polt played really standard, even forgot some things like upgrades for a while. I thought hero's plan was really weird though, can anyone shed some light on it.


He didn't really have one. His blink aggression got shut down really hard and perhaps he knew he was behind. Hidden bases are so gimmicky though...

I expect a much more normal game from herO here

so do i and i think he will play much better because of it.

I think they are good to have to make your opponent think you are still on two-base, but he got his standard third (a fourth) and didnt have optimum mining in time because of it.

it takes a significant amount of time before it actually pays for itself because it puts you behind in a lot of other things like army and tech

Eh. Not many people play around having a hidden base. Not really a solid plan.

Yeah, and when you build it and then build ANOTHER expand, its wayyyy too greedy to work.

Its not a great plan to have going into a game, but grabbing one when you are being aggressive and preventing your opponent's map presence sometimes works out well.

The problem is when your aggression falls flat on its face like herO's did.
