First loss is cause we got kinda cheesed, but we could have countered that easily,which we did in another game, same opponents. It was just a build order loss. We needed to "think" a bit, instead of just winning from pressing our button.
and while we care enough to change build orders, we don't care enough to mega tryhard
I must admit I did not watch the Steppes win against the chinese team (and Asha doesn't have VoDs), but it appears like this team swapped from triple DAK to double DAK, making sure there is a 2nd coastal cheesespammer, do you think the rematch loss has nothing to do with this?
And regarding changed build orders, I am genuinely curious what USF is supposed to do against these strats, as imo USF is by far the weakest teamgame faction. Mainly due to how their indirect fire is complete trash or how their whole faction design is beaten by DAK pgren + flak + AT gun in early/mid game
