farmboy (X) vs Ghostglider (A+19)

yeah that’s one of my weaknesses, when i lose games it’s often because i like to change the script and experiment. has anyone tried an G1? i experimented with G1s a lot in bm for a period, even against strong players like adam. didn’t find it as feasible but made for interesting, off script games. let’s see how it plays out in ptv.

@pacifiersboard I’m guessing you are having a hard time deciding whether to claim allies or too bid again?

@max334

Okay, will edit. Perhaps I missing something, but I don’t see an end game quite yet.
