Making the third gas less easy to take would make PvZ a little less difficult I think, like Match Point has a mineral third instead of a gas third and P have a much better time

Yep, several others have already made this analysis. A mineral-only third (and much harder-to-take fourth) prevents zerg from having the kitchen sink to throw at the P within minutes. And if it's easy to defend (like Match Point), P can actually get to a third base too for a change, which allows them to survive into the late game. Of course, protoss units cost gas too, but protoss can do much more with the extra minerals. A third gas that is easy to defend for protoss too might not be a bad deal either.

I mean if you think about it, which promising players does Protoss have?


Movie, violet, Perfectman, Tempest and Stats. Obviously most of them are no where near the top but I'd say they were the future top toss.


I wasnt aware people are actually serious about perfectman ^^
Why, cause he beat Iris once? It is way too early to even mention this guy.

I already mentioned movie and violet, and about the others, horang2 and backho included, do you really see them winning any starleagues soon?
Just compare that list to
calm effort kwanro zero - two of those players already ARE S-class, the other two also are quite accomplished already, more accomplished then any of those tosses you mention

Of course there are very talented Protoss players, but the point is that right now the Zerg players are simply better.

people should probably stop splashing the phrase "S-class" around. thats for flash, jaedong, stork, bisu and fantasy. until a player can hang with these guys, they ain't S-class

I think the point is it wasn't that long ago, and the fact that the matchup is evolving back toward the zerg isn't a problem because the pendulum *will* swing back.


There isn't an unlimited amount of possible viable strategies though, so it might not. Personally i think Zerg is inherently better when played at such a high level and as time passes its getting more and more clear. With modern scourge control, lurker spread, muta micro, defiler usage etc etc it seems unlikely to me that there will be another era of Protoss dominance unless theres somehow some very heavily P favoured maps used in the future.

Edit: also the same thing i believe is definitely noticeable in ZvT as well with Z currently in a better position than usual. T being more flexible though means its probably more likely for the matchup to swing back.

Cool, I can use arbitrary ideas to support my facts too. With modern corsair, shuttle control, and high templar and arbiter accuracy, it seems unlikely that protoss will ever lose again.

Such a bad argument. cant believe it. forGG has won a starleague as well is he better than fantasy? Than JD, than stork? Than anybody?

This is just personal opinion not facts just like i said so your sarcastic comment isn't really needed. Of course P players are getting better overall too, but i think the advantages of better control of those units do not match up to the advantages of this higher level of Z play. I'm not saying its going to be impossible to win but just it'll be slightly more tilted in Z's favour overall as the skill level gets higher and higher. You can try to explain to me why i'm wrong if you want, but i don't know why people just assume it will always swing back to P's favour at some point.

edit: also i don't see how its arbitrary, i was pointing out a few things which have clearly got a lot better recently and are directly effecting the matchup. scourge/muta in particular are definitely a lot more dangerous than they used to be, and P doesn't have an equivalent improvement possible imo. sair/ht usage for example, even as it gets better its not going to effect the matchup as much as the former.

7mk I was talking about future top Protoss who are still fairly new, you're listing very experienced Zerg. I also made no comparison to other races, so what's the relevance? If these guys are not the future top P then who is? Bisu and Stork can't carry on for ever. Kal will be Mr. Solid but nothing special.

Put it this way:
Calm JUST won a starleague.
Fantasy couldn't even make it to the Ro16 for that same league.
If Fantasy is S-Class, Calm is too. Nothing more, nothing less.
The rest of that argument was just fallacious slippery slope crap.

Who cares about what players qualify for some imaginary tier? Not worth arguing about.
