Is taking the front base the new standard in TvP on Vanni? I've seen it a ton lately and feels like it would just die to a stim timing. Do you only do it if you smell mine drop?

You do it if you get ebay blocked and don't want to 1-base all-in?

FWIW, MaNa was going to take the pocket expansion, but it was blocked by an ebay

Not TvP but last challenger day I'm pretty sure Ret never took his pocket base. I haven't seen enough to see if that's meta or not but it was rather cool.

The Protoss killing floor so far. Please MaNa, you're worth better than that.

That's the Liquid Zerg meta of taking the front base first for creep spread and then forgetting the pocket expo.

We need a little diversity, how about 2-0 Heromarine into 3-0 Heromarine this time?

I assumed it was more of "why take this guaranteed base when I can take all the others" and then if he needs it to go and take it

Yeah, that's the real point, take a bunch of other bases and then have a safe expand later. But Snute actually legit forgot his pocket natural in WCS vs Showtime last season. In a 45 minute game.

Why I assumed Protoss were digging it in TvP is it can be sometimes hard to take your third since you need to walk down a small ramp and Terran can fairly easily contain the Protoss on 2 bases. At least thats what I do every game Vanni.

It was just because of an ebay block tho. And keep in mind that the pocket natural is anything but safe vs Terran.
