"Tech Strat: Build best tech (banshees, dark templar)"

I like your comparison with game development, but as a Starcraft player, I raised an eyebrow here

 

Yeah I was thinking early game when I wrote those. A banshee or dark templar opening can give you a win or a significant advantage. But later on "best tech" becomes something different.
