Last game was one of biggest chokes I've seen from any high level sc2 veteran, he really looked out of it towards the end. To his credit, he did add tech labs to those barracks after all, GG
Can somebody explain to me (complete noob at the game) the barracks scouting in the first game? Is that a thing that can be useful in any way? Surely, having just reapers to scout must be better, right? It's not like zerg will build a wall. Why would you ever lose barracks just to scout? Edit: He actually does this repeatedly. I have no clue why.
Since he's playing mech, that barracks won't serve any purpose for him after he's gotten his extra factories down, and since even if he sent it home he'd still be left without units for longer while his factory is building the reactor, it's more important that he keeps the reapers alive because his hellions will be much later, so he can safely send his barracks in to die for some info and easily replace it some minutes later when its relevant again.
Since he's playing mech (factory/starport units almost exclusively) the barracks is completely useless after the initial reapers, its generally better to just send it in for extra info on drone counts/gas geysers taken/etc instead of bringing it back home where it can sit there doing nothing all game anyway. Sometimes even if its a bio follow up they will send that proxied barracks in, because early info on tech transitions or pushes can be incredibly valuable in terms of getting an effective response going, that info can be very subtle at the pro level including drone counts/transfers at specific bases or other unit movements, timing on tech structures going down, etc.

So happy Terran got a minor buff in the upcoming patch. This patch they are wildly underpowered
