EPTWell I guess we'd have one 30% Protoss player, but Protoss currently is really lacking a tournament winning caliber player

Usually has one player be greedy with a fast expo while the other rushes, and the person who rushes wins most of the time. Agreed. Plasma produced relatively poor games (and I really like unusual maps). TvZ, Terran wins almost always and opens always the same (Vulture > Wraith). PvZ is a bit more dynamic, but not really great. | ||

I mean if only one of these two games happened so far Id be okay but Im really really disturbed by what he is doing thus far. That 2 stargate build 1 corsair build after citadelt before gate was the weridest shit Ive ever seen a pro do. That is legit completely unreal to me.. | ||

Best was in a hole with the failed cannon rush. His build there wasn't bad but it was hard countered by Zero's spireless build. The idea is you go fast citadel with 2gate speedlots, trigger muta switch, then punish with double SG sairs. It's a good move to pull out every now and then. Once he saw hydras at Zero's nat he knew his build was countered. You can't make sairs against that so he had to ditch his second SG. I actually thought Best played all right given how bad of a spot he was in. He also lost a shuttle that is huge in the mid game. | ||

The point of the build is to bait zerg into going mutalisk by showing a gateway/citadel opener and then switch into mass corsairs. Here's a game vs soulkey where best uses this build and it works as intended In todays game when he moves out with the zealots he sees that queen is going mass hydra rather than mutalisk so then he decides not to build corsairs. | ||

Why is he building one cannon when he scouts the zerg composition? If he build 2 or 3 he is completely fine.

Or maybe by looking this game its the case of two chockers being pit against each other :D | ||
