Iron has continued to make progress but hasn’t yet lived up to its author’s hopes. It can now expand to its natural, though not beyond. Its game plan amounts to setting an elastic containment outside the enemy base, but its unit mix is not adaptive. An enemy that finds the right counter-mix and keeps pressure up can push the contain back and either break through or starve Iron out. Aggressive tscmoo zerg can’t be contained at all.

Tscmoo terran now knows how to kill tanks by laying mines next to them. The technique seems deadly effective. I also saw it chase down overlords with Napoleonic vigor, though only after the zerg was already toast.

Krasi0 and especially Tyr have both been playing more strongly after updates. I can’t pin down what they’re doing better, though.

Hmm, 4 terrans. Are we in for a terran renaissance?
