It's also an absolute pain to deal with mines in tight angles, and since the distance to push into the third/4th is so little it's a lot easier to suddenly discover mines in your base, which is never good.

Maru build was done for that specifically no?
The 12rax expand? Due to getting the marines coming out for the free overlord?
Yes, and perhaps afraid of a 6-9 pool.

double factory? Maru copying my strat vs Musicus

Already saw Maru's mech play and it's pretty interesting.
He might go for it this game... hope it will go well.

Jaedong winning this tournament would be so good for SC2 in Korea ! And even here, considering the reactions of the crowd

in other news i got a friend of mine who's never seen any sc2 watching this. he's asking me really funny questions but he appears to be quite into it even though he has no idea wtf is going on. What kind of questions is he asking? Has he been watching all day or just this series?
started watching last game. he asked me who Jayden is, why there is disgusting stuff on the ground on some parts of the map, and why Jayden lost the last game. that kind of stuff.

if JD loses this map it's gonna be bloody hard for him to win the decider
