a third nexus costs 400 minerals. parting went for MASSSS gateway units, no forge, no tech, no upgrades. just zealot/stalker/sentry. basically a 2base all-in with zero tech but spending 400minerals on a third nexus

jakji got 2bases then made factory (150/100) starport (150/100) 2 engi bay (250) +1/+1 (200/200) and he made 1 medivac (100/100) which was out by then

essentially, by the time partings attack hit, jakji had spent 750/400 on a single medivac. while parting spent 400 on a third nexus (which allowed him to spread out his probes for more efficient mining) with like 8gates for a massive attach with zero tech

id say to counter this crap, there are probably several options from the terran. i say wait a bit and sooner or later terrans will figure out the proper way to play against these gateway pressure possibilities

Upon scouting the third it will be around three minutes until a banshee is complete with cloak finished.

It's about that time that Parting was at Jjakji's base with half a bajillion forcefields. You HAVE to do the banshee blindly BEFORE the third starts to actually be able to counter it.

daybreak and metropolis are too long distances to punish something like this

you cant give the 15cc argument because 1rax expo gives a weaker followup than 15cc. thats why people go 15cc rofl, because the econ kicks in more quickly. then you get you extra raxes and geysers more quickly. you dont understand basic rts or tvp build.

toss scouts 15cc, grabs 2 nexuses, then goes onwards to not barely be able to defend, nope, he goes on to almost go kill protoss that was constantly building units on 2bases

you guys should realize me being in this game 12 hours a day for over a year knowing and talking to almost all pros plus practicing these gsl maps regularly, dont you think i should know the timings and find the flaws better than you?
its silly some tosses just come at me here just because they are defending their race

if you want feedback and pros opinions, the good and bad comes in a pack. im not gonna sit here and obliviously say "great timing on that 2base protoss" every time we watch gsl. please realize they can play macro oriented, they dont have to play like this. but they almost play like this exclusively because its more easy and they are more successful with it.
