    Showtime quickly expanding to the bottom right is actually so clever! If/when the game goes long, those bases usually end up going to the bottom left player, and in this case, Maru took those bases after they were already deeply mined.

    That game was just Showtime beating Maru to death with his wallet. He really should have used that income to transition to higher tech while keeping Maru contained instead of taking that bad engagement in the mid-game. A few Immortals, and perhaps even a Tempest or two to deal with the Siege Tanks would have been very useful. He DEFINITELY needed to get Storm earlier in the game as well.
    Still, it was a masterclass in "more stuff beats less stuff".

    • @LimboJimbo
      @LimboJimbo Рік тому +3

      That is easier said than done...
      Against an opponent like Maru, you can't give them the slightest bit of a pause unless you very much ahead and even then it is dangerous. So upgrading is compromising your ability to pressure. I think it's no insult for Showtime to acknowledge that mechanically, Maru is just better and Showtime knows it. So he has to kind of overwhelm him from a position where he has the better income. If he had gone for the upgrades as you suggested, I suppose you would have been surprised at how fast Maru can come back to hit you. And if you invest into transition and therefore have less army or only even to him, that is enough for him to destroy you 9 times out of 10.
