I’d love to see a Protoss play this like an island map.

Best seems to come in with the mindset that I'm gonna stick to my build and blind counter you if luck is on my side.

And Soma seems to come in with the mindset that I'm gonna do all kinds of tricks that rely on my opponent not getting information, instead of playing a standard game despite me being the better player.


I think this is not a bad strategy overall. It's a high ROI approach in PvZ. Claiming otherwise is a bit of an error. Soulkey himself has shown that it's a valid bedrock.

This game proves why Soma's tactic is superior to playing standard games. You play the match-up and the opponent. Sometimes the map as well. Everything else is bullshit.

I can’t believe a map with 4 island expansions seems to hard for protosses against Zerg.

Both guys are trying to mind game the other so hard the results often end up as a flipped coin. It's basically either greed or all in.

The only kind of island map that is bad for Zerg vs Protoss is the kind where you start on a 1-base island and have no means to fast expand. Others are just normal service. The kind of "island" maps with separated lanes (Monty Hall, Arkanoid, Death Valley) are actually good for Zerg.

I don't think this loss had anything to do with the map
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I guess it’s the fact they still have to be wary of the ling/hydra all in. But it’d be interesting to see a P play a little more defensive with reaver/cair and prioritise the island expos
