It's quite hard getting enough cash to actually get knights or rangers out in a game like that btw, with my farms being constantly destroyed because i was facing a 6 cave spam. Also just because he didn't unit mix till quite late doesn't mean infire should have had a lower score, it's a totally viable strat that works well, in the tourny he beat fabled and child with this strat which must mean something.
Either way i thought the review was harsh

Edit: Alright I viewed and it def had a harsh rating. A lot of back and forth action, definitely a ROTW contender. But the rating should be, Blinky - 6 Inf1r3 - 5
Stances were really used well, harassment on each part was executed well. A lot of flanking on Gob's side and both players micro were great. A lot of back and forth action, early game strategies were used really well, only thing both failed to do was just to get other units earlier, such as stables or spider pits for cav. Would have changed the game but for the most part this game was great. Unit mixing for goblins in this mu would have helped a lot.
Review is good though just the ratings. Also ROTW Contender really.

well this was a good game, no offense but i dont think it was a great game. had either 1 of you gone cavalry earlier the game could have been wrapped up imo with just mass soldier spam on each side. INFIR3's strat is a really good early/mid strat for keeping the opponents econ in check but 30+ mins into the game you gotta get something besides non up'd gob warriors...
blinky you should have gone knights instead of rangers when you did, knights kill goblins just as well as rangers, but they are faster and so can defend better plus can help harass too, tbh in the choice of rangers/knights mid game rangers make you defensive whereas knights give you versatility in most cases. just get a well and keep healing them tbh. and upgrades>aragorn in this case as goblin warriors counter aragorn, and thats all he was building essentially.
the action was good... but tbh unit mixing a little better would have really helped out both sides.
Cant understand why all bfme replays gets rated 4-5. And very good replays 7? Well this was an entertaining match. Kinda boring just watching Goblin spam though.... But damn.. In the end Men had over 140 PP and Goblins just over 60. And they both did harassing and stuff. But wow... thats an insane difference! PP xp balance anyone?
