Rain was the epitome of standard, but I do remember HotS herO as a far more conservative and defensive player than the aggressive cheesy one he is now

Losing to proxy 2-gates over and over addled his mind. Though while he was no sOs.

This is exactly the conversation that just went through my brain.

Maybe being the clear cut ace for CJ Entus for so long caused him to play more defensively/safer. Although he was never really a Rain type imo.

Gumiho must be so sad. He thought he was way ahead. That is the worst way to lose: a hidden gold base.

A rather ugly game. Having a gold base forgives a lot of mistakes.

Brainfart from Gumiho there, checking all of the other locations except for the gold.

Ok, so if herO doesn't get a free gold base in the next game, how is his sloppy control going to hold up?

I'm surprised it took protoss so long to realize how good storm is.
Delaying double forge for a super fast storm hard counters 2 base bio so much its not even funny.

Yeah, Hero definitely should've made shield batteries.

Nah against continuous cyclones they run out of power too fast. It's basically a build order loss without a robo.

That build is pretty genius cos everyone walls off that reaper spot meaning you're basically guaranteed to kill the building there, which is usually the cyber core, and sometimes it's the first gateway or the SG/tech building. It would be a beneficial snipe in all those scenarios.

If you don't see the first barracks, is it reasonable not to wall that off? The problem is that if you don't you're just sabotaging yourself a bit if it's a proxy reaper, but it isn't the biggest deal.
