Honestly.. have you ever seen an expand to the gold on antigua in ANY matchup in any pro game or ladder game above gold/diamond? Second expand maybe, but she was talking about the choice between your natural and the gold. | ||

SsQ at 8 in the blue trunks, and Flo in red at 2. both players with mirrored standard openings, flo maybe 2 seconds ahead. flo going for stim and a cc with an additoinal barracks, while ssq techs up to starport likely behind reactored hellions. flo's reaper goes right into the main of ssq, and the hellion tries to head it off but is unable to keep it from scouting the starport. flo already was going up to 3 barracks so she's in good shape for anny banshee shenanigans, but the bunker she's building at her nat probably won't be in time for hellions - scratch that, the hellions are waiting for a marine force and the bunker will get up in time. ssq also has a medivac, and as the hellions run around below the base, ssq drops the main weth 7 marines flo has a very hard time defending this attack, running her scvs aronud for ages and losing a lot of them before finally fending it off. still, she does have 2 bases to ssq's 1 and has the lower population but almost all of it is in scvs. flo now moving out with almost all of her marines to try to take the watchtower, where ssq has 1 and a half full mevidacs. the medivacs are spottet anbut the marines can't quite take them out before they unload. ssq's larger force causes flo to flee, and ssq elevators yet again. once again flo tries to defend with only marines, but she has superior positioning and easily pushes the drop away. the chinese commentators are shouting about marineking. ssq STILL with no 2nd base. | ||

If they tried to do it like any other tournament evveryone would complain about anything but with all these giggling and pink, and the commentators not being too serious, gives the whole thing a fun atmosphere. What would you be complaining about? Stream quality? I can name you dozens of other tournaments where that was an issue, so why would it be something special here? I really tried to give this tournament a chance, but all this overly "feminine" presentation (pink mouse, why?) really rains on my parade and makes me think that the people who predicted this would be more of a publicity stunt than a sincere attempt to integrate women into the gaming scene were right. Gonna watch Battle in Berlin now. | ||

I don't know what she meant but what you wrote means your third base and second natural is obv the closest third base and there has been plenty of GSL games where people take gold as their third base and even games where people take gold first. | ||
