EPTYup, since 1/1/1 is so fucking strong, you need a total overkill economy to be able to hold it, going anything later than 1gate FE is pretty much insta-loss. If you can get away with a 15 nexus, that's the best chance you will ever get I'd say.

Honestly, as Rottie said, just -try- scouting with a probe - in this game he could've actually seen there is no expo and instead of going twilight forge, just go all out on the gateway production. He probably thought that Kas expanded behind his early probe kills. | ||

Just a bad game in general. Uncharacteristic scouting failure by Socke, and a bad decision to do that build by Kas. | ||

Kas's response was typical to what happened. That said, lol at the mod's note "-LoL vs the world arguments;" Haha. | ||

And we've seen Killer die to a bunch of 3-4 barracks all-ins when he went nexus first as well. | ||
