AliaSmehova (red, Tavern, Ain, Tazar) def Loi (blue, Castle, Valeska, Kir), 2smd4(3), 134.

We played with breaks, so I'll write in general terms... I remember struggling for the first 10 days, trying hard. And then I switched to my usual pace (when you build, don't focus on secondary objectives, farm resources, and start pushing from the early third stage) - but it doesn't work with Alex. I needed to push hard as soon as I gathered troops and go all-in on the third stage... I decided to wait a couple of days, playing comfortably - and the red player quickly outplayed Kir. I rushed there, hoping that the pressure would lead to mistakes - but there were none. I was completely outplayed.
Thanks for the game and the valuable analysis afterward.
