Different map. Easier to hold due to the choke. Doesn't have a bigger ramp and a way to go around easily.


What I meant was that I find it funny how everyone thinks that you are "supposed" to die when playing economical. Yes, nexus first is stupid, but.....why is everybody so happy with that? That was my point. Not that I think it works.

I dont understand why protoss keep going greedy nexus first!

its so easy to counter for the terren

it helps against the 1 1 1 built

Yup, 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.

socke just beat select's 1-1-1 with quick collosus play
its quite entertaining


Yeah, after Select missed his timing by like 2 minutes. It should be impossible for a Protoss to have more than 1 Colossus when the 1/1/1 hits. Socke had two and range almost done.

nah terran can go quick CC and be perfectly fine but when us protoss players who quick nexus we are greedy and deserve to be all in'd : )

good logic in this thread


ok no, by far no. 1 gate or 3 gate fe's are really really hard to punish by T. Nexus first...which has been used so often in this tourney, is ridiculously greedy and deserves to be allind.

I'm just saying that a lot of people in this thread is whining about supposed race imbalances, instead of realizing that an expo first on certain maps are insanely more greedy/risky compared to other maps.

This map and the last are entirely two different situations.

Don't take my response as directed at you personally.
