terran has MULES, but it seems like ppl forget about that. I mean last game thor EXPANDED after that contain, by no means was he all in.
I think people tend to attribute the fact you can get mass marines, tanks with siege, AND banshees to the Protoss doorstep at 10 minutes and still expand behind it to not be a 'not allin' factor and more of a 'goddamn whore mules' factor.
There's a lot of tech investment in that push, you need to do substantial damage or you end up quite a bit behind. If Nani got a better engagement and ended up with more colos alive+nexus, the counterattack would be devastating.
