Getting a good doom-drop or preventing it has a lot to do with maintaining map-control and having good army positioning. But it's not like actual tank stalemates can happen anymore now with liberators. While doom drops are still a pain to clean up if they slip through your network even just once. | ||

It looks indeed very safe and skips the part of the game I don't enjoy as well. Maybe I should try it. | ||

Yeah the only difference is that he added a factory that fast, while i make a 3rd rax before it to add to the safeness aswell as getting a huge force of bio to harass with when you get medivacs. | ||

I don't understand anything to TvT, don't be too harsh on me was it his opener last game ? Maybe this was and I found it less surprising since it was Defender's | ||

I mean obviously a round based game like chess with perfect information is very different from a real time game with imperfect information. But in comparison to the other matchups TvT felt the most like this round based game trying to control space, etc. I mean you could compare it to go and that might be better, but chess is the western game so there is that. | ||
