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
The probe count is usually quite even because the all inner cuts probe production. Tech is NOT much faster as you saw this game. herO's blink finished only slightly after Rain's and his unit count was even as well. And, of course, he's got defender's advantage with overcharge.

Still a good showing from CJ I think.

Allright, there is always next year from CJ. With effort on top from the get go and bunny as well they could really get an awesome year.

Gotta give major credit to Coach Park too. He did that much with a team that doesn't have quite the star power of SKT1 when he was there. It's very impressive.

The unit count isn't even.
Rain was building a dt shrine, lost his msc and still won a fight with DAMAGED stalkers outside herO's natural...
The last fight before the dt warpin shows all thats wrong with fast expands...

Man what a close series, 3 days with several heart-breaking moments
Glad Rain made it through, but CJ was still so close
Wonder why they were lacking of manner lately? for more intense??

From memory Rain built the Dark shrine after a 3 Stalkers warp-in, which means he could not have spent the extra gas without extra production anyway. He didn't rebuild his MSC either.

11 vs 11 stalkers
DARK SHRINE COMPLETES!!
ROBO STARTS AS DT WARPED IN
herO cancelled his robo because he thought he needed more units, then got supply blocked when it mattered most. Had he made the right calls, he would've won the game.

Since hybrid proleague, rain has had one of the worst playoff records for SKT. This year he shows his growth!
