I recently watched two great games that really showcased strategy with Sicilians and it has kind of impressed me with what they're capable of and how differently they are played.
The first video shows Daut playing against Slam as Mayans. The second, which in my opinion shows Viper perfectly leveraging their bonuses, drives this point home even further on a closed fortress map against Yo as Huns. In both games, Daut and Viper use First Crusade to relieve their greedy booms which get them over a ten villager lead. Then they push out and establish map control on all of the maps resources as they pile on pressure. By the time they are repulsed, they have fortifications all over the map, relics, and can comfortably transition to mixed trash comp armies to starve opponents of resources, and then Scutage can help hasten a killing blow when the enemy inevitably loses resource income first due to lack of map control.
The sicilans have a bunch of small power timings and effects as a result of resource control that make them a macro-players dream. Like T90 said, it isn't sexy but it's quite different. What are your thoughts on how the pros have been playing them and their potential for competitive aoe?
