I noticed that Emuchu moved his sniper into runner range in the first replay and he moved the heavy in the second replay. Both were unnecessary moves and might have changed the outcomes of the games. Whether or not avoiding those mistakes would have changed the games in a relevant manner remains to be seen, but it probably would have made a bigger impact on the second game where his runner stepped up to the 1HP soldier and couldn't make the kill. lol

I think you mean heavy not soldier. But yes, you are definitely correct. The point is that this opening/defense turns these games into actual games that are winnable and require strategy from both sides, rather than an automatic defeat for P2.
