SC2: attacking versus expanding.

do not try to win the game instantaneously. --- day9.

i believe this means in this game, attacking is used to set your opponent back, but the real idea (and it's pretty abstract) is to blow your opponent away in a combination of resource collection rate, food, units, and tech :D

apparently killing them is secondary, because eventually you will kill them with a food difference of 150 to 4.

also, the difference of tech and macro (having more STUFF) is that the macro player WILL WIN if he can hold off the lesser "based", teching player. the NEXT STEP: you should probably be grabbing a tech piece; you have a base up on him already.

with this in mind: 2 rax FE means stability through 2 rax (obviously.) after being up on 2 base, and STABILIZING, get a tech choice going.

ASIDE: on a different note, speedlings are the key ingredient to ling/bling. NOT blings. get the surround and you're good. delaying tech is powerful!! do it!! :) delaying gas, tech, but speeding to an expo = super powerful as of late. of course, keep in mind the metagame :)
