EPTThere are only 2 explanations for that build. One is he got cocky and tried to be cute by showcasing every tech Protoss has. The other is he got PTSD of the 5 6 Fac meta so he went for way too many safety measures before Carriers.

The scarabs seem to only do damage like 5% of the time when you drop fully behind because of the travel distance. You'd think they'd know not to do it by now. Especially since Rain saw mini's army move out with his obs. Such an opportunity missed. thats why flash is the best protoss lol | ||

Thought he’d fake out Speed with arb+gateway man then spring the carriers on him. Prob thought Speed was a lot more crippled than he was. | ||

Just do the Bisu quick ground/arb max out or do the Mini quick carriers and A move to victory. I’d love to know what snows reasoning for doing what he did. Why SnOw has to play like Bisu or Mini? He was not wrong, just Speed was good at the game. You don't know the strength of combo Arbiter + Carrier Carriers do so much damages Arbiter can protect Carriers, and recall to attack and defend everywhere in the map. I think Arbiter + Carrier will be meta in the next SSL. Remember KSL, every almost lose game, Protoss players just bought some Carriers and came back so easily. With Arbiter, Carriers x2 strength. | ||

I mean, sure if you have a critical mass of carrier. But he went a little bit of everything and ended up with nothing. | ||
