Even so - shell has some weaknesses that can be exploited. The easiest way to protect yourself is having good map awareness so you can see when the shell moves.

I only viewed the reply once - so I'm sure I missed some of the inter-workings, but it did seem to me that there were several moments where critical opportunities were missed. WorldFamous mentioned the one that stood out to me the most.

I agree, there may have been a time when I could've changed things around (using some other strategy), however I think you two should go back and review those two opportunities. Especially the sniper one. I could've sniped his bombshell, but I would've lost the game because I wouldn't have been able to spawn any more units. I've attached a screen shot of that move.

Understand the context.. I couldn't obtain map awareness because his 2nd move of the game with the BS made it impossible to keep anything around. I had a decision to make.. Spawn a runner for awareness and waste my precious 1 spawn per move or do my best to build/turtle. I think achieving awareness with a runner would've set me back and I would've lost even sooner. Honestly, I think the range is too far on the BS. That was the one issue I had with an attacking BS. I couldn't keep a runner around with how close he was to me and with his range.
