Suicide front / Armada / Factory first / OBSERVED BUILD

Usually lab first (63%)

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Bot Lab by 0:20

  1. Open with mex and wind, drop Bot Lab immediately.
  2. Push out first "Centurion" as Pond's boost lands.
  3. Send "Rocketeer", "Centurion", "Pawn" mix to contest middle.
  4. Add Dragon's Teeth and Sentries to hold the line.
  5. Get Advanced Metal Extractor up as T2 nears.
