It's almost the same in the human confrontation in TvT.
"He who has aerial control controls the game"!
Of course, neither sentence is absolute, but generally there is nothing wrong with it.
Air supremacy is almost the most important in the human civil war. The human race's several key military units, transport aircraft and liberators, all fly in the sky.
The meaning of having air superiority is that I can liberate you but you can't.
My liberation can stand against you but you cannot.
That's why Gao Yan advances so smoothly.
Moreover, when he has a large number of Vikings, Gao Ran can use his numerical advantage to chase down his opponent's Vikings, but Maru has no choice at all.
Many professional human players know that this situation is impossible to win.
It can only be said that Gao Ran’s selection of this map was based on his understanding, and everything else has been considered.
Is there any problem with Maru pressing it? No, Satan asked himself if he would press it if it were him. The answer is yes.
It's just that it might be better if the liberator doesn't use a double line to protect the troops frontally.
It was because Maru's liberator was eaten that it lost air control.
It's that simple.
If it were a normal game, Maru would definitely hit GG and quit the game when he reached this situation.
But this is the knockout round of the World Finals, and Gao Ran might be sent back due to a big operational error.
Try not to play GG unless you are in a losing situation.
Look for every possibility to make a comeback.
It's a pity that Gao Ran will not give him any chance. After the spearman was shot by the tank on Gao Ran's side and the Viking was chased and killed, Maru still knocked out GG.
"GG!"
"2 to 1!"
“There is something really good about this high-burning second-mine fast-playing style.”
“I feel like the human civil war on this map will probably end in the second mine soon.”
Teacher Sed also praised.
However, the opening is one thing. What's more, Gao Ran has more room to operate in the front wave of small operations, which gives Gao Ran a big enough advantage.
In TvT, especially in the early stage, a few more soldiers is a qualitative difference.
Gao Ran got the match point 2-1, and the game entered a short break!
After a 5-minute rest, the fourth set will begin. Gao Ran drank some water and stretched his wrists and muscles.
As long as he wins one more set, Gao Ran can advance to the finals on the final day.
This score is very stressful for Maru.
It is really difficult to prepare for high-burn tactics.
Generally, when professional players prepare tactics, they will prepare tactics for a specific race of opponents on a specific map.
But for Gao Ran, a random race, you have no idea what race he is on this map.
He can only compete with Gao Ran for strength.
Unless some one-shot tactics are used...
On the contrary, it is relatively simple to prepare for high-inflammation, and there are many high-inflammation tactics, so you can fight anything.
It is more difficult to defend against reality.
The human race has two sets of fighting styles. One is biochemical troops, which are troops such as spearmen, tanks, transport aircraft, and the other is mechanized, such as trains, tanks, Thor Yamato, etc.
Maru's strength is that he is very strong in both styles of play, which is something that many human players do not have.
The only two human players in the world who have strong playing styles are Maru and Satan.
However, mechanization is somewhat useless when faced with high combustion.
…
After 5 minutes of thinking, Maru took a deep breath and entered the fourth set.
"Okay, a high-octane match point game, the 4th set!"
"Those born in the lower left corner of the map are Gao Ran, and they are randomly assigned to the Protoss."
"The first game was the game that the Protoss lost."
"Gao Ran doesn't want to explore this game anymore!"
In the fourth game, Gao Ran directly chose not to explore the road, and the farmers continued to mine, so that the economy in the early stage would be slightly better.
In this game, Gao Ran felt that his opponent would definitely not be able to make any dirty moves.
If Maru dares to defend against evil tricks at 1 to 2, he is really too brave. You must know that there is a way out in every game before the high-burning game.
I have said many times before that when professional players face this kind of life-and-death situation, they usually choose their strongest playing system.
No regrets though.
But if Maru sets up some sort of field camp and loses the game, I’d probably want to jump off the building or slap myself in the face while sleeping in the hotel at night.
While slapping himself loudly, he said: "Can't we fight hard! We have to go to the wild barracks! We have to go to the wild!"
So this high-burning game directly stole a farmer's economy.
First mine the second mine and then control the core!
In fact, it is not very different from controlling the core first and then the second ore, so there is no need to go into it further.
The high-burning farmer lit up the high-burning fire and ran directly to the wild.
"Gao Ran is going to the wild vs (airport)."
"This is also a very normal play style for Gao Ran. Maru should be able to judge it."
Just as the narrator said, Gao Ran went out directly to light a crystal, and Maru's scouting farmer came to Gao Ran's house for a tour.
I didn't see the second crystal, so Maru must have realized that his opponent was hunting something outside.
Maru's God of Death came over and did another round of reconnaissance at Gao Ran's house to confirm that Gao Ran didn't have a second crystal and went straight out to find a building in the wild.
At the same time, gunmen were also dispatched from home.
In fact, PvT Wild Airport is indeed a relatively easy start to gain an advantage.
Because when your first prophet arrives at the opponent's home, there are not many spearmen on the opponent's side.
Opportunities are easy to find, so when facing Maru, the high-burning protoss will attack an airport first, and they will never suffer a loss.
You can always poke a few farmers.
One of Gao Ran's apostles cooperated with the prophet to create a simple double line.
The Prophet also killed three farmers one after another, and chose to retreat after seeing the opponent's missile vehicle coming out.
It is an acceptable result for both parties.
"oh?!"
"Gao Ran is emerging as a phoenix!"
"This is a wave of suppression, not a wave!"
"Hiss... Actually, from God's perspective, this is a wave of opportunities."
The Phoenix fighter's skill can consume energy to lift the opponent into the air. In the early stage, if the opponent has few technological units, its frontal combat capability will be quite strong.
From God's perspective, Maru didn't realize that Gao Ran was releasing the Phoenix fighter.
If Gao Ran uses one move and three barracks to lead a wave of Phoenix Prophet at this moment, Maru will die.
Just two words, you will die.
However, Gao Ran does not play these fancy things, such as suppressing, operating, mining, and hitting the mid-term.
This is his core idea against Maru.
Gao Ran also directly clicked on his third mine. The economy was very good, and his opponents could not put any pressure on him at all.
Maru also realized this problem. In 5 minutes, two missile vehicles came out with a large wave of machine guns, aiming directly at the high-burning third mine!
"This wave of Maru is on steroids."
"The chances are great."
"That's right."
Brother Huang and Teacher Sed said one after another.
Maru's wave of soldiers was quite thick in number, with two large waves of machine guns carrying stimulants. However, when passing by the intersection, they were spotted by the apostle who was in high gear in the early stage!
"Gao Ran saw it!"
"The details are in place! This is so critical! Otherwise, this wave might hit G directly!"
Brother Sun shouted.
After the lack of detection in the first game, Gao Ran deliberately increased the visual warning in the subsequent games.
It was also crucial to see the opponent's large army in the center of the map in this wave. Gao Ran did not hesitate to place the battery at the exit point of the second mine!
Maru had a curse word that he didn't know whether to say or not. He obviously deliberately avoided it but was still seen by the high-spirited apostle.
It can only be said that the high-burning details are indeed something that others cannot imitate.
