Gl Protoss, asl will never release strong toss maps. They will just say they are toss maps and watch and aiur loses another


Protoss has a people problem, not a map problem.

Bisu doesnt have the hunger to win.
Snow and Best are choke artists that walk the kong line.
Mini plays like a B rank protoss with the mechanics of a pro gamer, I don't see that winning him more than the one championship he already has.
Rain would rather play League of Legends than grind enough Starcraft to win another championship.

Give tulgod a few more years and we might have some protoss hope again.


Zergs design is just broken. The only toss that has a chance against a Zerg in a bo7 is mini. Toss needs serious continued help just gutting hydra rushes or making them costly somehow,


Bisu was 1 game away from taking out Soma in ASL 20. Both him and Snow defeated two Zergs in the Ro8, which were both bo7. Not to mention Best beating Queen in a Bo7 in ASL 19 Ro8 and him loosing to Soulkey in the finals by only 1 map difference.
If you think those are bad PvZ results, go watch some vods from 2005/2006 when PvZ was truly at its darkest place in BW history.

Bisu was also one Soma's thrown-game away from getting 1-4'd by Soma - if we're going by that logic.

There's also no logic in mentioning Bisu and Snow's wins against the likes of Larva and Effort - whose rank are about 5th and 6th in the Zerg hierarchy - and using that as some kind of proof. Likewise for any near-win of Protoss vs Zerg.

If you want to compare, you have to do top 1 vs top 1, top 2 vs top 2, etc. The overall win rate, once sample size grows big enough, essentially does that for you.


The point I was arguing against was "Only mini can win a bo7 against zerg. Zerg design is broken"
How does that have anything to do with whether we are talking about nr1 or nr6 Zerg in the world?
Does nr1 toss have to be 50/50 against nr1 zerg, nr2 50/50 against nr2 etc. for it to be "winnable" and not "broken"?
Does the PvZ winrate in ASL in bo7 have to be close to 50/50 for zerg to not be op?
How far do we go down? Top 8 of each race? Top 16? Top 100?

Rush may be very close to the truth there lol. The fastest mineral is too much of a game changer on that map. Protoss would have too much stuff in the phase of the game when Terran is still very weak to them, which makes Terran unable to get out of earlier game alive, or if they can, will be significantly behind.

One map after decades of proleague has starting minerals fastest style but still 9x1500 per patch and the rest of the map pretty standard.Big deal....

If the games suck they will scrap the idea.Good to see something fresh if you ask me.

It's fine if it's a failure. I would like to know how many workers it takes to fully saturate that block of 9. 12?
Also the main's scanner becoming unavailable unitl it's mined out is huge.

Also the main base mines out about 3 minutes earlier? Does that make Hydra bust vs stronger or weaker vs Protoss?
Does forcing Terran to tech for detection that is not a scanner at the main. That fact with quicker early game income might make cannon/zealot viable against Terran?

I love the exploration of this idea, but based on the scanner becoming unavaible might already make it an unviable approach. Perhaps 9x120 stacked and 9x1380 makes more sense for this approach. Players get to enjoy the same quick early game and when they're close to be saturated the stacked minerals are being emptied out. This way they don't get to abuse 18 fields, and it takes the turbo off for the need to expo early to not run dry. Also, and maybe more importantly, the main scanner becomes available before it starts mattering.

wow, not only did they reduce odyssey’s mineral stack to 9, they put a hallucinated mineral wall to prevent (or slow down?) protoss’ fastest map midbuild proxy 3gate zlot+cannon rush… i guess its too cancerous for people to learn to hold?

but i have seen flash hold 458’s full power un-nerfed midbuild 3gate zlot+cannon rush, even going CC first… was probably one of the most disgusting things i’ve ever witnessed on fastest map
