Nice interview. I agree with Fir3ball, Bois seems more of a wehr map to me. So easy to hold the middle relegates the allies to the flanks. The river through the middle delays flanks. Sure the munis are mostly on the flanks, but wehr can easily concentrate on one side and get enough muni to last him through T1 and T2.
Only map that is allied favored in the SNF map rotation is Ango but Wehr players have gotten so good on that map that a mistake by the allied player can lead to a cutoff and gg.
Despite the generally poor US play the series was epic! Ace game ftw
I think Aimstrong didn't get the practice he needed qualifying so early. So he rushed his practice at the end by concentrating on his Wehr play forgoing his US. Still wp and was a great match.
Wehr is not OP, US is still strong at exploiting any small mistake the wehr player makes. At higher levels though US is much harder to play as the wehr player does not offer many mistakes to capitalise on. However US can still easily overwhelm the wehr player in the early stages of the game, and correct tech can force a wehr player to make mistakes. The wehr sniper is very strong but extremely delicate so the slightest mistake for the wehr player can throw away the advantage.
In those games we saw underprepared US from both players. First game with a 1 engy start improperly microed rifles were forced off by mgs, losing any advantage gained by the start and allowing wehr to dig in. Bad teching in the second game going for the sherman instead of the m8. Third game DevM was off to a great start then mismicroed and promptly lost his advantage. Going 4 rifles then WSC is a very bad build order as the rifles bleed alot of manpower delaying the sniper. When you get the sniper you must get the countersnipe and get alot of kills to turn the tide. Unfortunately they played passively with their sniper once they countersniped and the sniper then didn't have much impact on the battlefield. The most you should get is 3 rifles then WSC. Just poor US play from both players against almost impeccable wehr play.
