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.


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.


This doesn't make sense.
The one pulling an all in has more probes, faster tech and more units and the fast expander has lost 400 minerals

Still, even if we won this bo3 this and the last playoffs are really worrying. The best team in sc2 isn't supposed to go to the very ace like this. Whoever comes to the grand finals has a real good shot at winning. Hoping for Jin Air because I cheer for them after SK Telecom, but KT vs SKT is a classic that everyone will love. Good vs evil. Light vs darkness.

No need. PvP fast expand is almost an auto loss


That's just wrong.

Rain had two options: expand and be behind or attack and be basically all in (he needs to break the nexus and not lose his army to be even/ahead)


I am sure a huge majority of fast expand PvPs have been losses.


That says just about nothing about how viable they are.


Really? Why not?


Because PvP is a very volatile matchup where everything has weaknesses. There was a period of time when every time someone did 3gate blink they'd die to a 3gate attack before blink was done. 3gate blink is still probably the most common PvP build though and it's perfectly viable. It just got countered a lot. If something gets countered often in broadcasted games it can still be perfectly viable.

Probe count was 25 to 22 in Rain's favor but herO had as many units.

Some of you SKT fans are breaking my heart. This is the latest elo ranking for SC1. Flash isn't even top two. What a scrub.

Rain lost a msc, built a dt shrine (meaning no time warps, no NO, less resources to spend on stalkers) and still won the fight outside herO's natural...
