HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Bot Lab by 0:20

  1. Open with mex and lab-first to get Bot Lab up by 0:20.
  2. Expand mex and wind while lab pumps units toward middle.
  3. Push Sentry and early Rocketeer, Centurion to contest middle.
  4. Get T2 constructor out once Pond's boost lets you spare metal.
  5. Upgrade mex to Advanced Metal Extractor as you transition off T1 spam.
