17/06/07 Replay of the week
This was an excellent game between Pilbots and Apollo on Tournament Rift. Both players used solid operational build orders but Apollo's was a little more economy heavy as he produced his refineries before placing a barracks. There wasn't much harassment early in this game a single lightning spike at Pilbots base pretty much summed it up.

New ROW!
Intense Open Palms game between #1 and #2: Sir_Loui VS TheBigOne:
Strategically and Tactically, both players had a strong understanding of what they needed to do. The only huge mistake this game was TBO's complete and utter disregard for the importance of intel collection. He never made any efforts to actively scout loui's base and rarely bothered to scout out his existing forces. It was good that he protected his ACU from the obvious gunship rush by using AA, but he needed radar too to protect against other forms of threat
