You're right and I forgot about that game. He would probably still play mech if there was a good way to do it after a mass reaper opening. His bio wasn't very good. | ||

Playing super-standard might not impress random TL posters but it wins big shiny trophies. And I think we all know which of those two is more important (insert smartaass comment about winning the internet  ). Bottom line is, if he wins tournaments (and he wins a lot), why the fuck would Inno change his style? I too appreciate Gumiho's creativity and TY's brains, but I copy Inno's builds, not theirs. | ||

He defended the harass perfectly, but he had no plan to damage Gumiho in the lategame. He just survived and let Gumiho get his perfect composition and then took cost-ineffective engagements. I went back and watched that game. A nydus into the main with his hydra roach would have changed everything. | ||

I went back and watched that game. A nydus into the main with his hydra roach would have changed everything. Maybe but I doubt that would have worked. Gumiho had two sensor towers up and about 15 vikings. With that setup, it's pretty hard to get in and out with an overlord and actually pull off the nydus to boot. Long story short, Gumiho lost more units than I could count during the harass but with terran's safe setup and mule-based economy, losing all those units doesn't really matter much. If it was a protoss or zerg player that failed that hard with their harass, the game would have been over. As zerg has sad harass options against a turtling terran, Gumiho basically collected spellcasters to use for free units and won the battle by attrition. | ||
