Not being on miner O all game would have just resulted in us losing even sooner to rix sbs. IC revolves around nonstop offense - that's why they have ripping miners and tough stations - so they can minimize the amount of people needed for defense. KB didn't kill us, Lack of coordination killed us - just like the game before. When miner O doesn't stay together and rushes in one by one or in 2s and 3s, they all just get decimated by rix hvies and prox and feed enemy KB. Galvs and F/Bs were a great choice. They had no forward tech bases so we should have easily galved them into a corner and then F/Bed from there. When they were assault mining our sector with our "10k away OP" everyone kept just rushing the miner 1 by 1 or in pairs and just crashing into a wall of 15 nanscouts with prox2. Go make some more Piano Hero YouTube videos and stop thinking you know anything about comming or strat.
also the sup and rip1/hull1 GA paid for itself purely out of miners saved
Let me begin by saying that #1, this is my opinion and #2 I am not trying to flame you, with that out of the way, I really think you threw the game away, if you had gone straight for heavy ints before sup you would have put us pretty much out of the game, we were having troubles mining already against standard exp, having to defend miners with basic tech vs heavy ints would have been the nail in the coffin.
I'm not saying you're endgame strategy was bad, I'm saying that you got your build order wrong.
I remember the game pretty well and I'm pretty sure you mined with NO problems for like 20 minutes, 20 minutes give you heavy ints, adv cons, then all you needed to do was to push those cons to the chokes against our basic ints, after that attack miners non stop while you mined pretty much freely for whatever 2nd tech you wanted.
