day9 said that you should expand when you attack, so that when you fall back, you have an expand that is ready to kick in. | ||

Yeah this is what both of them said, and they are right. IMO Ace didn't deserve to be knocked out so early, I think he's pretty good, at least top16 Code A material. | ||

Yeah, pretty sure Day9 is talking about attacking as a way to agressively defend your new expansion, which is smart. Artosis is talking about going all-in before your new expansion has even begun to pay back the investment, which is stupid. | ||

To the actual match: TOP hit a very good timing there, not mucht Ace could do about it. | ||

The game will never be perfectly balanced.. but you pretty much said wow T>P .. which is bullshit. If the game goes on that long and P techs properly, it is gg for Terran. He got Collossus late and then got stuck on them even after seeing mass viking.. If Ace won the song would be different.. | ||
