One does not simply...
Make cannons. They're expensive.
Alicia had lots of minerals while building his 3rd base for the first time. and only one cannon at each base, in awful positions. I would just expect better. Especially knowing how dangerous drops are.
Exactly. The cannon positioning is god awful, either it's in the middle or on a far side. Also, his zealot defense against drops were terrible. 1A through 1 mineral gap isn't going to cut it against 3 marauders behind it. So many zealots were just running behind each other. It was painful to watch. He almost had it with that archon push if he just defended those drops well.

lol someone doesn't understand SC2 very well if you think this is a bad game.
it was a poorly played game. alicia lost his robo 3 times and his templar archive, and he loses every single worker and a nexus to one medivac full of units. he didn't get his 2nd weapon upgrade until 5-6 minutes after his first one finished even though he was floating over 800 minerals and gas. it was alicia's game to lose, and he lost it because he wasn't on top of his game.
keen wouldn't have been pushed back so easily if he had some hellbats to tank damage from zealots/archons after his vikings killed all the colossus.
the only new thing about this game was the fact that alicia used photon overcharge to pretty little effect.

lol, you know absolutely nothing. what is your basis for deeming sniper as 'irrelevant'? just becuz he got knocked out of code s in the ro32 last season? save for losing that one game to huk due to overconfidence and stubbornly staying on ultras for too long, his play was nothing short of what one would expect from a code s champion. also, no one ever considered him as 'the best player', but he did bring to the table some of the absolute most solid, textbook zerg play that weve ever seen. sigh, just stop pulling shit from your ass kid. nothing can really be definitive until we at least see tonight (if he gets fielded) what sort of state sniper is really in.
