You can try and be a bitch if you like.. I was responding to people calling strife's build an all in vs a nexus first on BS. Isn't it technically still an all-in..? it's not only technically all-in, it is an all in every way which doesn't mean it's something bad. it's what you get when you nexus first on BS (or try to expend any time in the game) I don't think anyone denied that it counters an eco build. However I thought a definition of an all in was that if you fail with your attack you have pretty much lost. Seems like that is usually the case if you cut worker production to rush the guy who is fast expanding. Am I wrong? The defending player can stop the attack but lose enough harvesters to be behind. As soon as the attacker sees that he's killing a lot of harvesters, he has the option to take the econ advantage and move on to the next stage of the game. Well, I get that. But if we are going to use the phrase all in, can't we say that he is betting all he has on doing enough damage that he can either win or at least punish the opponent but if he does fail he has lost the game? It sounds like we are trying to deny the existence of all in strategies completely because we can keep finding arguments like this since we can end up with all kind of crazy scenarios, while the fact is that the attacking player still has to do significant damage to not end up losing the game because of that specific attack he has invested so much in. I'm not sure why ur arguing against ppl who aren't even really disagreeing with you. If u want to get all technical, it was an all-in. But it was in response to an economically greedy build and the all-in was an educated response to punish it. Sure, if it had failed, StrifeCro would be behind but he was obviously pretty confident that it wouldn't fail. | ||

Haha I noticed now that I misread one of the first replies saying "it's not only technically all-in", missing the "only" in that sentence. Damn it! | ||

He made too many marauders. Against mass void ray play you either want to go medivac marines to punish them for not having colossi (medivac marines is incredibly strong vs. gateway units) or a lot of vikings. It seems as though Select wanted a quick win and so stopped making SCVs at some point. This didn't work out for him as Axslav was able to defend his first double pronged attack losing barely any probes. | ||

SCVs simply didn't pop up in the production tab. Thats what I was wondering all the time. Consistently throughout the whole game he was building basically no SCVs. Very strange. And then many marauder against mass voidray. | ||
