i strongly believe that not playing as a barcode is honourable enough. i also believe that building more bases is a normal move and there's nothing about it that would stain your honour. anyway, huge respect!! :)
I haven't played SC2 for something like 10 years, not since the second year that WoL was out, I watch a lot of SC content but don't know some of the intricacies, can you build stalkers with an unpowe red core or did printf repower it before building more stalkers? Pretty sure it's unpowered based on minimap but I just can't see that being the case, I mean can you build dark templars with an unpowered dark shrine because I'm fairly sure I've seen opponents leave those alive after killing pylons occasionally when you need your army elsewhere.
Hot take: printf actually benefits from not playing on a barcode. He knows how people try to hard counter him and has played against it a bunch of times, his opponent has likely only played against printf a few times.
@@Pehz63 Not about dumb openers, just the fact that printf probably plays against hard counters 1000x times over, and the other player probably never plays their own hard counter ever (except against printf). Note that you can detect a cannon rush by the 50 second mark usually, 1:20-1:30 at latest. So trying to "hard counter" cannon rush beyond just your standard response to cannon rush, would imply changing what you do in the first 45 seconds of the game. That would put them in a build that they basically never play, even if they're GM.
This game is actually a perfect case in point, msrm blind opened double-gas roach warren, and then ended up collecting too much gas later on when he should've moved some of those probes back onto minerals. msrm likely never opens double-gas in any situation in any of his games, ever (except against printf or other known non-barcode cannon rushers on the ladder)
For which purpose other than delaying the attack and allowing more defenses at the base? It is the correct call to just bypass the semi contain and rush the attack on the base.
PrintF is almost reaching a Has level of skill. That early game stalker micro was very nice. There's just something special about calling your shot before you take it. PrintF does it every single game, and then just tries to out execute you.
@@luckutyzzz It means setting your name to IIIIIIIIII so your opponent doesn't know who they're facing. That way, people like msrm wouldn't know it's printf (wouldn't know they are getting cannon rushed)
When doing a contain like this it is very all in, the gamestate itself determines when you will put down a nexus, I think around 7 minutes is ideal maybe sooner if you feel really safe, but upwards of 9 minutes is not uncommon, one thing I will do is around that time if I can't afford the nexus I will begin to long distance mine with the oversaturated probes. The idea of the contain is obviously to keep the units from moving out, putting the cannons closer to the ramp makes it harder for the enemy to do that, but positioning of the cannons is absolutely critical and it is usually not allowed to put them much closer than shown here due to siege units and ramps.
I just see the standoff and I'm like... if you're already trading in shots... use the bile to snipe the pylon powering half that forward base... it's getting replaced fast but also stopps production for a bit
That's right. That's his motto, AFAIK. Hence, no 2nd nexus. Once, I saw him take a 3rd gas (using 6 probes), which was pretty entertaining and creative. Still no 2nd Nexus, so stayed true to himself. 😊
At best it would delay the Stalker production while sacrificing at least 3 Ravagers, that could mean instant defeat. So the risk is too high if you don't know if there is a prism out already and if you don't know if that is actually the only pylon. The Zerg actually cannot see, check the view range of the players with their units around the ramp a few moments later.
i dont get it either. Why no secret lings and maybe burrow. U can clearly see Print hadnt vision of the highground of a Obs. Lings could tank or lock the Stalkers and the Ravager could do the rest.
That was the most, Stupid, game I've ever seen in my life. It's like if i took the red pill, then blue, then green, then blue. Never thought Humans could be capable of a feat like this especially when they know the hard counter. HAHA peace and love harstem
kevin you would not perform "offensive shield battery" when I asked and now another has stolen your rightful place in beating grandmasters with stupid stuff
Very Low Energy Title Editor, You NEED To Capitalize Every Word Like This And Have At LEAST 2 Words In All Capital Letters, So That The Young Sea Creatures Keep Reading.
Last time I commented I always root against printf, has, and florencio. I realized that's not always true and also I didn't have a coherent position because I also enjoy creative play and cheesey builds. But I dunno I still root against the dedicated aggressionors especially when it feels like a smurf and/or it's protoss (just because protoss cheese strikes me as less creative/unusual than terran and especially zerg). Yet I usually root for Has when he plays better pro players and enjoy the cheesiest man alive series. Am I just a hypocrite? Maybe
He randomly decided to turtle until he lost defender's advantage and tech advantage due to the cannons and disruptors respectively. If he kept attacking the Protoss mineral line like he was, then very soon Protoss would've ran out of minerals to keep buying more stalkers. Even with the bad Zerg micro, having over twice as many workers is all you need to eventually overwhelm the stalkers and kill the Nexus. And Zerg's home base was always fine because if stalkers tried to base trade there was a stream of roaches coming from the Zerg base to defend.
