EARLY GAME:

You only saw 2 Cons (no molies), and one inside a house which was clearly delaying capping from you. You should have smell something fishy (T1-T2).

You kept engaging snipers on 1v1 instead of blobbing hard. Pullback, dont give him XP, stop mp bleed and then proceed to push him offmap. Build a bunker and secure your/his cutoff.

Midgame:

Several mistakes.
LMGs and vetting grens. You could have place some mines in order to restrict movement to the infantry. LMGs are useless against snipers since it also reduces your DPS on the move. If you just waited till G43 it would had been better.
You could had either gone with PGs and screening with Pios or grens. Besides mines n demos he has nothing to stop you.

Vetting grens and getting SC (which did nothing) was just a waste of fuel. If you had been patient, and gone T1 into T3 you could had seal the match pretty quickly with a faster Ostwind.

Lategame: he pushed you offmpap till you had time to wait for TA. Which shows how utterly BS that unit can still be. Snipers need to be babysit so you can expect your opponent to make mistakes in other parts of the map (unless he has just better micro/multitasking). Your TA kept sniping and wiping squads with just attack move. 2 shots, 2 snipers squad cleaned.
In 2 minutes it was able to recover all the damage the snipers made you.
With all the damage the TA made, you just needed to have some grens or tellers nearby to stop the rams. That was his only bet left.


Conclusion: you made the wrong tech decisions and didnt capitalize the huge potential advantage you had during early-mid game. With some luck in your favour you could had got the snipers on several ocassions finishing the game. Shit happens. Anyway, you could also had won the match with BS TA if you gave it some cover.
