I split up my units to push on two sides and hopefully get into his base and do some damage...it was on purpose....i closed the button with walls to prevent small raiding groups....

i felt somehow strong enough to keep his acu and mantis away, but that das definetly wrong....in last consequence next time i would back of, tech up build some t2/t1 pd combo and force him out of his nest

but my point is still...it is hard to rush cybran just with t1 units...and i think i did a lot more better then he did, like raiding, reclaim, gaining mapcontrol etc...

yeah at the start you can nicely see why mantis are so awesome now, owns 3 mechmarines

at min 7:16, you waste all your units
then you have your ACU massivly out of position = much hp lost and you was all your units again

Basically you mis-managed your units. You broke into smaller groups and marched them in, in lower quantities than he had defending + his ACU was upgraded with gun. You wasted most of your units feeding into his denfence them fully exposed your comm to his mass of units....it was gg from there on as your comm didn't have the back up to stop the kill.

Cut to thew replay around 11 min 30 sec. You have approx 80 units on the field, he has approx. 60. This was the turning point. If you had backed off, re-grouped, defended terratory won or pushed on his left side I think he game ending would've been very different.

Mantis and Gun ACU

2013-04-01T14:38:52+02:00

Hi Guys,

I just lost a game ...and I'm angry with myself cuz IMO i controlled the game until he got his gun upgrade...I dont know exactly what I did wrong. Maybe you can help me out.

When I watched the replay the only mistake I could find was, that I rushed in too early and fed the acu with too much t1 units. But is that the only mistake? IMO it's quite impossible to rush cybran without teching if the opponent has a bunch of manits and the gun.

Thx guys...
