    i kinda wish cheese was more popular. the good players practice the 'normal' good team strategies so much that they hardly ever expect a simple cheese; it's a bit of a paradox.

    Having one stay and build the CC to increase it's HP and delay Stephan was good too. We expected it to be only touched out of ghost with no one there.

    I'm curious how they knew aliens started in fabrication. Could just as easily have been launch, unless there is some trick as comm to knowing where they start?

    You buy the shotties, and you rush the aliens. Recycle IP so your marines fight till the last.

    10 armoury
    20 shotguns
    10 forward armoury
    15 CC
    55 total

    But only 50 starting tres, which means 30 seconds delay before you can drop 2nd CC. Shotgun research time just also happens to be 30 seconds, and so if you recycle the IP, you allow the team to start building 2nd CC a tiny bit earlier before shotguns finish so you have more 2nd CC hp. I too was wondering why aus did this, and it seems they had planned this out really well in advance.

    Also, since ip cost 20 now, if you recycle, you get 15, which is basically a free CC. So you can get that 3rd ghost CC as added protection much faster. If you are going for such an allin shotgun rush, the IP is not going to help you much anyway.
