this is not something that happened to him out of nowhere, its totally his fault. Either you play cheese risk and win, or experience phycological blows and lose.

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
yeah i understand that but he could have walled in the ramp with the rax and depots or factories. why were the goons allowed down into the main?
I am a noob but why didnt Sea cover his bunker with his barracks. He already lifted, so he could have easily moved it on top. Wouldnt it make it harder to target the bunker?

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.
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.
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.
That is not what I meant. The second bunker was supposed to be below the cc somewhere, in range of the ramp. The idea is to prevent a goon walk by with 2x firepower while scvs block. Sea was preventing a frontal break with one bunker just fine, it's the walk by that killed him.

First, he didn't predict that Movie would cheese and second, it was a reverse ramp.
i meant after the initial zealot stuff - why the dragoons were allowed in. you can block a reverse ramp - light did it against flash earlier today
Sea was really behind and the fact he tried to take his natural after losing a lot of scvs and marine's already nailed the coffin and it doesn't help knowing that 2 gate goon sniped off the tank at natural . Abusive build indeed , I really hate proxy gates and as a protoss user , I don't do proxy gate at all .

i think it's because sea himself had to target the bunker with repairs

Ah, you're right. That probably would've worked but Sea was already behind and making an extra 4 marines and another bunker just based on the possibility that Movie would do a dragoon runby (something we almost never see) would've put him too far behind. I'm pretty sure Movie would've just retreated with his dragoons after seeing the second bunker.

I don't 4pool or 3hat hydra ever. But they are pros, in the end they get paid to win. The build was very well prepared and executed, despite producing a short onesided game, I respect that.

idk about this. the dragoon runby seemed like the obvious move from movie
Terrans pls stop bashing zergs 24/7 and learn to tvp. Also, I hope Fantasy terrorises some protosses for this... i hate protoss this season
It really makes my blood boil when Toss complains about the maps and then pvt has been like 80% this season or something ridiculous... pretty sure toss are leading in pvz as well.

He did have enough cash for 2 facts though. So the outcome with movie retreating would've been: behind? yes; dead? no
