don’t lose that scout
Wow, it’s down to the wire on whether Steamhammer will make it into the final 16. Steamhammer has been scoring a little lower in the final third of the tournament, and as I write it is standing on the edge at rank 16. With 10 games left, I look at the opponents and expect 4 losses and 6 wins, probably not enough to hold rank 16.
But we don’t know until we know. In an unexpected loss to PeregrineBot (which it easily beat in their first game), Steamhammer suffered at least 2 different play bugs, including one caused by losing its initial scout before finding the enemy base. Gotta fix more bugs. Then it followed up with an unexpected win against Bereaver; the protoss had easily won the first game. Bereaver was careless with its early probe scout and lost it before zerglings spawned, and Steamhammer’s aggressive play caught it off guard. Without information on what zerg was doing, Bereaver did not make enough zealots to hold. Moral: That scout is important!
We’ll see what happens! Steamhammer plays sharply and is prone to upsets in both directions.
