My favorite Supreme Isthmus games are the ones where players coordinate strategies that aren't just "front-line holds while the tech players play Sim City for forty minutes." I love seeing "flex goes for a surprise Duck assault to wipe out the enemy navy" or "air player skips bombers and goes straight for torpedoes, knocking out the enemy sea player, opening the door to amphib tanks" or my personal favorite "surprise! we commie rushed a 5 minute Tzar with grunt support :)"
1000%, scouting is so underrated in the current meta. I'd honestly like scout planes to be a little bit cheaper, to allow them to be flung out a bit more often without entirely handicapping the air player
@@TheDeathlyG Ya scouting as air is an extremely large gamble most of the time. This game is more of a display of why the seas get a SCOUT and a trans.
honestly I'm surprised this isn't a more popular strategy, I remember playing a game on ismusth against barbarian AI and all they did was rush the frontline, we got completely destroyed because 8 players worth of eco will just pass right through whatever units/ defense you could make as the two frontliners.
I actually only considered this as an idea a couple days ago, it seems like a deathly strategy to slam them right off the bat. And lo and behold there's a video that shows this idea applied perfectly
Brightworks really needs to showcase more of the main 8v8 high os lobbies. Between glitters, straights, and his own group it seems like we never see the big names.
there was a full week where every isthmus game was like this when someone discovered this strategy first, after that it disappeared and became super rare
rerory not taking those mex is a HUGE mistake. Game ending in fact. By taking them 5 mins late he threw away 1400 metal for a few seconds of time advantage. Even if you didn't need it don't you think your team would have liked 1400 metal? Or you could have made 28 more pawns with it. That might have helped... This isn't a cheese. It's a suicide.
Poor rerory. You did a fantastic opening, but sadly your play got countered in the enemies' pre-game chat. Sometimes it just turns out your cheese simply wasn't cheesy enough in the face of opposing cheese!
I'm not sure where the cheese was here ? People need to watch their minimaps and react not 10 minutes later when they see a bunch of different color circles going their way... Also red could have done a lot more with his early grunt spam, could have wiped 2 entire bases at least which would have slowed them down, but didnt commit his second batch and messed up the micro on the first one.. Pink leaving his com to blow up with his entire army frontline didn't help either..
I like how one of the red players was like 'the sea isn't contested, I'm going hard eco' right as the push started...no sir, I don't think you will.

The lesson here is air absolutely needs to scout.

That sounds like a fun game. Probably have to spam defenses and walls on the front to survive
They transported a Grunt to that Geo, which made it go boom

That being said, I think it's nice to focus mostly on normal skill players
Arakis lobby is goated

The blue team pulled a cheeky one hahaha
