That says just about nothing about how viable they are.

Yeah, but once you're set on your path of tech then you usually don't deviate
Yeah, I mean before the Council; unless my memory fails me Rain's Probe scouted the Nexus, then he decided to go Council to all-in. That's what I don't understand with herO's decision to fast expand, to me it seems it gives Rain two options: a) reactively expand himself for an even game; b) reactively all-in with the tech of his choice.

he can but then he is behind anyway, it's tough in pvp, rain could have gone for other things but these are most of the time mind games. the best out is just to try and end it there.

Im not upset since CJ put up great fight instead of choking horribly in the PO like they used to do. At least the outlook of a telecom derby grand final doesnt look so bad, and a FvF maybe. Gj T1
I think the days of CJ choking in the playoffs are behind them. You guys did win mutant/hybrid proleague  . So i dont think that distinction holds anymore.

I think it's part of the rock-paper-scissor-spock-twilight-stargate-robo thing. The nex+robo build should usually hold the three-gate Blink and maybe the four-gate. Should win vs DT. Up to micro vs SG, lose to some Gateway attacks, etc

Pretty much that fantasy was playing well with mech in practice and that bbyong didnt play it play well at all (as the camera was on bbyong glaring at him )

Yeah. Usually you go Robo to fight off Stalkers and DTs with immo/obs. Surprised to see him go Blink

The thing with fast expand PvPs is that you always get tech behind it really fast. So it forces the opponent to either take a slightly behind spot (tech won't be far ahead, expand will be behind) or all in where, even if they kill the nexus, the game doesn't necessarily end. They might not even be ahead if they kill the nexus.

Why would he be behind? Just because his Nexus timing would be later or is there something else?

When mech gets a buff in LoTV and hellions/hellbats get the vulture transformation and spider mine upgrade, then Fantasy will be the best terran again.
