Just because cool says something doesn't make it automatically true. The problem in PvT is that it is the only match up where somebody with noticeably lower skill can beat someone that is much higher caliber. (ignoring mules and marauders, problems roots come from some imo overlooked gas costs of toss units/structures. For reference: watch any TvP that has a bio focus @ ~135 food each. The Terran will have usually well under 1/3 (a third) of the gas amount in army, and still be able to be equal in just a straight up fight). | ||

Were you nervous? ▲ After I saw the match table, I only wanted to avoid getting steamrolled (note: the nuance is that he thought he was going to lose). In the first match I used one of my favorite strategies that works well on people who have never seen it, and luckily it worked and I won. Sounds like an admission of cheese, not that it's a sin. This just shows that the game is new and there are a lot of hard hitting timing/all in pushes that are being discovered. These players probably won't make it to the Ro16 but they can take out some big names in prelims and Ro64 if the build is poorly scouted or confusing enough. The last cast by HD about theWind getting hurt by a Raven opener seems like that as well. TheWind scouts, prepares for banshees and then gets surprised by ravens and doesn't seem to know what to do about it. | ||

But this is only the begining because phoenix are worthless vs Marine and im 70% sure that PDD cancels out Phoenix fire as well you need something to deal with the Marines because gatway doesn't work, especially if PDD is canceling all your stalker shots and marines have combat shield + stim. Colossus or Psi storm is required, but if the terran gets a Raven and his marine upgrades and attacks your base before you have a tier 3 solution to mass marine your screwed basically. Also your kind of forced into robo bay just because of the threat that he may or may not research cloak for his banshees which sucks. Really Really sucks ass for Toss everywhere that TesteR didn't make it, would have liked to see a solution to problems that i could use... but i guess not ;( | ||

I think I have seen more unexpected losses from Z versus T than any other matchup. Most of these are due to some timing push or all in (mostly 1 base) that was not scouted or misinterpreted. The TheWind game is one clear example, the Idra vs Silver game would be another where big names thought they were safer than they were, got hit by a 1 base push and die. | ||

Tester is the best Protoss player, if not the best player period... about a month ago. Things change. Strategies change. Lets see what this GSL brings. There will be seeds for 2011 | ||

I dont want to say that his opponent didnt deserve the win (he does deserve it) but I honestly doubt there's no weaker player than sSKS in the RO64. Main problem for me is I have no protoss left to cheer for  Any suggestions (dont like InCa that much)? | ||

I had a feeling it was going to happen to someone, with more people trying to qualify, a favourite for someone was going to get this | ||

T opens marine/marauder and is safe vs anything (if the map doesnt favor voidrays especially) whereas P has a more difficult time knowing what to do without getting a observer. | ||
