Did you choose civs? Or was it random?

[RolandSC2]

Borg- was random. I may have been also, but at the time I was playing Iberians to dissuade my opponent from cavalry rushing. (moderately successful).

I was wondering if the Iberians thing was about stopping cav rushes, and it seems it was. Could be a useful tactic to use against better players.

 

Thanks!

Something tells me that borg- prefers Micro-bullying his opponents to death. This is an example of Advanced Micro + Strategy > Super Clicks Per Second Micro.

gg wp and thanks Roland :) @sphyrth you mean « [Roland's] Advanced Micro + Strategy > [Borg] Super Clicks Per Second Micro »? If so I agree :) Though behind in numbers Roland was *ready* at 16' with at least 2 blacksmith upgrades over Borg for about a couple of minutes and 2 battles I think. Gave Roand an excellent KD of 120 vs 70 at ~18' Then Borg took that back to about 210 to 240, but he lost sooo many key buildings in the process. Archers civs' hard to handle man! Alistair also commented, /me liked to watch both as they show different views on this super intense match between two top players :)
