thumbs up for this article!

Fantastic article, I really like how it's organized and well thought out. The length is appropriate, and the visual elements are well-sized and not overthetop like a lot of people tend to do. Excellent job, I'm a fan.

Amazing reading Pholon !

A+ would read again.
And will, since I haven't read the full interview with Artosis/IdrA or listened to the one with Day9. Good job pointing out the wraith timings!
One infidecimal complaint, since I'm a picky reader: typos and improper grammar. Not a huge deal, and it wasn't even that often, but it was enough to stand-out. Still, pretty damn impressive assuming you're not a native english speaker. I'm curious if it really is your second language.

sick article, always cool to read about very recent trends in BW strategy.

Best article in a long time. gj
Edit: Your focus on ghost usage seemed to overlook the significance that lockdown played in Leta v Pure (HBR). The nuke was cool, but I think the lockdowns played a much greater role. About 3 arbs and maybe 5 carriers were deactivated???

Wow Pholon so good this is reaaally nice wow

I'm not sure what could such an article focus on. I mean, Protoss sure has flair, but could you break it down to units besides DA and Scouts? General community response to protoss units: Zealot, Dragoon, High Templar, Corsair, Reaver, Archon: standard. Arbiter: gay. DT: gay. Carrier: gay. Maybe shuttles are underused Bulldog or elevator: gay:-p Or special abilities? There again, I only see Maelstrom, Feedback and Disruption Web worthy of mentioning, as psi storms, stasis fields and recalls are used frequently.

Sick article pholon, well written and informative. Love the use of those pictures and games linked within to make points clear, since I've missed quite some of those games live.
Day9 interview just added the cherry on the cake
|
Seriously awesome article... but like the people above I was left waiting for a discussion on the use of optic flare, one of the most underused spells in starcraft. Regardless it was a great read, and I love all the interviews
