Kal's earlier stargate means he'll always have the phoenix lead. That's why HerO went Twilight Council immediately. There's no way for him to scout whether Kal is doing a 3gate phoenix all in or a phoenix -> robo expand.
In other words, his build and plan got completely fucked up by the mothership core being sniped
the msc scout was terrible anyway, cause it didnt scout anything
whut??? it told him that it was stargate+ phoenixes can't expect much more to see can you?

i hope it will be sooner, can't stand that unoriginal and boring MU
I feel like the whole "PvP sucks"-thing is some kind of remnant from the 4-gate era. The match-up has improved so much yet many people seem to think it's still exactly the same as it was 2 years ago
I think these days, it is not about that it necessarily sucks but that there are so many of them.

That doesn't make it a terrible move?
Phoenix first off a 1gate stargate is a gigantic coinflip that nobody ever does because it dies to anything that even slightly resembles pressure. Had it been literally anything else the core scout would have been a very useful one.
