Ah, I absolutely get that reference about chinese chess :D I'm really bad at it though

Does MMA put 4 scv in gas intentionally? Fairly sure that no. Ok. Also i don't quite understand what is up with building 3 tanks, for that cost a bunch of WM would be much better tbh. Scared of a roach timing. This. Vortix didn't react to the weaker agressive potential so it ended up being fine. I would not say it is much weaker when distance between 4th of zerg and 3rd of terran is so much shorter than rush distance on steppes of war. 3 Tanks can still be overwhelmed quite easily if Terran tries to advance on creep.
True that, hence MMA kept the tanks and almost all the supporting cast outside of creep.

MMA was adding thors to bio mine since pretty long time ago. They tank well for their cost and can hurt mutas more than mine shot.

You mean Xiangqi, right? I'm afraid I don't know it. But there are definitely 'traps' in western chess, they merely require thinking ahead too many moves such that your optimal moves lure you in.
So, who's winning after the SCV war?

my dad can pwn me even without three of the "aggressive" piece and he is my mentor XD
It's pretty insane how he can have total control of the game with equal moves as I do even if I have more pieces.
I can take away one of his pieces but suddenly my structure in the middle got weaken because of that and I have to take like 5 moves to win the middle back and then I realise I am losing out on somewhere else lol
it's more than just reading and predicting the moves, it's even moving the pieces beforehand to save the time to counter my moves.

More often than not, I see them dying without doing much, for instance in Fantasy vs Sleep. With the way armies are generally positioned, mutas can magic box forward Thors without the 40+ Marines in the back being able to help.

Well, he was generally having a supporting cast of those 20+ marines with 3-3. Especially in series against Life.

mana turning that from horrible to amazing with that HT and sentries usage, pretty good FFs there
|
How the hell does one forget detection?! Come on... This looked like an interesting game for a moment.
|
MMA probably scanned and couldn't believe there were no observers...
|
Results as expected  Korean Terran duo too strong. GG Acer!
|
Poor Mana, I'm sure he's seen terrans scan hundreds of times before trying to use cloaked ghosts. WP MMA
|
Just imagine Terran had cloaked flying units in these situations. Sadly they can't snipe observers.
