MMA scouted the proxied robotics facility with a SCV. The observer showed MMA's vision of the robo for a brief second just as the casters were discussing how he could've known.

Why didn't he kill it later in the game then? I thought that split second shot showed that he hadn't scouted it.

I love how i can tell whats going in in bw even through only minimaps and small glimpses of armies and mistaking spider mines for armies and koreans yelling

i love bw T_T

It's funny how much Wolfs comment on Colossus-almost-Reaver tilted me. In the break between the earlier games and now I played brood war and after playing, that has to be the most laughable comparison I could have possibly heard today.

could you elaborate on their differences? not trying to tilt you harder, genuinely know very little about bw =[

Did MMA scan Hero natural? If so, he could have known some kind of pressure was coming and just prepared for it without actually knowing what kind of pressure.

Hmm the observer showed MMA's view at the time MMA was going up into his base to defend and he didnt see the proxy robotic afaik (could be wrong, gotta watch replay); and even his scan didn't see the 2 other gates at the bottom of Hero's base

Even though it was a very quick shot, I don't think it showed the Robo on MMA's vision,, probably need to re-watch that to confirm.

Lol, MKP have said booths aren't as good as international events too. And DRG I think.

MMA looking for observers, finds warp prism.

It was the wrong angle for observers, he had to guess somehow that the 4 gate wp was coming, or the obs would have been coming from south (hero's base). Only proxy air/wp should be coming from east. The timing for a VR allin is a bit later, and you wouldn't attack with VRs in one place and zealot/sentry/stalker in another, so MMA must have known exactly what build was coming. IDK if it was a luck-based choice or if MMA just knows Hero's thinking that well or if something else gave away the build, but it was a weird play.
