Erm, the exact opposite would be "getting more behind". Yes he was enjoying choking Demu out as much as he could, but what I mean is that he was going to every possible length in both games 1 and 2 to make a comeback totally impossible (sensor towers, lots of turrets, mines, keeping his opponent from being able to expand to fresh bases etc). It's interesting because while Terrans do have a lot of those sorts of tools, I don't think you see them used hugely often. In any case, it's sad to see my favourite player get so badly outclassed. It was nice to see him in a semifinal though, even if it was only in a very small tournament. | ||

It implies that you minimize the probability of your opponent making a comeback, and the best way to do that is to make it possible for you to make a lot of micro/unit control mistakes and still end up winning. He exactly didn't do that. Demuslim could have had vikings patrolling area x at time x in the game and wupsie 2 thors + 2 dropships would have tied. The same thing about the doom-drop in the main, and the BC without securing air control was also likely a troll move. All of the expo taking wasn't really safe as well as they were way too vulernable too drops. The "getting more ahead" approach is usually a very boring approach where you put up a lot of turrets/patrolling vikings/take aboslutely zero risks and make sure that the opponent can never get back. Sack scvs instead/build OC's --> get a 170 food army deathball which your opponent can't possibly beat. Or let me ask you this; How do you explain the fact that after he just invested 1500 minerals into expos he moved out with a 150 supply attack?????? That makes zero logical sense from a miniminze probability of losing logic. Instead it was clear he just wanted to play a fast-paced game where he had lots of fun but which also had lots of risks involved. I don't really know whether Demu get outclassed. He losses in the same manner which he has done a lot in the past and will continue to do in the future (getting outsmarted). In terms of pure mechanics though he is better than most code b koreans. | ||
