Nani went with his trademark 3-gate gas steal into robo, and cruncher blindly goes stargate.

Usually Nani gets only observers from Robotics and switches to blink, but unfortunately today he went robo bay and imortal before his observer could scout.

Nani in trouble.

Blindly? It showed that Nani wanted to win the war of tech. The typical tech in PvP is robo and stargate does well against robo.

It's reasonable, Cruncher is playing well, but it's a blind counter.

Cruncher really likes taking that 3rd base in PvP.

yeah, it has nothing to do with USING YOUR BRAIN TO THINK

or making a lucky guess?


so what? lol

good players make educated guesses based on what they think will happen. it's called starsense. it's intuition based on what you know about the game and your opponent.

He built the stargate after scouting Naniwa's double gateway wall-off, which as far as I know Naniwa always goes into Colossi from. That's not blind countering.

This isnt a blind build order win. Cruncher actually read NaNi well here, its not too hard to guess what NaNi is gonna do after what he saw.


This. Naniwa was too predictable here. Cruncher developed a build that was safe against the fast colossi OR fast DT build (notice the forge + cannon). The build that would kill his build is a 4 gate, fast blink, or a robo DT but these can be read (except for possibly the fast blink build). It's a safe counter.

Cruncher has a big brain, clearly.

Edit: Also, this wasn't a "BO win." Cruncher read Naniwa's wall-off -> robo build order to a T and perfectly countered it.


Except for that it could've been DTs.

Cruncher going for fast air to harass then taking the backdoor third on Shakuras and making double robo collosus. This seems somewhat familiar...

It's pretty understandable given the current metagame. 4-gate and 3-gate robo are the most common builds, both of which can be pretty easily punished by phoenixes. It's completely understandable for CrunCher.
Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth!
