Key timing: Bot Lab by 0:39
- Open 3 mex, then rush Bot Lab almost immediately.
- Finish Bot Lab and start pushing Thug, Grunt, Aggravator.
- Send units straight to middle to contest and stop leaks.
- Eat the Bot Lab for metal if 32% of games reach that point.
- Transition into Advanced Metal Extractor once middle is stable.
