People need to quit complaining about Protoss (this is probs the first time I ever said this). Sea lost due to being completely predictable and failing to know his opponent. This is not a problem of imbalance.

Second barracks is possible because of two things Movie did: the gas steal and the heavy zealot rush. But ultimately those marines turn to shit if the opponent gets 2+ gates up with dragoon range. The aggression you need while 2raxing just isn't as reliable in the modern game in a long map like this as getting the natural and siege up faster.

I wonder if U-238 would've worked lol
I was just thinking, Flash would have gone U238 to defend with bunker and get a later factory. I'm sure it would have worked.
Jesus, if Flash did it it would work anyway, that's not an argument. And he wouldn't ever get U238. That's something left to Upmagic or Classic. And it doesn't work anymore (definitely not on this map).

U-238 costs gas, and not having gas was the problem. What would've worked imho would've been 4 more rines and a second bunker.
thats why he said to delay the factory. I dont think it would matter anyway because the next step in the protoss abuse list on that build are DTs and there was no way sea couldve stopped that.

you need space around your bunker so that you can get enough scvs around it to repair, that is why he lifted his rax. If he had depots there the bunker would've gone down to 5+ goons

Not really. He just can switch between attacking bunkers. Against that many dragoons, there's no way the SCVs can keep switching fast enough to prevent both bunkers from dying.
I think he should've done a better job blocking his ramp, but even then he would've still lost way too much.
