Early T2 and other small map strategies on Theta Passage

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

I recently found an excellent replay on the vault showing a 1v1 match between two excellent, big name players in the SupCom community: Unconquerable and TheLittleOne. The match is played on Theta Passage, and it highlights many of the strategies now being used by top players on small maps. It is of course [...]

High ranking game on Open Palms

I have just finished watching an excellent replay (v3254) involving #3 ranked TheLittleOne versus #24 TAG_ROCK_. LittleOne chose Aeon and Rock played as Cybran, with the match occurring on Open Palms.

One trick wonders
