HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: T2 factory by 4:15

  1. Open 3 mex and heavy wind to fund a fast T2 rush.
  2. Put down Bot Lab, planning to eat it for reclaim soon after.
  3. Get Advanced Bot Lab up, hitting the T2 factory rush timing.
  4. Upgrade mex to Advanced Metal Extractor to lock in team metal income.
  5. Eat Advanced Bot Lab and keep sending cons to Geo and Pond.

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.
