That absolutely sucks dude  Still, that was a great match. Awesome job! | ||

So this means basically that you need to use warp prisms for warping in and attacking everywhere. As a bit of help he also said that the rule only applies until you have 3 bases up and mining, at that point it becomes optional. He did mention that things like Immortal drops would still be kickass, so don't think you can ONLY attack with warp-prism'ed gateway units. | ||

Dropping immortals with warp prisms works too. After 3rd base you can proceed normally or something like that. *edit* What is said above is more accurate. | ||

Day9 often refers to attacking and expanding at the same time as a basic good RTS fundamental. However, to me this seems very backwards. In a recent GSL Artosis also outlined his reasoning for why when your are expanding is the absolute worst time to attack, basically completely contradicting Day9. Now far be it from me to claim to know better than the all mighty Thought-Hammer, but to me it seems like expanding while attacking is bad because: A) Right when you expand you have invested the 400 in a Nexus but have gotten no return on that investment which means you will be about 8 food behind your opponent if he is building units. The longer the game goes the less an 8 food differential matters, and furthermore as time goes on you will start to reap dividends from your investment. Right when you throw down the Nexus is exactly when your army disadvantage should be greatest. B) If you are expanding you are making an investment in the late game which means if the game goes longer you should have an advantage over your opponent. Why would you do anything that might shorten the game while simultaneously investing in something that will only pay off if the game is not short. C) Attacking doesn't really protect your expansion. If you have a big enough army that your attack would succeed then you have a big enough army that with the defenders advantage you should have no problem protecting your expo. If anything moving your army out puts your expo at risk to counter attacks. I fully understand why pressuring, or moving your army up and back might be smart while expanding to keep your opponent on the defensive, but actually committing to an attack in any way doesn't make sense to me. Am I thinking about this incorrectly? This actually seems like such an important fundamental idea that misapplying it could likely lose you a lot of games. I've been doing better since I've stopped expanding while attacking and started focusing on defense if I plan to expand in the near future, and focusing all my resources on my army if I plan to attack in the near future. | ||
