Odin vs Light was simply awesome. Odin's decision to camp over the barracks was brilliant. Light was so far ahead in economy, but he couldn't make an army with it. Although if he tried to camp at the expansion and turtled, I think he could've won.
And what a facepalm-worthy decision by han to make his citadel BEFORE he killed Stork's probe. Seriously han, you really thought Stork cared to run his probe back when he's playing against a noob like you!?
I don't know, in hindsight and after seeing the VOD, Light didn't have much choice but to keep trying to protect his main. The extra SCV's wouldn't do anything at the nat coz it was fully saturated anyway and Light couldn't mass many MnM if he had no supply.
Maybe if he floated his raxes straight to the nat right away and then massed a force to send to Odin's main he could have won, but that would have been a huge overreaction imo. I don't think Light realized how bad things would snowball and the fact Odin had balls of steel just pumping lings nonstop rather than trying to replenish eco really threw him off.
Amazing game nonetheless. Crazy how Odin had that very very tiny window where he could do something and he actually managed to seize it and exploit it for all it was worth. Only thing he shouldn't have done was try to bull through that bunker. Other than that he played it perfectly after he lost his nat.
