[moo5003]

1v1
Sm (moo5003 - me) vs Ork
Map: Dead Mans Crossing
Time: ~10 Minutes
Winning Conditions: Whatever automatch sets it as.
Condition Won: Attained critical location for I believe 6 min.

Description: Orks I -Believe- rushed with ~3-4 slugga mobs + Mech vs my 3 marine squads with flames and snipers+fc. Marines win.

when I hear ork rush I think of the horde pounding on your door at 2 minutes in. This game was heavily tier 1 from both sides, but I wouldn't call it rushing from either standpoint. Your flamers and rifles broke him and won the match for you.

if that was a rush then the real rushes must be pre-game action

lol

The size of your replay shows its not a rush= win game. Most Rush=Win replays are under about 50kb.

not always... a rush can also cripple your economy, and then its up to the rusher to decide wen to finish his victim :D

anyway.. that was not a rush at all just capping resources fast wich means you require 3 or more slugga squads.
why the sm player won that easily is because, they took the Orks on in the river where they get negative cover, so they break even faster against flamethrowers plus the fact that Orks have to make it to your troops to engage em in combat while they get fired on the whole time in negative cover

it was nice to see, but id like to see something like that in normal win conditions without negative cover :D

Deadman's crossing is a horribly imbalanced map for orc. Sluggers are far too weak in the river.

agrees with Spiral.. myself i think fallen city the 1 vs 1 city map 3rth one on the list is fair to each side
