From what I saw, Socke literally just did a build order without really scouting at all, and then at the moment he canceled his Nexus, he A-moved and won. You could easily train someone to do that - there was little game knowledge or intuition used; it's just an MC copycat build. | ||

Until he cancelled the nexus, Socke had exactly the same army composition as a standard 3gate expand. The only way to scout this build is to get inside the Protoss player's base and see the additional gateways. Yes, and it's not like Socke had to all-in just because he built those gateways, either, he could let them and the nexus finish, or let the nexus finish and cancel 1-2 gates. | ||

The only way to scout this build is to get inside the Protoss player's base and see the additional gateways. Normal 3 gate expand has about 6-7 sentries in it otherwise it dies to mass speedling. The same very speedling you need to defend 4 gate. | ||

Lately Boxer's macro has improved tremendously though. knowing he will be playing with lag, he will most likely rely more on macro builds and attempt to win through sheer numbers. | ||

The stalker as second unit, that was probably warped in to kill scout overlord, could have been a hint. Not sure there though. Also Idra could play more safe. Later 3rd hatch, build spine crawler in advance. | ||
