I thought this was actually a great build. Its a great meta read, based on this map, and the use of the corner of the gold was really smart. Also, once people know about it, the build isn't very good on this map, so I doubt we'll see too much more of it.
Yea I honestly don't have a problem with it since it was actually all in. It was a true gamble.
The problem with Blink All in on most other maps is that even though it LOOKS All In it actually isn't. It's a super strong build that only has draw backs if you over extend stupidly with it.

That could do with qualification or it sounds a bit Lance Armstrong.
It's a fair point, if you win with blink, go blink. It's blizzards problem not cranks.

As much as we hate cheese and Blink play they will always be a consistent part of the game like it or not. Professionals need to win and if the opportunity presents itself to use those builds then why not take it?

Quickly, we have to call it a macro cheese

Oh macro game.
Didn't see that coming.

If this was Maru he'd just kill him anyway without even caring about the hidden base.
God that game was so good.

Broodlord-infestor basically forcing protoss into super greed to get any kind of edge against that terran composition...
As a result, Bomber can be greedy as well..
That's the magic of BL-INF

Nothing wrong with players playing to win, but don't criticize spectators for voicing their hate (so long as it's within reason ofc).

Bomber better be 40-50 supply ahead if he attacks, because 2/2 vs 1/0 wont be pretty
