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. i am masters in NA only, but it still counts, also, i am saying its only 100% safe to expand once you see the robo or the opponent's nexus, doesnt mean you would normally see it. Also, 4 gate will insta kill a fast expanding player, so does a pure blink allin, this is why pvp is so coinflippy, mostly because you cant scout | ||

Either China paid about 2,000 people to show up to the opening ceremony and then leave, or they came for free shit, got it, and then went to go watch the cosplayers at the event. | ||
