He was probably not top 10 but definitely better than Reality and Leta at the time. Top 5 T's at the end were something like Flash Fantasy Baby Bogus and Light/Last. | ||

So why go for a greedy opening against a player that has shown the last 2 games that he is willing to pull out every cheese in the book? | ||

lol no, I believe that was more of an example of reacting to your opponents greed. An example of a build order win is proxy 2 gate vs 14 expand on the low ground. | ||

I think the meaning of symbol first game (like roro's) was "look I'm not bad in macro game, if you're not greedy you can loose" Terrans have to be greedy to some sort, to match Zergs. Otherwise you will need very aggressive and very good playstyle to pressure and expand behind it. If the Zerg defends anything from you while you are on 2 base and he holds his 3rd, you are done. Zerg is equally greedy, Terrans just match it. | ||

Sea wasn't in the top 5 Terrans towards the end, no way. It doesn't really matter though, Innovation is close to unbeatable in TvZ, having only dropped 3 maps now total since HotS has been released. | ||

We have multiple examples when zerg won after getting cannon rushed. Also, you can't cannon rush on every map and it's really easy to counter. Banebust randomly kills Terran. | ||

Anyhow, 3cc don't always die to baneling bust. The whole term "build order wins" these days implies random luck BO win that involves no skill or strategy. | ||

If you want to beat a superior opponent, sometimes you need the extra economy a greedy start can give, but Innovation has shown time and time again that he can win against players that go for greedy openings when he opens save, especially in tvz... So why go for a greedy opening against a player that has shown the last 2 games that he is willing to pull out every cheese in the book? A greedy opening gives you an edge if not allined. You can gain advantage in ~70% of the games, lose 20% instantly and probably defend 10%. Worth the risk. | ||

So why go for a greedy opening against a player that has shown the last 2 games that he is willing to pull out every cheese in the book? I'd say It's a risk because he was up 3-0 and can afford to lose a game to a BO loss, if Symbol didn't go for that particular all in his greed could have paid off and he would have been on the way to an easy 4-0. He just took a risk, it backfired. | ||

Didn't say it was one, only said you can have one without having made the decision beforehand. Here, BoguS got punished for being greedy. | ||
