Well, I do think foreigners have more trouble with Korean Ts as oppose to Ps and Zs. I think that is just due to the low numbers of top foreigner Ts. So players end up working on their vZ and vP a lot more. | ||

I vaguely want Idra to beat rain. I think it would tickle me immensely. Never going to happen. But it would tickle me. idra gets the bad end either way where as Stephano has a chance vs Rain and is favored against HerO | ||

Fast expansions can defend every single build in the current meta game on maps where blink observer is weak, It is by no means greedy as you say. Word of advice, don't scout their base in PvP (Only scout for proxies) as the information you get from a probe scout is completely irrelevant. The extra influx of minerals you get allows you to just play blindly and in conjunction this allows you to efficiently defend both early aggression and latter tech oriented all ins.The advantage you get from fast expand basically gives you free wins/advantages vs both Phoenix/Robo macro plays. The specific version of fast expand that Rain did is basically willing to sacrifice the nexus, the timings of his units allow him to defend any sort of gateway push that dosen't over commit on killing the nexus. In the scenario that he cannot hold the nexus he simply cancels it and has a huge advantage with quicker tech as the aggressor is committing a vast amount of his resources that only correlates into forcing a nexus cancel. (FF should prevent him from outright killing you) Not sure what league you are in but in no scenario should you ever be able to reactively fast expand after scouting a Robo considering they should never let your probe see it to begin with. | ||
