EPTHe was just so much ahead, expanding could've let Mana back into the game.

Even though you kinda pointed it out well that it was sarcastic.. Sarcasm really doesnt seem to translate well over the internet haha | ||

It looks like he didn't know how good MaNa is before playing him. So, he tried to play a normal macro style. I remember MaNa also saying a few month ago that he doesn't practise for the players, he just plays standard in tournaments. ^^ | ||

I doubt there any one base push in any match up that has near the win percentage that the 1-1-1 does in TvP. At least you can pick off the Tanks now with Immortals.

If he does lots of damage, he is ahead and goes and kills him with the 1-1-1. If he does no damage, he is so far behind he can't just expand, he has to 1-1-1. There is (almost) no situation where he would have done anything else. That is a build order that doesn't deviate. And it provides a build order win, or a build order loss. Top flipped a coin, and it give him a win. | ||

The difference bewteen that build and a normal 1-1-1 was the early marine hellion attack that killed a ton of workers and crippled mana's econ so he couldnt produce enough to deal with the push. its up for debate which is the best build to do vs the 1-1-1 in my opinion its phoenix + immortal one base but everyone says different things. | ||

Mana lost 25 probes to banshees and helions. That's probably why he lost the game. Probably. Idiot. | ||

Not exactly the kind of trade you're hoping for doing this as a terran I'd say. 14 probes man, protoss doesnt have mules so killing workers early is very effective | ||
