... MajOr saw the drop, right ? I think he was trying to make Bomber think he didn't know and snipe the army, but he failed hard and he found himself dead before he could even regret his decision.
Yeah he was trying to bait him in, but Bomber took the bait and then stabbed him with it.

Just noticed this new sponsor for WCS AM, Newegg
I don't live in the US, is this company any big, small? (honest question, totally ignorant here)

I mean, Bomber ALWAYS gets some combination of Marines/Tanks plus probably a Raven, which so happens to be exactly the composition you need to defend most 1-base cheese play. There are certain ways you can array your forces so that even if a blind attack comes that you don't scout, you're already in a position that enables you to have the best possible chances on the defense.
No you're not missing sarcasm man, I really know nothing about TvT. But then isn't there a way people could play really greedy to compensate for Bomber lack of information ? Maybe the problem would be your teching up to raven too slowly in case Bomber goes banshee ?

It is one of the larger online computer parts stores in the US and is in Canada so it is a fairly large sponsor.

Sure, you can go defensive 1-1-1 into 3 CC double E-bay, and just do like Bomber likes to do and smash face with a 14:00 max 2-2 Marine/Tank army. Only problem is if Bomber also does that you then have to out-Bomber Bomber.
I actually liked the way Major approached Game 1 of the series, with Mech versus Bio, but he made some execution errors that allowed Bomber to gain an edge, as well as Bio being REALLY good versus Mech on Sejong with all that airspace and multiple attack angles.

Ah ah I think I understand, trying to outgreed Bomber would actually take the game in a type of game Bomber enjoys. It's really a win-win scenario for him.

Wow really surprised to see Puck lose to Slam, but will be interesting to see how Major handles his style here. I'm a bit scared for Juan.

Ouch this response to hellbats looks like something players did a week after the patch. At least he has a quick spire.
