The only known way to beat it is the very risky Stargate into fast phoenix's first and hope the terran is bad enough to let his banshees die without marine support. 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 ;( The actual counter to it is building cannons. | ||

My friend from work didn't qualify for GSL2 as well. He was a protoss player and lost to some Korean Terran kid in the first round. | ||

But don't worry Tester fans, his quarterfinal appearance in GSL1 should be enough to get him at least an A-Class rating so he'll certainly get a pass into the tournaments next year. | ||

Tester's a high-quality player, no doubt, but it is too much to entertain the possibility that maybe Kim Byung Jun is just better? It is. GSL1 had several large upsets in the early rounds - where the winner went on to play really poorly. | ||

Probably just cheese or, as the ever-euphemistic Korean eSports media calls it, a "unique timing rush". Note: "cheese" not used to blast Tester's opponent. A win's a win duders. Not sure, Tester is like the ultimate anti-cheese. On October 12 2010 07:29 NoiSeN wrote: Ki Su* not Gi^^ In Korean there isn't a distinction between these 2 sounds. | ||

Shame to see him get knocked out. I wonder if it was the same strat that we saw in the youtube vid (thanks for that btw), 1 medivac, 8 marines, mass ravens for autoturrets, and banshees. | ||

Especially after i saw one of their "balance team" employee match history. He was bronze 1 v 1 gold 2 v 2 diamond 3 v 3 How they can balance a game with so little experience in 1 v 1 ?  What? link please. | ||
