No Protoss in Ro4 would be kinda shit :/

Well I guess we'd have one 30% Protoss player, but Protoss currently is really lacking a tournament winning caliber player
My heroes: Jangbi, Bisu, Stork and BeSt for BW, Rain, Zest and Stats for SC2! Need a better Signature tbh...

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.

KCM Race Wars and Ultimate Battle's Plasma games are worth watching. Almost always some interesting games and long macro ones, too.

I got to check those out then. Feel like there's too many quick 3-0's

Queen's playing properly, Best is sadly choking, nothing new so far.

best had 1k minerals 500 gas in the mid early game.. I meant what precisely is this? Is he throwing these games? Why is he building one cannon when he scouts the zerg composition? If he build 2 or 3 he is completely fine.

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..

Can some1 explain to me what happened there. I _really_ dont get it.


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.

I missed a few minutes here and there, did a single thing go right for Best today? Any time where he gained some kind of advantage? Like maybe he killed a drone with a zealot...?

Seems like its really hard for toss to break the lurker contain assuming the zerg spreads out the lurkers. There's just not enough storms for the amount of hydra's and lurkers thrown at the toss defense. Is reaver play considered too dangerous due to shuttle snipes?
