Because this is so similar to what Clem often does in TvZ in EU tournaments and ladder, Reynor probably has thousands of game defending this already. | ||

Clem started doing it after the KR terrans / ByuN though. It’s still inherently bad imo, but there is no decent build in TvZ so I guess you gotta chose something anyways even if it’s bad | ||

In fact, the best way playing against Reynor is "camping" on the Terran side and slowly pushing out. But Byun doesnt want to do that, same way as Maru trying to send 2-3 Medivacs against the 10 Vikings from Clem. | ||
