Strategies for the ladder map Hard FFA

[Voodoo]

The map Hard FFA is realy different from other ladder maps. You need strange build orders and tactics to win a game. I created this thread to talk about the map and find out good strategies. Feel free to post replays here.

Walking a bit and building a torpedo launcher and a AA turret is very effective if the uef player upgrades right away as demonstrated by UK_Cryro.

I'm going to bump this just because I don't think that it's as bad as the pros say. I think that if you consider retreating an option then there are many things that can be done. It's so ingrained in the top players that they can't consider any sort of retreat viable, and so a forced attack of build factory > reclaim factory > chase enemy ACU is the only thing considered. None of these actions are forced, and all of these actions are open to creative play.

I might be completely wrong, but in my experience on this map there are a lot of viable options. Let's not write it off just because five years of play have told us the "correct" way to play, and this doesn't fit it.
