How many times do you think HuK did a nexus first vs Terran just to prepare vs this match? You really think that a build that he practiced sooo much would get hard counter by cloak banshee? Why the hell would he go Nexus first if he knew something so easy as cloak banshee would hard counter it? it obviously doesn't.. you can have a robo and an obs in time. Just think whenever you say stuff about a meta game, these guys play hundred and hundred of games with the same strat. You are an idiot. I said that his build was tailored to DEFEND against cloak banshees and not hellion pushes. He had the right idea, he obviously hadnt seen the react hellion in practice much, because he wasnt ready for it either time. The only thing you can fault me for is that I was vague enough to not add "Keen" at the end of the last sentence. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

you're assuming it was coinflippy and that Keen didn't react to scouting Huk's nexus first | ||

No misclick I was indeed talking to you. Just because you don't see an expo does not mean it's an All-in or some sort of 1 base timing attack. Keen saw what Huk was doing and reacted to it. Simple as that. | ||

Taken from Liquipedia: Build Order Win or Build Order Loss: When a player wins or loses not from skill or strategy but from a build order which hard counters the opponent's build order. Do I really need to explain what keen did in those two games to hard counter Huk's opening? Are you really going to argue this? lolol | ||

Just like in BW, if you see nexus first, pull 3 or 4 scvs and go kill the nexus, it is very standard. Reactored Hellions vs Nexus first is a BO loss. There's no way to ever keep the probes alive because Stalkers need like 7 or 8 shots to kill a Hellion. You're never going to have enough units to kill the Hellions or MM. | ||

The toss can't really adapt his nexus first build into something else, while the terran can change his plan once he sees the FE. Still, going nexus first on dual sight is REALLY risky. I believe even a 1gate FE is a decent enough counter to 1/1/1 while doing a little better against various other 1base pushes like 2rax pressure. | ||
