As someone who is also on the MMR grind I love your positivity and the lesson you take from each loss. It helps me improve my game

My takes (1600). Anyone who disagrees feel encouraged to let me know: Not too much to say in this game as wins are more difficult to advise. Obviously the tarantula/crawler combo positioning is really bad since we know he has at least orange man. Positioning forward is a good choice overall though (even hard pushing would be possible) since your units counter his and it would lower the time it takes for the crawlers to be on top of the stangs/marksmen. Also if you missposition something and all it does is die, it can be good to sell it to make switching up easier and not feed xp. Here trying to patch it up with chaff was the better play, but you could have sold the tarantulas later on. The only other big thing is saw (mentioned this one before) is, you should be pressing replicate and forcing an answer if your opp refuses to counter crawlers. Seeing crawlers hit marksmen or stangs is the definite go ahead to press replicate. This not only gives you tempo, so you can just chill and see what opp does, but can also do a lot of damage, so when you counter opps inevitable next move he will be closer to dying, giving him less time to come up with answers.

I had the same read watching it back. I wrote off the Tarantula after round one, so I should have just ended up selling it. It didn't matter too much this game but it might make a difference next time.

Your placement of those fangs, bro. Just having them on the inside instead of the outside would have put so much more pressure on Orange Man. It obviously didn't matter, but man was it just flicking my nose the whole time. Also, that guy was playing way too close to the center. He was one solid flank away from a cascade. Then again, i love my flank plays.

Massed storms is nasty, had a game today where someone went massed storms with ex range and emp, coupled with range and split melters and it was genuinely nigh uncounterable

[@WhoopedGG]

😆that sounds rough

[@eBilVastard1]

I was worried the guy in the first game was going to hard pivot into air, considering your complete lack of AA

[@WhoopedGG]

Haha yeah, three Marksman probably wouldn't fair too well against something serious.

[@yungdevi]

You build arclites every game? I made it to 1500 literally without ever building one. And that was pre-tarantula. Anyway I tanked my mmr all the way to sub-1000 doing meme builds and it’s been a hard climb back to 1300 (current) but I learned a lot about different units and techs.

[@WhoopedGG]

I didn't used to, but I've liked them a lot after this patch. I kind of go in waves--Storms, Scorpions, Marksman, Mustangs, etc. Now I'm on Arclights haha.

[@yungdevi]

@@WhoopedGG yea you gotta try em all. At least to see how people counter it. I’m cheesing wraiths and rhinos lately. Arcs are a good unit but I never scale them. And here you bought em when you already had spiders for chaff clear. Made no sense to me
