I know, JD knows eveybody knows that. But this is not how you play starcraft. You want to surprise your opponent, get every advantage you can, and risky play (or retard play according to LR polite posters) definitely is part of this. I mean, proxy 2 gates against Zerg is as risky (retarded) than what JD did in this game. | ||

It was a poor choice of build order even in a normal game (since the probe should be able to block the 15 hatch), and because if you're going to really fast 3 hatch you should at least scout. hatch first is being played by a ton of pros. You just see if you can get it down, else you play 15 or 16pool... If the map allows to defend against a canon rush with drones it's a good choice. And fast third... the only build that you get a BO loss against is the double proxy gate, which is hardly ever being played because it's holdable by anything if scouted and a BO loss against pool first as well as 6-10pool rushes. It's not "stupid". You go for it and accept the occasional BO loss, while getting a nice advantage if you don't get the BO loss. | ||

You simple scout the natural with your 9 ov as usual and only do it if you see the lack of a scouting probe... It's quite standard on 4p maps or to do when P uses a no scouting build... Of course you don't do it if you get 9 scouted... But you can easily react to that. | ||

While not stupid, I don't think is the way to go when you are forced to win to give your team a chance. IMO, in those situations you should play safer. | ||

I hope he doesn't go into a deeper slump after today. on the side note, JD is always welcome to play BW! Yay! | ||

Player B picked a terrible build order, hence player A "absolutely outplayed" him (by doing nothing special...). A very smart thing to say indeed. Here is a better use of the word "outplay": "Taeja outplayed Innovation". :p | ||

This is a retarded line of thinking... You don't change your play depending on what is at stake.. You play the strategy that gives you the biggest chance of winning, it absolutely does not matter at all what the situation is. Understanding that is a key thing to being a pro, adapting your style to the occasion is a flaw and only makes you weaker and more predictable. | ||

I'm not speaking about a change of style, but in those situations you can try to drone scout. That's it. | ||
