Also have you ever played a +hour game before? I played a mech vs P in WoL which went on for 2 hours. The entire map was mined out minus one base which he was mining at with one probe and he had carriers which couldn't engage all my turrets. It's tense as hell as any small thing you do wrong can cost you the game. It's crunch time 24/7. | ||

The pressure and the long games Gumiho played that don't happen frequently is why. The fact that this game actually means something is why it becomes harder. Gumi probably has a million thoughts about that game atm, and it's probably extremely fresh in his memory. It might also lure him to play greedy because the human mind is weird. You never know in high-pressure moments. | ||

Indeed, the psychological pressure is immense, failure is now brutally and publically punished in a way that doesn't happen in training. It's like taking an important test, I spent about two hours on a corporate law exam last week, and I was completely drained the whole day after, my brain basically checked out once I was done. | ||

But if you delay addons and they're not pressuring you, then your army's significantly smaller later on in the game (which is huge because it'll be when the zerg's econ kicks in). As long as the marine-production doesnt delay anything else, no? Random numbers pulled out of my ass: You can either go 5 marines out of your first rax, add another rax and max 5x2 marines, and add a 3rd trax. You end with 15 marines and 3 rax. Or you go 3 marines at start. Then wait. Then add 2 more rax and make 4x3 marines. You also end with 15 marines and 3 rax. Irrelevant example because I know thats not how people play, i know that. But it illustrates the point. The first example should constantly have more marines out until the other way catches up. | ||

You never know in high-pressure moments. ^agreed. Quick "meaningless" games will probably keep your adrenalin at a reasonable level. A super long intense game on stage will definitely mess up your chemicals more (and it's not something practiced for). | ||
