I definitely will not blame someone for trying to win, I'd much rather a player try to win than try to lose. IMMVP doesn't condone the usage of 1-1-1 all-in because he sees it as OP too. Is he an idiot? | ||

Let me lay it out for you since you clearly dont know how the game works. The longer he stalls the bigger the economic advantage he has because puma pulled half his scvs. Hopefully you can understand the math behind it now or you have no hope. | ||

Probably. I saw some pictures from friends who live in North Carolina of wind damage. It's kinda serious. I probably wouldn't have gone if there was a hurricane risk. | ||

Because XNC is the best map for the 1-1-1, and the map was picked by Kiwi. Of course he saw it coming. | ||

I could use it and do extremely well but what's the point? It's like cheating to get infinite items in a game. It's boring. It's stupid. And it's broken. Lol you complain too much, Kiwi needed to stall for time and he didnt do that. | ||

Either don't cancel the nexus, or drop a robo bay after a few pheonix, or get blink, whatever. But yeah, in that situation, it was silly to just mass units and try to attack into siege tanks pity | ||

You really think a terran is going to let you float a warp prism anywhere near his siege tanks? Seriously? | ||

For terran it's affordable, minerals for the cheap and easy marines, gas for the tanks/banshees. and zealots have better DPS? more HP so they can tank more dmg from tanks. Also, stalkers take bonus dmg from tanks. | ||

Kiwi chose a build that's.... strange, but could have worked. He was going for zealot/immortal/phoenix, but then got nervous at the increasing marine count and chose to engage awfully. He needed to adopt a sort of Zerg player mentality when he engaged... - Immortals target tanks - Zealots a-move - Phoenixes flank around back and PICK UP TANKS Seriously, people are qqing about marines but tanks do SO much damage, once the tanks die you can warp in stalkers to kite everything else. Kiwi knows he should've won that. | ||

You need to defeat the push, you can't stall too much because terran will gain an insurmountable economic lead. Also, immortals and phoenixes lose effectiveness as the marine numbers rise and combat shield/stimpack complete, another reason you can't just wait. Alright guys, so which one is it? These two differing views I think reach the crux of the 1/1/1 debate. EDIT: Also, can we PLEASE stop calling each other stupid over this shit? It's a hard problem, discussion yields knowledge. Ad-hominems don't. | ||

But it's absolutely not a free win against 1/1/1, it's decent against it but it's still incredibly hard to beat it. I know it isnt a free win. I also tested the 1/1/1 with all variations (including ones with/without siege and ones with ravens) and I can tell you right now that 1 gate expand definitely has the upper hand. | ||

He also didn't have to engage there when all tanks were already sieged .. at least engage when some tanks are not sieged when he tries to move forward It really felt like he had the time to get that expo up. Maybe not crushing that push but delaying it in the middle could be the answer? | ||
