The problem is, when the game feels so even, it can be scary to transition as the one moment of weakness can cost u the game. Becuz Demuslim was being so aggressive, KR couldn't transition.

All 3 games, TLO opened with a strange 3-Rax + factory build mixing up Marines/Marauders/(non-BF)Hellions - I can't say I've ever seen this before, I'm going to guess it's a TLO special After some initial pressure, he expands to his natural building his CC there, and then techs straight for Ghosts.

The first game, Shattered Temple, Trickster went 1-base blink stalker, blinked up into TLO's main as TLO was moving across the map, and wrecked several of the production facilities - TLO kept going with his main army, barely managed to hold off the blink stalkers at the cost of production facilities / SCV's, and did some serious damage to Trickster's main himself, taking out a ton of probes and a few pylons/gates. TLO was then able to get a contain out in front of Trickster's base w/bio+hellions, and just ground Trickster down. Trickster did some great DT harass at the last minute, but it didn't do anywhere near enough damage.

Second game, Tal'darim Altar, Trickster went for more conservative play - I was watching TLO's screen so didn't catch the exact timing, but he basically went Gateway/Colossi army with a fairly early expansion. The weird thing was TLO took forever to get Vikings out - he kept engaging a 2+ Colossi army with pure bio + ghosts. There was one moment where he was able to split the army, then keep it split with a nuke to zone out the main bulk of Trickster's army, while taking out a small portion, and there was another great moment where Trickster was pulling back his wounded colossi, and out of nowhere this hero marauder comes stimming up and takes out the colossi. Sadly, TLO just kept getting his army wrecked in the middle of the map with colossi, only getting two vikings out by the time Trickster was pushing him into his base, and blink stalkers finished those off.

Third game, Metalopolis, Trickster went for the same conservative style of play, getting a second base up fairly fast. TLO went for the same 1-base pressure into expand build. He then did some awesome TLO trickery to get up the ramp and devastate Trickster Moving up with a good sized bio ball + ~3 hellions + ghost before colossi had popped out, he sent a medivac into the main empty that distracted Trickster, and pulled his army back up half the ramp - a great EMP landed on almost (if not all) the sentries as they were bunched on the ramp. After TLO drew Trickster back out down the ramp, he then started a nuke on the ramp - as soon as Trickster pulled back up into his natural, TLO just rushed up the ramp and barely cancelled the nuke at the last second. Trickster managed to really shoot himself in the foot as well - he tried to catch TLO with a FF, but missed the army completely, and ended up FFing himself out of his own main for a good ~15-20 seconds. Trickster was finally able to clean up the attack, but all he had was about 5 probes in the main, 3 gates (no core), and a robo bay (with no robo facility) - his expansion was fully up and running though, and was his only saving grace that let him stay in the game for another few minutes trying everything he could against TLO's 2 bases and constant production.

And then we cheered :D

Exactly, Tal'Darim is a bio map.

Dear god the idiocy. If someone went tank play, then his opponent would have gone marauder, and stimmed marauders hammer tanks on big open maps like that.
