I don't think the rush hurt him very much. At least not as much as it hurt Showtime. He had to spend over 400 minerals on pylons and cannons to cancel a base where Elazer already had his third ready to go. He got basically no value out of those buildings other than forcing an awkward second base which he did nothing to punish.

what are you supposed to do vs 3 hatch before pool then? let it happen and 2-base all-in?

Unless Elazer goes afk, it's over I fear.

I'm not a Toss player and I'm not GM so I can't say what he should have done but possibly he should have read the situation better and just FFE'd instead of forcing a cannon rush in a bad situation

Showtime dying a slow painful inevitable death
He probably knows it too which is the worst feeling ever

Real bad Performance by Showtime:
1400 floating mins, 500 gas, full chronoboost on natural...

If you open forge and he goes 3hatch you shuold just keep on canonrushing everybase. Elazor could not have defended the base on the right or the left. The moment it was clear that the pylon wall would not be broken he should have rushed to the next base. The pool was like a quarter done at that point.

is elazer the new serral or is this too early again

like I said, I think he could still have cannoned 7 o'clock and force a super awkward base layout for Elazer which could be punished really easily, Iron Fortress is no Deadwing

ShoWTimE will probably regret picking up Elazer... I didn't know that kid played this well, pretty flawless series.

This seems to have backfired. The creep spread from that third base is almost at showtime's base.
