He plays as China and he murdered me last night.

His strategy is always the same.
Hits as many supply points as he can , puts up 2 x bunkers and 2 x gattling cannons at the front of his base.
Sneaks black lotus into the back of my base to steal my buildings then finishes me off with 4 overlord tanks.
