The problem is, this works only when your alone with your opponent. But as all players go heavy eco they have realy nothing on the start of a setons game.
Show ?
mex before factory is 100% for style
Not really. If you wanna go eco, it helps you get a t2 mex faster, a few seconds but from experience it can matter for the eco whoring
[quote]I think it is not good to ignore the hydro. My first two engeniers are going to it after they build 1 or 2 mex.
And the acu don't need to build a mex when you are using the stones. So you can have a transporter in under 3min. It's very important to capture the island as fast as you can./quote]
I agree with the hydro part unless you wanna go super fast island. In that case you're better off with the pgens around the facs. There's really no ideal build for this position. It really depends on what you wanna do and your opponentS. I use plural cause it depends on :
- the beach opponent , if he's likely (and good) to try and steal the island. Some rock layers go for island around 5 min, yet they are VERY good
- the middle players : if you know you're gonna have a much better mass boost from your beach opponent, you're much better off delaying your island taking to invest into more early eco, much better ! In the meantime, considering the cheap cost of a bomber, you can still deny your beach opponent the island.
I completely disagree on it's very important to capture the island as fast as you can. I LOVE to play against mega island rush (the one TA posted already on Youtube). I usually don't even bother to stop him. It's very simple to counter such an costly investment (because of it begin super early) in terms of eco. You just need to relax and think of the investment for such an attempt. Then you realize you're way fine. To hold off a island long enough so that the INVESTMENT (cost + time , early game + delay in your own production) and the costs to defend it , is pretty hard any good player. I've only seen a handful of players capable of that.
I still think Dim14 was the best seton's player overall, but his builds got upgraded to improved versions. I saw better builds from scratch from other players not based from his builds. What made him really strong was his ability to have a clear picture of the game and what needs to be done and when. not his builds, although his are ofc a good start for beginners.
Btw Emptyless, what's your playing name ?
I stopped the replay there cause it was seriously too ridiculous.
