4peat is cool - I don't think it will happen again anytime soon. That said, Soulkey looked beatable vs Snow and looked even worse vs Best. | ||

All the games he lost was due to failed early aggression. It was over after forcing 6 cannons and sniping the upgrading forge for free | ||

I will say, I really do hope these organizers stop punishing Protoss with these mappools. In what world does the weakest race routinely get punished by the map choices and that's a good thing. I hope this non-sense stops at some point. | ||

Never let games get to that stage, a failed, shitty timing attack is better than that... I kinda begrudgingly have to agree with this. Can't wait for eonZerg to get in and say that Protoss can play standard macro game vs Zerg and win. No shit, when you are 1 level ahead of the Zerg in overall skill. Otherwise, a significant early or mid game advantage, created by such brilliant or shitty timing attacks (depending on the build orders mostly), or a Zerg blunder created by himself (like a failed hydra bust or poor ling runby attempt), is prerequisite for Protoss to win. Snow already showed that on equal skill, playing safe vs Zerg = loss, albeit narrowly. Best is less skilled than Soulkey, so he pulled off some wins today doing wacky builds plus Soulkey giving it to him by being overly aggressive himself. But we see how hopeless Best was on the last two games with conservative play by both sides. | ||
