Still working on the polls! Should be done shortly!

No cast by BisuDagger or FlashFTW today. BD is doing other things and FlashFTW had some responsibilities to take care.

Corsairs engage on a cloud of overlords!!! They are pretty much unchecked

However Hero's army of cracklings, hydras and lurks ward off the heavy goon army

Speedlots arrive a little late to buffer for the goons, Protoss must retreat!

Lazy taps out!

Although defeated, a non-disappointing debut for the rookie Protoss.

Once they stopped explaining every damn unit, their casting has improved a lot. The only SC2 reference that game was that zergs don't have queens (well they have another kind but you see what I mean). Their first casts were too focused on explaining basic stuff and comparing BW to SC2.

sSak is good. Dont count him out. I would usually root for rain and hero, but considering the shortage of terran users this season a part of me want ssak to survive

Outsider is amazing, there was this game last week, I forgot now, Shine vs someone I think, best game in months. On Outsider, yes. Zerg was all turtle and dropping all over the map, it became scrappy at the end, aah, it was great to watch.

It's not a good game because it takes 40min for one player to win. They just both played really bad and made tons of mistakes.

Oh man I feel bad for Protoss on Outsider. Why don't Protoss do a normal forge FE on the gas nat, is the choke too big to wall off or something?


yes

and its really easy to get lurkers/tanks on that cliff, very hard to deal with

Rain had to play vs Z on Outsider, and Camelot really doesn't look that PvT friendly either (outside of rushes anyway). Nothing wrong with Rain, mostly just the maps I'd say.

Rain didn't perform too well.. I think he went for the fourth too quickly. He already invested heavily on making carriers from three stargates. If he'd delayed the fourth a bit and invested less on cannons and dt's, he should have been able to defend that push. I don't think it was the map that made him lose.

On the game vs hero he lost his reavers without using them well, he also lacked high templars and didnt do good job on harrassing. I'm not saying he had good maps for his match ups, but he definetly could have performed better.

I have to agree maps are not Protoss friendly.

However super glad hero made it out. I want him to win ASL 3 badly.
Disappointed that it had to come down to him or rain tho as rain is my favorite protoss player.

I was actually wondering why all Protosses don't just open corsair/reaver on Outsider. It provides so much pressure while getting a safe expansion up, and it's impossible for Zerg to 100% deflect it like on other maps. From there, you can hypothetically just turtle on cannon/HT until you have a pretty solid army.

Outsider may create more unusual and entertaining games, but if I had to play it in a major tournament as a protoss player I would be pissed. Its obviously imbalanced in favor of zerg. Camelot also looks like a great map for terran against either race, so Im hoping theyll introduce a protoss favored map for later rounds, but I doubt it lol.

Yea you're right, he did make some mistakes. When a map is favored towards one race I tend to focus on that being the reason they lost rather than any mistakes the player made during the game.

We should lobby for Desperado to make a return.

I don't hurry calling these maps protoss unfriendly. There were 12 protosses who qualified when Outsider used as map (although Camelot wasn't in pool) and more than twice low terrans.

I like to live dangerously.


I called Bisu and Jaehoon pretty confidently, but just as I start to recoup my losses Group D hits me. It was a toss-up for me between Rain/herO/sSak and therefore much harder to call, but based on his performance on stream lately I went with Rain.

I was not expecting sSak to go beast mode. Really good play by him today.

Happy that herO made it through, but I'm also disappointed that it happened off of Rain not playing well on Outsider. One of these days a Protoss player besides Bisu will do Sair/Reaver correctly and promptly break a good Zerg player on that map, but it was not this day.

Honestly although I was cheering for Rain, his play against HerO disappointed me. Despite Outsider being an excellent map for ferrying Zerg units across, Rain kept his Corsair count low and pretty much let Overlords go wherever they wanted, before eventually being forced into getting more Corsairs by Mutalisks. And instead of using the money to tech to High Templars which could defend against drops, he instead pumped out more zealots and dragoons.

It's no wonder he got harassed by drops at every turn.

This corsair expand thing doesn't make any sense to me, delay own expo against 3 base zerg just to force a couple of hydras? Idk maybe they're afraid of all-ins or something but they put themselves in losing position from the start every time

It was a really bizarre build, imo. I guess the difficulty of that map is that Zerg can do mutas, drops, or lurkers, so Protoss has a hard time finding the right tech path to deal with it. I personally like the suggestion by Tasteless to go one-base reaver and at the very least force the Zerg player into making a ton of defense early on while the jumpstarting your tech tree.
