How the hell would you 1 gate expand vs Zerg with no adepts or oracles? How could you quickly expand in pvp when a single pylon on low ground can start warping in stalkers? Where you don't have WP pick-up range or increased health, or shield batteries to hold pushes? Where you have to research hallucination after warp gate if you want some sort of quick scouting? There's a reason the pvz expand build was 3 gate expand with mass sentries and sim city (and they still got busted all the time). Do you think neeb would remember the proper building locations for 3 gate expand on xel naga caverns? How would a Terran 1 rax expand against protoss when they don't have quick reapers? Yes there were some concepts that the early players were just not focusing enough on, like creep spread and scouting. But the rushes were powerful and the maps were small. Did yellow get triple bunker rushed from boxer because he was bad or ignorant? No, of course not. The build was strong and boxer had amazing micro. Would a B Zerg hold it today? Not likely. You're overselling it. They wouldn't immediately dominate, there would be some adaptation time, but they'd get there and it wouldn't take months. Memorizing a new build order is not the most difficult part of being a progamer. Yes I think Neeb would remember the proper building locations on Xel'Naga if he had to, lol. | ||

What was most hilarious to me about it was that Tastosis was really trying to figure out what was the strategy and couldn't believe it was a mistake. I found the game again once a few years ago, but not sure any more details. I think it was a small map. was there a stage where you needed pool to get evo? feel like i remember something like that | ||

I've just checked that it just requires spawning pool in LotV. Less chance for zergs to be unprepared, but there weren't oracles in WoL.  | ||

I'm pretty sure that it is a game from WOL of Maru, he is playing a gsl or gstl game against a protoss (don't remeber who). The protoss went for a two gate proxy (no gas) in Maru's main and hid the gates. Maru managed to defend the rush without scouting anything, it was pretty amazing for that time. If someone could post the link it would really be appreciated. i got u | ||

I beileve the terran might have been  Rain (Korean Terran). Does anyone know which game this was?EDIT: So after about an hour googling I found the game: Rain (Korean Terran) vs. InCaIt features some incredibly poor decision-making and the saddest supply drop you'll ever see. | ||

It was on a vertical map whose name I don't recall. I think it was Kyrix or Zenio that did it. I wanna say it was against MVP before he had won a GSL but could be wrong. It was such a fucking cool thing to see marines just disappear and instantly forced Terrans to play differently. Anyway, the hype was just wild. That was a cool time to watch SC2 - yes, the games were objectively terrible by contemporary standards, but there was such comedy and every GSL brought multiple new crazy things to the fore with a meta that changed by the minute. | ||

I seem to remember it was on Desert Oasis. It went: 10 Gas 11 Rax 11 Fact 11 Orbital 11 Port + techlab on barracks + supply depot swap port and factory 11 Banshee or something stupid like that. | ||

It felt epic I remember the GOM player. Didn't you have to pay for 480p? Lol, what a time. Some of my fondest memories as a teenager was watching NASL whilst having my homework sitting out in case my parents came into my room unexpectedly. I followed WOL like a madman. Played a a fair amount of Hots, but it was never quite the same as that early WOL magic. | ||

That's the one, thanks. I misremembered the players (I was right about Idra), that's why I could not find the video! | ||

There was also the Hongun game where he played versus a zerg all in and just built a never ending wall of buildings but I don't remember enough to be able to look for that one.  | ||
