My comments yesterday were unfair to the other team's gray player. zxcpetarda sent a conjurer across the map and tried to build a picket in luclucaa's zone. The conjurer got assassinated before finishing the picket, but its flex AA does represent the attempt to assist luclucaa with the air-ground double-team that I claimed didn't happen. And while one picket would've been insufficient, I think that the conjurer was going to build more than just the one picket if it survived long enough.

This game had a lot to unpack, so I'm splitting the Lessons Learned into two parts: one covering mistakes during the competitive portion of the game, and another analyzing how to properly exploit a collapse since this was my first time in that position and I neglected a lot of stuff in the process.

Lessons Learned:
1) My initial defensive lotus was built with my commander standing idly by, while my attention was occupied buying time with Scorcher micro. It would've taken less overall attention to have the commander assist meaning I needed to buy less time.
2) A properly conducted double team is devastating. However, if not actively coordinating, at least pay attention to what your assistant is doing! A couple of double team attempts this game were less than fully successful because one player went in before the other expected.
3) My worker at the front should be attack moving in preference to area reclaiming. It missed opportunities to repair, which could've swung the next fight, and the reclaim field would still be there afterwards.
4) A non-overdriven supermex won't make up for skipping a bunch of mexes to get there.
5) I wasn't keeping up on building energy during the early fights. Fortunately, my support player HistidineStar was picking up the slack and adding solars to my mexes. However, I had a surplus of Masons and could easily have put one on Alt-W duty behind my advance in addition to my commander's opportunistic mexing.
6) This match verified a key piece of anti-shield-ball theorycraft: without Outlaws, it collapses quickly if somehow confronted with an even more expensive force that uses raiders for cleanup, achieved here by the air-ground double team.
7) After the main exploitation, I let my army get canalized! They parked in clumps in the canyon mouths, where they were vulnerable to AoE and especially the enemy silo. I should've instead either moved them fully outside the canyons where they could spread out, or concealed all but a few of them deeper in the canyons.
