He shouldn't have pulled (that many) drones. Blocking the wall is nice but not necessary. If anything, it forced aLive to start his barracks with his initial 150 minerals next to his CC, which would have been a faster rax than if he had started it on the wall, but had to start a 2nd next to the CC and cancel the one at front. aLive put his depot on the wrong side - if it was to the left, the rax on the right can be reinforced by an ebay or 2nd rax behind it that will finish the wall (see: Suppy vs Polt in MLG). However, because aLive's depot was to the right, that meant that the rax was in the more open side of the wall, which would require more than a 2nd rax to wall behind, which means the wall would be open when the rax would inevitably fall to lings (lings can take down a rax before it finishes).

So if Suppy had kept more drones at home instead of pulling them to delay the rax, aLive would have a slower marine coming out, and Suppy would have more lings and would have still breached the wall. Eventually, you reach a critical mass of lings (10+) where an scv surround no longer matters.

It's basically 6 for yes and 5 for no.

But don't we usually see a bit more of 2-4 stars in there as well?

Yea. Suppy's control was quite subpar. I think any Korean Zerg would have won with the 6 pool then and there.

a 6pool can be held with cc on lowground easier then everything on ramp without a walloff, because it gives more time. Yes, bad execution, he was so close

Could this be one of the more polarizing polls so far?

some people think it was a good game because of a great hold, the others think it was a bad game because Suppy made major mistakes (get it?)

yeah, one of the more polarizing ones, but with like ten people voting each time it doesn't say much anyway

Ya... isn't 6-pool versus CC first supposed to be able to cancel the CC even?

Depends on the map distance/how many times the scv is sniped/forced to pull off and reposition. I had a game on Bel'shir Vestige where my CC was canceled at 99% build progress

4 and 2 are dumb. What does 4 mean? Barely above meh but not really recommended to watch? 2 is barely below meh but maybe you'll like it?

I think the reason we stopped using the stars was because the more popular polls basically ended up with 2 and 4 being unused. It basically became Yes/Meh/No with stars instead of words.

Suppy only has himself to blame, he had an BO win but screwed up the execution. Major was actually correct in his suggestion, Suppy was the one who screwed up.
