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. | ||

you'd think a simple "nuh uh" would suffice. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
