Frustating game

Postby Flynn » 28 Mar 2013, 14:01

I really don't get this. I should have won this game. I just felt like I couldn't make that final push. I couldn't make the final push and I don't know why! It is about 20 minutes of back and forth where I just couldn't seem to get enough units in one go to finish his base. Every now and then I have a game like this one which is the ultimate frustration. My opponent is good and I have never beaten him 1v1 before. I have come close in 1 other game like this but I have never been able to beat him and the trouble is he doesn't give up either.

without watching your replay ... (not at home at the moment)
It sounds like you give him a lot of reclaimables on his side of the map due to your attempts of pushing into his base... do you considered this?

Yeah a bit maybe. I've just realised that there is also a subtle reason for my lack of ability to push. I am used to Aeon's stronger ACU and higher DPS of the Auroras but as Cybran I do not have that firepower which is why I cannot finish his ACU with my com + a few units.

I have analysed the replay. It appears at the 15 minute mark I should have been able to go on a final push, but my com is too damaged from earlier engagements. He is also persistant in destroying the engineers that I keep sending to build the middle radar. At one point he is down to 4 mexes whilst I am on 9, I should have been able to overrun him.
