Things he could have done: - scouted the proxy pylon - sniped the obs - scanned the base to see that he hadn't expoed and had robo & twlight Fact is in SC2 that these type of all in builds are ridiculously strong. Terran has the same with tank/marine/banshee/raven all ins etc. It's just the way the game is made. You can't blame competitive players for taking advantage of that. | ||

Just go marauder heavy instead of marine heavy. I know it can be a slight coinflip because if P goes voidrays Terran most likely loses but going marauders is just a lot safer vs P. On the other hand I'm not sure what you're talking about with P expos. 1 gate expo rarely works unless it's a huge map. It's almost always 2gate robo expo or 3gate expo, while a lot of Terrans go 1 rax expo then complain if they get allin'ed. You really think FF is that good? If you 2 rax vs 1gate expo it's almost autowin on most maps in tournament play. | ||

but then P allins don't care about map distance because of warpin... maybe large is inherently broken slightly in P favor i guess the point is that T pressure OR allin is completely ruled out on a large map like this, making T early game super predictable, while nothing changes for P | ||

In fact most of them go for pretty long, particularly when we reach the final stages. And you know what's the most ironic comment about your statement? The fact that Tassadar won using all-in builds 3 times in a row. Having said that, SlayerS are definitely in a slump right now. | ||

So there is down time even with 30 probes which is obviously not what Wolf was talking about and I'm assuming you weren't even making probes, which is generally what's understood by being able to support everything - constant production from all buildings. Even on your technical level with maximum mining (which no one was talking about), you can't support it fully with perfect play. It's not a big deal. | ||

Real skill is shown in these single leagues and all code b's and a's pretty much. You must be painfully unaware of where the BW progaming scene lies. It's in team leagues. How do you define the strength of a team if it isn't working together to beat another team? | ||

The slight difference between who gets their expo up faster is usually negligible because there is only a slight window that you can take advantage of anyways which most people won't cause they'd rather saturate their new expo than commit to an attack so early. | ||

but on the big maps, you don't get that mileage out of 2rax, so it's only good defensively. now it certainly would have been strong defensively that game too, since both the marine and marauder count will be high enough for VR or blink. maybe that's the safe build, and then if P expands before you, just try to draw the game out to 3-4 base to even out the advantage. | ||

At least Ryung gets another chance next season. | ||

To Tassadar's credit even though he seems to play an aggressive/allin style it was still a smart decision in the last game based on what he saw. People argue that allin/cheese is essentially coinflipping for a win but if you have continued success in the GSL you're probably doing something right (I know this last sentence is trollbait). | ||
