You meant any P opening that late probe scouts / skips zealot / when P doesn't find the Terran before deciding to skip the zealot? The tank time is the same or even faster than with rax CC open. The bunker is ready in time for the first goon, the scvs can prevent a runby until there's enough marines in the bunker. There's no answer to a fast zealot, but if P never made a zealot, terran is just really ahead. It is risky, but saying it only works vs 12nex is a bit much. On the series: Bisu doesn't have good engages in PvT outside of the early game, and he never had them, so the result is not surprising. | ||

Stop feeling hopeless about PvT, there's plenty of ways P can fight back these solid macro terrans. If onlinestats are taken acount, Bisu is clearly behind Best, Rain, Mini and Snow (who has currently best winrate against terran acording eloboard.net) in pvt. With that being said, Light seemed to have good read on how Bisu was going to play. Looking to it now, I think Light genuinely would rather face Rain than Soma. | ||

Not sure he was even ahead. Maybe slightly ahead before the first big push but that was it. Supply flattered to deceive in that game because his army was pure goons and zealots with 1 Arbiter. Problem is the map is favorable for Terran to defend and expand (hence they always pick it first in TvP). I'd imagine if it was Polypoid Bisu would've busted the 3rd expo at least. After that first push the game was slowly going downhill for Bisu even with his huge bank. The idea was to starve Terran of resources with good trades but Light never allowed Bisu to take one. In recent ASL there was a very similar game between Light and Snow: same split map situation, no weak points from Terran, and Snow kept recalling in vain. In hindsight maybe only a Carrier switch would prove fruition for Protoss. Idk. | ||

Rain: you need to memorize and count the amount of scvs upon arriving in T's base(which he did while prepping for Eclipse). This way you can tell if T is doing 2 rax and change your build from there. This is knowledge he picked up from losing to Last a long time ago on Match point in ASL ro4 | ||

Light thought he was dreaming when he saw an arbiter at 11 minutes right when Bisu was ready to crash his army. He figured Bisu must have had 170 supply but after checking the replay he couldn't believe it was 200/200 supply. He goes on to say most terrans can't stop Bisu's 1a2a3a build even if they know it's coming. The way to have a fighting chance against it is to be at least 150 supply when the toss comes to 1a2a3a into you. Also, you need to have your +1 done, arbiter has to use stasis so toss can't recall, and a 4th cc built ready to float after the fight. If all four objectives are met you're ahead of toss at that point. At 14min if the recall that fell didn't destroy his cc, he would have went on the offensive to push out to kill 9 oclock, tosses front Nexus and mineral only. But due to his cc being destroyed, he was at an economical disadvantage so he split map. Normally with his practice partners, he was able to split map and push out to kill expos but against Bisu he was on full defense mode because Bisu's game movement speed was extremely fast. | ||

The disrespect on Rain Literally one of the most successful players in the modern BW Era He can beat Light, soma is clearly the bigger threat | ||

I actually think he's the sole bright light in the current batch of Protosses. His PvT is relatively weak, always has been. Today, especially given that he knows less about the meta than guys like Light who haven't stopped playing the game. I'd argue that his PvP and PvZ is considerably superior to his PvT. And this ASL has some of the worst protoss maps when it comes to PvT. So there's no reason to be confident that Rain will do well against Light. If you believe a lot in the mental aspect of the game, then sure, Rain has the edge, always has (except against Flash ofc). I don't care much about that aspect in a Bo7, even if stakes are high. | ||
