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) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
