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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
