Axidair spawns left side. Ash spawns right side.

Axidair goes extractor trick, 15 pool, 15 gas, 15 hatch. He makes a queen and 4 lings as soon as the pool finishes, and takes possession of the Xel’Naga tower. Despite the early gas, he waits until the 5th minute before he starts ling speed, which may spell his doom.

Ash goes 9 overlord, 14 gas, 14 pool. This tells me that he will go speedling expand. Not removing his drones from gas tells me he’ll go banelings too. Ash makes 18 lings and takes an expansion as he moves out a few seconds before his ling speed finishes.

At 5:15, Axidair sees Ash’s speedlings and it’s pretty much over for him. He tries to block off his ramp with his natural base queen, but gets overwhelmed. He loses his second queen and a handful of drones and his ling speed won’t finish until around 6:50. A baneling detonates on Axidair’s drones and the lings stream in continuously.

GG. Ash wins.

What Axidair could have done better:

Timing. Axidair went 15gas, had 100 gas for ling speed at around the 4th minute, but did not start the upgrade until the 5th minute. Had Axidair had speedlings 1 minute earlier, he might have just been able to defend better with micro.
Scout. He scouted with his 13th drone, but failed to see what Ash had in his main base. He sent his overlord behind Ash’s natural base. If only Axidair peaked at the drone when it arrived at Ash’s main, and clicked on the gas, he’d know he’s up against early speedlings.
Defend. A single queen will not wall off a ramp. The second queen should have been there too. That would have prevented Ash’s lings from running up towards Axidair’s main. This would be a tradeoff: block the ramp with 2 queens, your main is safe but your natural is doomed. Defend the natural with your queens, you risk losing the queens and your main. A spine crawler on the main base mineral line could have helped as well.

What Ash did well:
Scout and react. Ash sent his overlord over Axidair’s base and constantly checked on it. Despite not being able to see Axidair’s single extractor, Ash moved his overlord towards the Axidair’s natural base and saw the natural hatchery at around 75%, and realizes he has a build order advantage and could win by just streaming speedlings in.

Ash spawns at the 11 o’clock position, while Axidair spawns at 5 o’clock.

Axidair correctly sends his overlord towards the 11 o’clock position. Ash may have forgotten that the WCS and the ladder versions of Antiga Shipyard no longer allow close position spawns. This mistake may have cost him precious scouting time. Nonetheless, Ash moves his first overlord towards Axidair’s natural base.

Axidair again goes extractor trick into 15 pool, 15 hatch. He sees Ash’s creep at the 11 o’clock position and maneuvers his overlord towards the natural base, where he sees the hatchery at around 80% done.

Axidair starts his extractor at around the 4th minute and gets his first 100 gas by 5:20 and again forgets to start ling speed on time. However, likely having learned from the previous game, he now makes a baneling nest.

Ash opts to open more economically this time by going 15 hatch, 15 pool, 17 gas to baneling nest. He makes 4 lings to scout Axidair’s base and sees the natural base and the baneling nest.

Ash makes 20 lings while taking his lair earlier slightly earlier than Axidair. The lings run towards Axidair’s base and Ash makes a macro hatch behind this.

Axidair appears to be in trouble as he has nothing to defend with except a couple of queens and a spine crawler. He’s even down in drones (33 to Ash’s 40). Ash pressures Axidair’s natural, killing a queen and 8 drones and forcing a cancel on Axidair’s 3rd base. Ash starts his spire.

Ash rests his lings in front of Axidair’s natural and takes his own 3rd base and pumps drones. He returns to Axidair’s base but is now greeted by lots of lings and a few banelings.

Ash loses his lings to the 4 banelings but is clearly ahead with his 3rd base finishing earlier and a spire that’s almost 90% done. Ash makes 12 mutalisks and uses the rest of his available larva for drones for his 3rd base.

Axidair moves his meager ling-bling force to the Xel’naga tower and catches a good number of Ash’s lings. Ash’s overlords see the ling-bling force and realizes he’s ahead and moves out with his mutalisks. Axidair, seeing the mutalisks, runs his ling-bling force towards Ash’s natural, and makes a spore crawler on each of his main and natural bases. The spores easily fall to the mutalisks, unfortunately.

The mutalisks kill off Axidair’s drones at the main base, while the lings defend back at his natural. Just like that, Ash is 60 supply ahead and the game is as good as over.

GG. Ash wins the series.

What Ash did well:
Over-all decision-making. He took the time to pump drones or tech up while pressuring his opponent. He took his lair while making 20 lings. He moved out with those lings while taking a macro hatch and then a 3rd base. He made a spire while pressuring his opponent. And he made drones while he waited for his mutalisks to finish. These decisions allowed him to really get ahead of his opponent.

Ash was clearly the better player in this series.

Jimbo spawns at the 11 o’clock position while Grayfox is at the 5 o’clock position.

Jimbo surprisingly builds a pylon at 7 supply, then goes 9 gateway then 13 gas. Weird build, but I hope he has a plan with this.

Grayfox goes standard 9 pylon 13 gateway with a double gas by 17 supply. Looks similar to Liquid’Hero’s 1 base build. But he fails to make the cybercore once the gateway finishes. Grayfox’s mistiming allows Jimbo to get an earlier cybercore and thus, an earlier warpgate upgrade.

Grayfox has 100% energy on his nexus and misses opportunities to chrono his warpgate upgrade. He starts his robo and gets twilight council shortly.

Jimbo doesn’t get any tech, and simply gets a 2nd gateway, a forge and takes the 1 o’clock base, and a 3rd gateway shortly.

Grayfox finally uses his chronos to get a 4 stalkers out quick and used a chrono once on the nexus. He also gets blink, then takes the 7 o’clock base. His small stalker/zealot force moves out towards Jimbo’s ramp and places a proxy pylon for warp-ins. The blink upgrade is more than halfway through.

Grayfox pushes up the ramp, loses a couple of zealots and a stalker. Jimbo throws a couple of forcefields and loses only 1 zealot. Grayfox pulls back, not wanting any more of his forces to get caught by the forcefields. Grayfox pokes one last time, but pulls back again because he’s clearly outgunned. He doesn’t use his blink even once.

Jimbo kills the proxy pylon and is now ahead in probe count, 31 to 25.

Grayfox starts his Dark Shrine while Jimbo starts his Robo. Grayfox warps in 4 DTs. Fortunately for Jimbo, he sees the DTs move into his base and his observer finishing shortly. The DTs focus on the nexus, but only manages to kill its shields and around 50% hull damage. Grayfox is now behind 30 supply.

Jimbo wisely places cannons on his ramp to prevent future DT run-bys.

Grayfox goes triple forge to upgrade +1 ground weapons, armor and shield all at the same time. He also starts charge upgrade for zealots and a warp prism which he will bring towards the back of Jimbo’s weakened 2nd nexus. He also starts his 3rd base at 8 o’clock position.

Jimbo luckily has made 1 cannon near his damaged nexus and starts his 3rd at the 10 o’clock position.

Grayfox adds 4 more gateways and his warp prism barely misses the cannon and manages to warp in 9 zealots that finally take down Jimbo’s damaged nexus. Not a very big victory though, as he lost all 9 zealots and is now down 55 supply and 13 probes behind in economy.

Jimbo moves ahead in tech, making a colossus, immortals and void rays while Grayfox has 13 stalkers and 5 archons. Grayfox is ahead in upgrades (+2/2/2 vs Jimbo’s +1/1/0).

22 minutes, Jimbo moves his stalker/immortal/sentry force out towards Grayfox’s 3rd base at the 8 o’clock position but only manages to kill a couple of cannons. Jimbo pulls back but runs into Grayfox’s 16 stalkers and 10 archons. Jimbo gets decimated and Grayfox almost pulls equal in supply.

Grayfox pushes towards Jimbo’s base at the 10 o’clock position. Jimbo has a handful of cannons and positions his voidrays to defend and reinforce. Grayfox does manage to kill off the 10 o’clock nexus but he is still down 30 supply.

Grayfox takes a 5th base while Jimbo rebuilds his 3rd. Grayfox is now at +3/3/3 ground compared to Jimbo’s +1/1/1. Grayfox makes more archons, while Jimbo makes more Void Rays. Jimbo fails to relocate his idle probes from the main base to another mining base.

Grayfox warps in a round of stalkers and pulls almost even in supply with Jimbo.

Jimbo pokes in with a small force and sees Grayfox’s 5th base. Jimbo pulls back and warps in a round of stalkers to max out. Grayfox warps in a number of zealots on Jimbo’s 2 o’clock base to destroy it and also kills 20 probes in the process. He loses only 1 zealot to Jimbo’s void rays then pulls back.

Grayfox wisely moves his stalker/archon force towards Jimbo’s 10 o’clock base, destroys the nexus and kills all 25 probes. Jimbo does not make any attempt to defend the 10 o’clock base. Grayfox sends his zealots towards Jimbo’s ramp and destroys all the cannons. Jimbo does not remake the 10 and 2 o’clock bases even though he has more than enough minerals to do so.

With no mining bases, Jimbo pokes towards Grayfox’s 8 o’clock base and sees the archons. Jimbo pulls back and pokes the 5th base and sees a lot of cannons. He pulls back towards the middle of the map but finally runs into Grayfox’s deathball.

Grayfox’s upgrade advantage and unit composition is just better than Jimbo’s stalker/void ray. Jimbo loses 100 supply in a mere 21 seconds.

GG. Grayfox wins.

What Jimbo could have done better:
Upgrades. Despite being up in supply and economy for a good part of the game, Jimbo couldn’t match Grayfox upgrade-wise.
Unit Composition. Voidrays do not do well against Archons simply because Archons are not considered “armored” units, thus, the “+4 vs Armored” damage bonus will not kick in. However, Voidrays do 20% bonus damage to massive units, which an Archon is, but this only translates to an additional 2 damage, not much help.

What Grayfox did well:
Upgrades. Going triple forge helped him a lot despite being down in supply for most of the game.
Unit Composition. His early game composition of BlinkStalker/Zealot didn’t work well against Jimbo’s Stalker/Sentry to the point that using the blink may have actually worked against Grayfox. His transition to Archon really worked wonders going to the late game.
Expand. It’s a no brainer actually. No player could survive the midgame if he does not expand constantly. Tier 3 units need copious amounts of gas, and 6 geysers just isn’t enough.

So how do you beat Grayfox’s Stalker/Archon? To start, you have to be even in upgrades because Archons do 34 damage and Stalkers do 13 at +3 attack upgrades. Void ray is not a good choice against Stalker/Archon because it only does 11 damage at Stage 2 and +3 air attack upgrade. Do note that Void Rays will require the air attack upgrade which is an extra investment on top of the ground attack upgrade. Including the stalkers, a better choice would be a combination of Immortals and Colossi, because:

Immortals do 26 damage at +3 upgrades, and does +39 bonus damage against stalkers (because stalkers are considered “Armored”. Also, the Immortal’s 100-point Hardened Shield reduces all damage (greater than 10) inflicted on the shields is reduced to 10. Both the Stalker’s 17 damage (including +4 vs Armored bonus) and the archon’s 34 damage is reduced to 10 until the Immortal’s shield is broken. Also, Grayfox does not have Zealots which work well against Immortals.

Colossi do 42 damage, and with 9 range, they will do damage to the Archons from distance, and could hit multiple Archons if clumped.

But of course, it’s not enough to just 1-A this Stalker/Immortal/Colossus/Mothership composition against the Stalker/Archon ball. I would have the Immortals in front, followed by the Stalkers, then the Colossi. The Mothership throws a vortex to reduce the Grayfox’s unit count actively engaging. A good concave will help greatly. Another way to engage is to have the Mothership go to the opponent’s main base, then recall all the units. When Grayfox turns back to defend, throw a vortex on the units to reduce the enemy unit count.

Jimbo made 22 Void Rays in total, investing 5500 minerals, 3300 gas, add to that the 100/100 for the +1 air attack upgrade and the 450/450 for the 3 Stargates. These resources could have gone to:

1 Mothership = 400 minerals, 400 gas (Jimbo already had made a Fleet Beacon at the 30 minute mark)
10 Immortals = 2500 minerals, 1000 gas
9 Colossi = 2700 minerals, 2200 gas (and Extended Thermal Lance upgrade 200 minerals and 200 gas)
And 2 more Robotics Facilities at (200 minerals and 100 gas each) for faster production

Total cost: 6050/3850 (for mass Void Rays) vs 6200/4000 (for Immortal/Colossus/Mothership)

You may ask, “But what about the supply?” It’s covered. At 31 minutes, Jimbo had 20 void rays and was at 162/200 supply. Remove the 60 void ray supply, that gives us 102 supply. Add back 9 immortals (he already had 1 immortal), that gives 138 supply, then 54 supply goes to Colossi, and the last 8 goes to the Mothership and you’re maxed out.

Also, “Would Jimbo have had the time to make all those units?” I think yes, if he had 4 robotics facilities, he might have pulled it off.

Jimbo spawns bottom left while Grayfox spawns top right.

Both players open similarly as the last game. Now it’s clear to me that Grayfox is saving his chrono energy to get stalkers out quickly, purposely not boosting his warpgate upgrade or getting faster probes.

Grayfox pushes out with his 5 stalkers and 2 zealots. Jimbo only has 2 zealots and a stalker and a sentry. Grayfox could win this game this early.

Grayfox destroys Jimbo’s units and appears to have already won. But he doesn’t go up the ramp before Jimbo starts a cannon and a robo.

Grayfox starts his natural base, and runs up Jimbo’s ramp anyway, focusing on the cannon first, then the sentry, then everything else. Grayfox micros his stalkers nicely, focusing on units, bringing the weak ones behind the ones with full health.

Grayfox manages to destroy Jimbo’s cybercore but pulls back even though he is still up 7 stalkers to Jimbo’s 3 stalkers and 1 zealot. Grayfox could have already ended this game if he didn’t pull back. Grayfox pokes up again, and destroys a pylon then retreats back to his proxied pylon.

Grayfox goes triple forge and Twilight council while Jimbo rebuilds his cybercore then makes a couple of Immortals and makes a stargate for void rays. Jimbo also gets a robotics bay for Collosi.

Grayfox secures a third after poking and confirming that Jimbo has not even started his natural base.

19th minute, Jimbo’s main is mined out and he’s 40 supply behind. Jimbo’s observer sees Grayfox’s zealot/stalker/archon force but builds his natural nexus anyway.

Grayfox sacrifices a zealot but doesn’t realize how much stronger his force is compared to Jimbo’s, in addition to how much ahead he is. He could have ended the game now.

Grayfox pulls back and secures a 4th base while he is 70 supply ahead. Grayfox also moves a warp prism at the back of Jimbo’s main and warps in 12 zealots. He initially focuses on the nexus but refocuses on the stargate.

The initial 12 zealots manage to destroy the stargate. Grayfox decides to warp in 12 zealots more and focus on the Colossus. The Colossus miraculously survives with 2 HP. This could have been a good time for Jimbo to start his 3rd base.

Not a good tradeoff for Grayfox, losing 24 zealots and a warp prism (2600 minerals) for 1 stargate (150 minerals and 150 gas). Grayfox is still up 60 supply and has 3 mining bases compared to Jimbo’s 1 (his natural base).

Grayfox maxes out on a zealot/archon/stalker force and takes the top left base while moving out. Jimbo sees this fearsome force, but makes his 3rd base anyway. Luckily for Jimbo, Grayfox falls back.

Nothing happens between the 30th and the 33rd minute until Grayfox decides to poke into the third. Jimbo’s force melts away, Grayfox pulls back for a short time to warp in a round of stalkers before finally pushing into Jimbo’s natural base.

GG. Grayfox wins the series.

There’s nothing in particular that we need to highlight in this 2nd game. Both players played similarly on both games. But let’s talk about one aspect of game sense, which is knowing when you are behind, knowing when you are ahead, and most especially, knowing when you are ahead enough to overwhelm your enemy with what you currently have.

Most of us may have heard Artosis’ favorite saying: “When you are ahead, get even more ahead”. Grayfox did a lot of this in both his games against Jimbo, for example, when he pulls back to warp in a round of units before hitting again.

But actually, Grayfox could have ended it at the 10th minute. Or at the 21st minute. Or at the 30th minute.

Game sense is far easier now compared to Brood War. In StarCraft 2, all you need to look at is the in-game clock. You just have to have some mental cues to gauge how ahead or behind you are.

As a Zerg, here are some of my own mental cues in any match up:
- If I don’t have my 3rd base by the 9th minute, I’m behind. Conversely, if my opponent doesn’t have a 3rd base by the 9th minute, and I do, then I’m ahead, but he may be gearing up for a 2-base all-in, so I have to sacrifice an overseer to check.
- If I don’t start Hive by 16 minutes, I’m behind.
- If I don’t have +3/3 upgrades by 18 minutes, I’m screwed.
- I just mined out my main base, this would also mean that my opponent has mined out his main, and should have at least 3 bases and possibly making a 4th.

So you just have to figure out things that work for you.

Naoki spawns top-left, Coleman spawns bottom-right.

Naoki opens 8 depot, then goes double barracks over the top of the ramp, and takes a very early gas. Looks cheesy, but he does not cheese at all. Naoki fails to get his Orbital Command after the barracks finishes.

Coleman gets his depot at the standard 9 supply timing, followed by gas-before-barracks at 12. Neither player sends their first SCV to scout the other base. Coleman takes his 2nd gas (which he failed to put additional SCVs on) just before his barracks finishes, then upgrades his CC to an Orbital Command. He sends his SCV to Naoki’s base and sees the double barracks wall.

Coleman spends his first 100 gas for a factory, but does not make a techlab or reactor on his first barracks. He does however goes for a techlab once his factory finishes.

Though late, Naoki goes factory followed by his 2nd gas (which he, like Coleman, failed to put additional SCVs on). He proceeds to build a Starport, then a techlab on the factory as soon as it finishes. At 5:40, Naoki finally starts his Orbital Command.

Naoki gets supply blocked and his first Banshee gets delayed, but opts to make his 2nd command center where the 4th base would normally go. He makes a 2nd starport.

Coleman goes Marine-Tank and scans over Naoki’s base to reveal a starport and a factory with a techlab each. Sensing his advantage, Coleman brings his Marine-Tank force towards Naoki’s natural. Naoki’s marines are no match to Coleman’s sieged tanks.

GG Coleman wins.

What Naoki could have done better:
Scout. He never left his base. He could have at least taken the Xel’Naga Towers to see when his opponent was pushing to attack.
Build. There’s nothing wrong with going double barracks. But that just left me confused when he did not proxy them. Double proxy rax could have caught Coleman off guard. Then Naoki went double starport with techlabs to go banshees. Also nothing wrong, but it was terribly late that it was already impossible for him to do any damage. Add to that being supply blocked, his first banshee came out so late.

I played a small practice game vs AI, and I was able to start my first banshee at 5:56 by doing a standard 1-1-1 (6:03 when I went Factory-Expand). By comparison, Naoki was just halfway into his first starport by the 6th minute. He started his first banshee at 6:50, but it didn’t actually start training until around 7:30 because of the supply block.

Naoki would do well to study what Coleman did on this game.

What Coleman did well:
Build. Both players’ APMs were similar for the most part, but Coleman was more effective because he had a more refined build. He was spot on with his timings and made the next building as soon as the requisite building was done.

What Coleman could have done better:
Expand. Though Coleman started his natural command center at around the 9:30 mark, I would have liked to have seen him take his natural expansion earlier (around the 7:00 mark), when he moved out with his Marine-Tank force.

Naoki spawns top-right, Coleman spawns bottom-left.

Both players go 9-supply, and the similarity ends there. Coleman goes gas first while Naoki goes Barracks at 11. Neither player sends their first SCV to scout.

Naoki again goes for the early 2-rax, but with how late it is (and the fact that it is not proxied), tells me that he will not use this to pressure.

Coleman uses his gas to go techlab to make reapers. Weirdly, Naoki brings an SCV towards the 5 o’clock expansion. Will he make his 2nd CC there?

Coleman makes his 2nd CC in-base as he makes a factory, followed by a starport and his 2nd and 3rd barracks. Coleman loses his 3 reapers, killing only 3 SCVs, but gains valuable scouting information. Naoki again has a starport and a factory with a techlab each. And again he gets supply blocked delaying his first Banshee.

In response, Coleman makes a couple of Vikings, a Raven and 5 turrets all over his base. Naoki builds a 2nd Starport and a hidden CC at the bottom right expansion. He continues making Starports even as Coleman’s Vikings pester the Banshees. 13 minutes into the game, Naoki hasn’t seen Coleman’s base, or even spent a scan to see what Coleman has.

Coleman confidently moves his 2nd CC towards the natural and builds his 3rd base. Supply-wise, Coleman is only slightly ahead, 99 to 90. But Coleman is way ahead in tech: +1 infantry weapons and armor, +1 vehicle weapons along with stim and marine shields.

Coleman pushes out of his base with his Marine/Tank/Viking/Raven force, and easily makes short work of Naoki’s forces.

Unbelievably, Coleman retreats from Naoki’s base. He scans all over the map, sensing a hidden base, but fails to scan the bottom right base. Coleman repositions his forces near Naoki’s natural, still oblivious to the hidden base. Coleman drops autoturrets over Naoki’s main CC, losing 19 SCVs. Naoki’s CC floats off towards the top left base, which Coleman fails to notice. Naoki makes another CC at the 6 o’clock base.

Coleman goes Battlecruisers, even building a Nuke, but he gets caught with his pants down when Naoki’s 130+ Marines obliterate his 4 bases along with his Battlecruisers. Coleman saves a few SCVs and proceeds to clean up the bottom right base which he has finally found.

Both players rebuild: Coleman at the 12 o’clock base, Naoki at the 10 o’clock. Naoki takes more bases, but Coleman cleans them up eventually.

Naoki is stuck at the 6 o’clock base and has only been making Marines. Coleman pushes towards Naoki’s final base and his bottlenecked marines melt under tank fire.

GG Coleman wins the series.
What Naoki did well:
Never give up. I have to give it to Naoki. He just did not give up. He luckily had the hidden base and, along with Coleman’s mental lapse, allowed Naoki to mass up and almost win. He still had the frame of mind to get his upgrades. He expanded and expanded and this made life difficult for Coleman, even complimenting him “Damn, you are sneaky lol”.

What Naoki could have done better:
Tech up. He should have taken a cue from what Coleman had. If only Naoki had a few tanks to complement his Marine force, he might have just won.
Decision-making. Naoki had 130+ marines with +3/2 upgrades and stim. Despite Coleman’s +2/0 tanks, I believe that if he just did some positional adjustments and key decisions, he could have won:
- 36th minute – Naoki found Coleman’s 12 o’clock base. Naoki could have split his forces to stim from all 3 sides (Naoki lost 27 marines to tank fire).
- 49th minute – Despite having lost a huge number of marines at his 10 o’clock base, Naoki had an attack force of around 43 marines from his 6 o’clock base which he sent to Coleman’s base. If Naoki just held his ground to the right of Coleman’s starport, he would have been safe from the tank fire, and could have destroyed a few more buildings. After which could have safely pulled back.
- 55th minute – Naoki tried to defend his last base from Coleman’s strike force of 36 marines and 6 tanks. He shouldn’t have engaged because of how cluttered his base is. The way Naoki’s barracks were positioned did not give his marines proper positioning and therefore were bottlenecked, allowing Coleman’s tanks to melt them away. Naoki should have been patient, lifted his buildings towards another base. If Coleman engages, Naoki should have just made a concave to box Coleman in. But then again, by this time, it wouldn’t have mattered much because Coleman had 3 bases and the siege tank advantage may have been too great.

What Coleman did well:
Scout and react. Using a single scan, Coleman saw Naoki doing the same build as in the Ohana game. Seeing that Naoki had a couple of starports, Coleman made a Viking and a Raven to defend against the Banshees.
Transition. This is where many players below the Diamond level have difficulty in (I also suffer from it at times). It’s transitioning from the early game to the mid game, and again towards the late game. Coleman did well to go from Reaper opening to Marine/Tank to Battlecruiser (“for the lul”) while beefing up his Tier 1 units with armor, attack, stim and shield upgrades. Even though Coleman lost his Battlecruisers, he made sure he had tanks which did all the damage to Naoki’s 130+ strong marine force. Coleman would have definitely lost this game if he didn’t have tanks.

What Coleman could have done better:
Scout and react. He had good game sense in that he was able to realize that Naoki had a hidden base somewhere. But the game dragged on and at times looked to have lost it when his bases came under attack. None of this could have happened if Coleman simply sent 1 marine to every base. He didn’t have to spend a scan to find Naoki. He also dropped turrets on Naoki’s main but failed to see if the Command Center got destroyed or if it lifted off.
Push in. If I were casting this live, I would have been screaming for Coleman to finish the main base. Coleman had Naoki’s main base in his clutches and why he had to pull back instead of destroying the main base just baffles me. By not destroying the main when he should have, Coleman left 9 SCVs mining minerals, 6 SCVs mining gas, 12 depots (13 if you count the supply calldown on one of them), and 2 engineering bays which allowed Naoki to go +3/2 marine upgrades.
Decision-making. Again, if Coleman just had sent 1 marine to every base on the map, Naoki wouldn’t have been able to drag this game to 58 minutes. And again, he should have finished off Naoki’s main base earlier. Also, he needlessly lost his 4 battlecruisers to Naoki’s marines. He should have just gone around the map with the battlecruisers because they wouldn’t have any chance against 130+ marines.
