Gaia vs Kronos
Me Demonic_Gaia(1595,Gaia) vs LCC_Mythos(1633,Kronos). I was going for a Gaia FH but I saw about 2:30 into the game that Krush was coming so I adusted my strat of course. I did the Turtle Strat and managed to survive his first onsluaght after which it was a soon "gg". Good match and its nice to see that Gaia can beat Krush.
My only comment, and please don't take this as my taking anything away from a win, I mean you beat someone rated 50 points higher than you - good job no matter what, but, I thought that was a pretty weak Krush!
First, he didn't surround your TC with oracles the way he's supposed to - he NEVER had LOS to your wood or your gold and had no idea where your hunters were. I don't think any of your goldmines or huntables were EVER in his LOS!
Second, he could see your oracle standing right there and still timeshifted his temple right into your LOS! Of COURSE his free promethean got sliced up - you were right there ready for it!
Third, he never used valor on his Oracles - in a good Krush, the first nuisance is typically the prom and the oracle who kind of run in, hit and run out (kind of like the centaur strangle without the speed - not trying to kill your villies, just trying to keep them from working), erst the while turmae are coming. And I was surprised he spammed the expensive cheiros instead of the cheaper and faster turmae.
Again, don't take that as a slam on you - a win is a win! It's just that I've seen better Krushes than that :).

^^^Yea I get what your saying ive seen better ones to ill admit but I think its perfect for why I posted it here to show the concept of how to defend vs. Krush as Gaia. Yes it was weak but showed the concept imo. As far as rating goes im really 1650 on my good days and that was a good day lol anyway thanks for the feedback everyone!
