Comment on Game theory article from a professional Starcraft player/caster.parent

Comments

Yes. In Starcraft, it is not uncommon for players to attempt to force a win by going for an all-in strategy that sacrifices long-term income for lots of first-tier combat units. The chance aspect is that there are more starting locations than there are players. If your opponent does not find you quickly enough and you are relatively close, both of which are purely matters of chance, you can overrun them, almost regardless of skill differences.
