skrilla beings this match off with an aggressive 'proxy Pylon' with the intent of bringing his Zealot production close and personal. Through an early and drawn out skirmish, Nova begins to take the upper hand with neither player setting up an expansion a healthy amount of time into the game. Finally, things begin to take shape as the battle grows and proceeds and by the end we find out that a Pylon started everything and a different one ended it. Check out these Pylons now!
Great game there, btw, I really apreciate you taking the time to explain basics and terms to those of us that never played more than a few hours of SC1.
I'd say it would be worth keeping an eye on resource usage...Blue was floating heavily near the start considering he was going for a proxy. Also try and commentate more on the tech choices.
But honestly these are just small criticisms because I think you did a fantastic job especially considering how short this beta has been out and the fact it is a beta.
The Blue toss was stupied tbh. He should not have lost that, ever!!
First of you cant cashfloat if you 2 gate proxy. Second if he want to go for the kill he should have brought 2 probes, that way the opponent have to micro and cant attack move.
At the end of that battle, he had what....5 zeals vs 0 and he gets them all killed by attacking a building cannon and not the cannon thats up.
He should have stayed out of range, taken down the gateways so that red could not just build a pylon to support them.
Second, he had bigger army most of early game, but was so chicken to attack. Red did a good job going hit and runs, until he had bigger army and just whiped him.
Also if you 2 gate proxy and cash float 2k.......jeez, he should have teched or expanded so he was ahead when it failed. Now that he did not he should have smashed up gateways, expanded or teched with those money. He did something in between that did not put him ahead.
Red did a good job but he also should have used the probes when he was rushed like that.
Pardon the sirens in the background!
