He had the best w/l ratio vs MMA (together with Hasuobs) in the entire tournament, which obviously makes him the 2nd best player in the tournament, right?
Good luck Targa! I would do a build centered around denying the expansion of a 1 rax CC. Most terrans build it on the low ground, 1 rax CC. Go some variant of pool first, maybe bring a couple drones too, and just aim on killing that CC.
People described Targa as someone coming totally out of the blue, but he has done very well at several tournaments. He did do quite well in the last NASL season, and he almost qualified through IEM Cologne open bracket; beating Ace and Oz, and even taking a game off MVPs mech style who went through to win the whole tournament. Targa has been doing good things for quite a while.

I heard your opponent going nexus first, double blocking pylons, skipping zealot is all luck and nothing about scouting was related to it
:-7 thats such a lie. You realized he was scouting 10 times with his probe who was constantly on targas side of the map AND even the stalker was about to go out and scout because he lost his probe who was scouting all the tme after like 3 minutes of constant scouting and checking if he really still makes the double expand or not...

How do you scout that? You can't scout that with a probe because queens, you scout it with a zealot or stalker, he would've moved out on the map with the stalker/zealot to scout and still would have lost because he had nothing back at home.
haters writing on your fan page omg ,what a sad life they have in there basements. WELL DONE YOUR WIN against hero. Just shows that you have got what it takes . good luck m8 WELL PLAYED GREAT SKILL

So obviously the mistake is NOT making the zealot you mentioned. He skipped it. You can queue a sentry after the stalker too. You can scout the natural because I don't think he makes a queen there (correct me if I'm wrong) for this strat. Perhaps losing the probe should in future cue the protoss to make a 2nd cannon? Just a thought. It's just a strategy and he won the game, so it was a good choice.
No point commenting on coinflips since so many players use them, even if it's a little less obvious sometimes. CC first as terran is technically a coinflip, as is nexus first.

As zergs have to build zerglings early on to find pylons/canons/hidden probes/early pressures, toss has to build a zealot to be safe. Thats all.

you can sit at the xelnaga with a probe and its literally an instant win. It was lucky sure, but hero still should not have lost. Its okay fanboy, some day he'll be good.
