Replay where opponent didn't bother to expand

Postby Flynn » 01 Mar 2013, 18:01

Now, don't get me wrong, this is a replay where I lose (as usual) but what I don't get is how I lose because statistically speaking I should have been able to overwhelm him as he didn't have 1 expansion towards the end of the game yet he still beat me. The major turning points are 1. Where he rushes me with LABs before my LABs have even moved out 2. when he goes air and 3. when he upgrades his com with the Zephr Accelerator. Yet this bozo doesn't even have any expansions the whole game though he beats me :x I have spoken to this guy in chat and he does seem to be quite a douche so maybe he was just doing it to show off. But I wanted to be able to take advantage of his arrogance but couldn't :| Edit: Game time is 15 minutes but when he gets builds the gun it is over so you can stop watching then. Edit 2: I also followed Zock's suggestion of building just Auroras for the first 5 minutes (well, whole game actually) which certainly seemed to allow me to combat him for longer.

Ok, your biggest mistakes IMO were:
1. Not reclaiming, he leaved you tons of mass on your base, you should have used it.
2. A bit poor micro, many times you were just standing still with your auroras. Giving that he started bombing you it's quite a big mistake.
3. Not using air advantage, you could have built bombers or get some ghetto gunships since he lost air.
4. Probably too much ecoing, not everybody can use this strategy effectivly. And it's pretty much useless since you could get eco advantage by reclaiming all mass on your doorstep.
Also his raiding in the beginning was quite effective.
And i am pretty sure that if you have used your cam more agressively, it would have been a different game.
