Ostwind and raketen blob is the strongest, most meta OKW tactic since 2 years ago. How do you turn this around to be praise for Barton for using UP units?
If you saw someone use OKW in a tourney WITHOUT going scavenge, that would be news.
I am not praising Barton.
i also did not state any concrete opinion on rak or ostwind. i am not playing technicality game here. i am not playing "i said ABCE not ABCD" game.
The matter of the fact is that if relic listened to dozens of whine threads about ostwind and raketen (which I agreed with the general sentiment), Barton could've been top 4 now. and I am saying that no plebs, including myself, should have any voice on balance where only the top players can truly use units to their fullest potential.
I admit, that example was not the best for the reasons you stated.
