It's all up to scouting, and usually when you scout 3cc you cut the early bane nest/speed and get more econ/other upgrades etc instead. I know that you can't get all, but you could at least get Baneling nest. Life's Baneling nest was way too late in that first game. | ||

Funny thing is how you think that someone who doesn't have mechanical skill or time to be a progamer can't understand things that progamers are doing. | ||

Meh. i wanted to write mean things about fanboyism and life and you, but you're in the army now, you're a man. Respect > forum trolling | ||

Zergs adapt and learn how to hold the early pushes, terran stops doing them and starts going a bit greedier, zergs adapt by going a bit more greedy themselves, terran switch back to earlier timings, its just how the wheel rolls. I don't get it. I mean I get the concept of "meta" but after a while they have covered most bases and it comes full circle. After that they seem like a bunch of goldfish sheep (have answer, forget answer, do what others do). They can still scout. They have the same tools. They can no longer excuse it on the "meta". This is the point when I could go on questioning their intelligence, but this post is already feeling way harsher than I meant it to be. Now I'm pretty dumb but I hope that I made a fairly reasonable point somehow. It's Saturday. And I'm on my way to the pub.  | ||

I don't totally disagree that Life's build was super greedy, so I'm not implying he's above all criticism, but I also don't think your quick analysis of the situation means you understand the risks and benefits of Life's build as well as he does. You also see the game from the obs viewpoint and not whatever Life has or hasn't noticed. Just an irritant of mine. | ||

Might have been, might have been intentional, we'll never know. It's hard to criticize progamers BOs when we don't know all of their thoughts behind them, what they believe about the other player, what the scouted etc. You will always try to cut as many corners to get small leads since the level of play is so high. You can say "play safe" about anything; "why didn't he just build a robo to be safe, why didn't he get a turret for DTs instead of losing 15 workers" etc, but if you always want to play safe against everything, you'll end up behind. | ||

Was kind sloppy from Life. Game 2 was weird. Life went proxy nat hatch and expand to gold, innovation made 2 rax to kill it then a bunch of weird stuff happened. WAtch it for weird novelty value game 3 Life tried to ling bane innovation on 20 drones. Innovation barely held but he had 3 OC's so when his macro kicked in life got rolled. | ||
