Why would you expo when you scout Nexus first and two gas? Huk was asking to be punished for incredibly greedy play
Im sorry are you asking me this question? I didnt say any player should do anything, at all. I am lost. I was responding to some other guy. Misclick?

What. Happened.
|
perhaps huk expected the standard 111 on that map (where it is popular to do so) and also perhaps huk expected keen to not do a similar helion build 2 games in a row
thus, nexus first? (since it owns 111)

Do you think it's the first time he's going nexus first? He probably played over 100 games doing nexus first just to prepare for this match, he planed to do that with what ever he was going to face. It's not like he didn't scout the gaz. It's just a meta game change and it's fine with that.
I find it very hard that, if he has done this build even remotely close to 100 times against a practice partner, that he has never been hard countered to the high heavens.
I mean, on a two player map (or whatever if the map has fixed spawn positions), I just cannot imagine how you hold off what a Terran would do to rush you off a Nexus first. I guess perhaps on long maps, but rush distance on Dual Sight is not that long.

Nexus first is punished hard by these fast hellions. What econ-build would've/might've worked for HuK? Forge FE or did he need 1 gate core? EDIT: I'm going to work a bit. Be back later for MKP Vs BoXer. Don't really know what to expect from that

no, it was not a build order loss

This. Keep it civil, I'm wary too, already detecting signs of annoyance. On that note, Huk really needs to be more careful with his probes. Unless he gets a good angle, those probes were just there to die.

Now that Keen is in code s , its time for him to fulfill his promise next season , BM ftw !

It was Keen scouting that Huk was being insanely greedy and punishing it, pure and simple. Still a build order loss.
Not really. You're implying that anytime one player scouts the other, reacts and then wins its a build order loss. Now if Keen hadn't scouted the nexus and went reactor hellion i'd agree with you.

That was a fairly standard Nexus first build, albeit a somehwat greedier version of it, and keen had timing attacks ready to go for him. Quit making Huk sound so bad.
and of course Keen all ins, if you go for a heavy 1 base strat, and the protoss comes out wtih Nexus first, do you know how you beat it? Attack it. Know how you don't? Late expansion.
Mass hellions has always been very strong against Nexus first, because if you don't figure out that many hellions are coming your not prepared. If you know more then 4 hellions are coming its easy to stop. Keen was just prepared for what Huk had, plain and simple, don't try to dress it up as something it isn't.

I can't believe he did that build on a map like dualsight, especially when he lost to a 1/1/1 by mvp the last time I saw him play dualsight in the gsl vs terran. Plus after the first game I would have just done a super safe 3 gate expo. Oh well still up/downs left, I get nerd chills just when I'm thinking about all the insanely good players in those this season.

Forge FE doesn't work against terran, 1 gate FE might have worked better.

I've never seen nexus first on dual sight anyway. That's just fucking balls to the wall insane. Huk was the one trying to go for a build order win.

Keen for allin'ing twice and Huk for not being more safe :/ Yet another Protoss who has apparently never watched a single game of TvZ. There's nothing all in at all about this opening against a Nexus/Hatchery first. It's standard to open with hellion/marine against Zerg what makes opening against Protoss any different? Neither of those builds were all in. Easily able to be transitioned out of.
It's standard to open hellion and expand. Not so standard to open hellion into banshee marine tank raven. You do not 'transition out' of that build. You can argue game 2 was not all in but game 1 was not standard pressure
