yes! and i remember having a hell of a time getting minerals that map too, i had to expand to that gold mine cause I felt like my build order was taking forever.

I'm going to watch the replay when I get home to see what they did.

Do you actually have to save a replay or are they all readily available? That was a pretty crazy army they had. By the time I had 10 reapers and you had some stalkers and zeals, they had armies 3 or 4 times our size with units that are twice to 3 times as expensive.

I just got home from class and really want to play before work but bnet is down :(

yeah, looks like we waited just a little too long and you f'ed up with your reapers, had you gotten behind the lines it would have worked.

he had a great build strategy but they were completely vulnerable for a long while...

I just won 5 in a row on 1v1. If I can make it past the first 15 minutes I usually come out winning.

I more or less build marines and medivacs and just keep rushing.

yup, that's what's getting me, those mmm *****. I've lost my edge on my 7 pool rush and expands. I was getting really good with having a massive army of hydras defending the main and decoy expansion all the while having 3 other expands. It feels like my attn span went to ****. my macro is terrible right now.

7 pool and expand is not a good strat at all, hence why you lost your edge. Any pool that early is a cheesy all in strat.

It doesn't matter that early pool costs you A LOT in your economy, waiting 2-3 more drones/probes for a building really is game changing.
