G1 Lilbow tries to stalker/phoenix all-in, can't break byun, liberator at home, gg G2 Lilbow tries to blink all-in, Byun is ready, drop mines at Lilbow's base, gg G3 Lilbow goes for a disruptor drop, goes decently well, almost kill Byun with a 3 base all-in but loses steam and Byun wins with 2/2 and libs vs 0/0 pure blink/disruptor Overall, very disappointing play from Lilbow, but the third game was interesting, he tried a cool disruptor flank that could have won him the game but Byun just sniped the disruptors while retreating. Now I missed the first game, how did SoS win? | ||

I still think HerO has a much better composition, but I don't think snute is out of this yet. herO's not making any warpins, he's just cranking out disruptors and playing pretty greedy. herO could have way more supply if he wanted to. Snute's multi-army control also lacking, he splits his army but only pressures with half of it so it gets flanked and dies for nothing. | ||

Not sure what map selection process could end up with Orbital being last though. | ||
