Showtime quickly expanding to the bottom right is actually so clever! If/when the game goes long, those bases usually end up going to the bottom left player, and in this case, Maru took those bases after they were already deeply mined.

@Josh-99 Жыл бұрын

That game was just Showtime beating Maru to death with his wallet. He really should have used that income to transition to higher tech while keeping Maru contained instead of taking that bad engagement in the mid-game. A few Immortals, and perhaps even a Tempest or two to deal with the Siege Tanks would have been very useful. He DEFINITELY needed to get Storm earlier in the game as well. Still, it was a masterclass in "more stuff beats less stuff".

@LimboJimbo Жыл бұрын

That is easier said than done... Against an opponent like Maru, you can't give them the slightest bit of a pause unless you very much ahead and even then it is dangerous. So upgrading is compromising your ability to pressure. I think it's no insult for Showtime to acknowledge that mechanically, Maru is just better and Showtime knows it. So he has to kind of overwhelm him from a position where he has the better income. If he had gone for the upgrades as you suggested, I suppose you would have been surprised at how fast Maru can come back to hit you. And if you invest into transition and therefore have less army or only even to him, that is enough for him to destroy you 9 times out of 10.

@BrendanCS Жыл бұрын

Random question, why do terrans no longer use a depot, barracks, and then a tech lab or whatever to compete the wall off? Instead moving it back so that the tech lab and two depots make the wall off later?

@RedLinkWalrus Жыл бұрын

I think it’s because when you spawn on a certain side the depot will block your add on placement so they preemptively build the barracks to the side so they don’t have to stop and lift off later.

ShoWTimE just emptied Maru's bases from the beginning, that lower right corner base he took dried a lot of Maru's income for the later stages of the game, as the game progressed he just fell back and mined those bases he could defend easier while the bases that were left for Maru to take had already some mining I love this Zerg'y way of playing Protoss makes it an interesting race to watch unlike a couple years ago
