WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Standard Tech play barely fights at all early, instead pouring metal into T2 infrastructure and constructors for the team.

+ Metal produced hits 31679 by 15:00, by far the highest of any role here.
+ T2 factory reached in 97% of games by 4:15, fastest and most reliable T2 timing.

− Enemy metal destroyed stays at 0 through 10:00, no early offense at all.
− Own metal lost also near 0, showing total avoidance of combat risk.
