I don't think there's some amazing strategy that just hasn't been seen yet, though I really hope so, since Battle Royal has some really cool concepts. oh really? -_-;; Sorry. I kind of assumed that he had because his zvz is pretty good. Now that I think about it more, I guess yarnc has been winning on that map iirc. | ||

I actually do that too sometimes. Just because everyone says their twins, it makes a weird connection between them. | ||

I've asked it in every thread that's been made about battle royal, and haven't gotten a good answer yet...To reiterate the arguments that I've made in the previous 2 threads on the subject, I would think that you could get the easy two bases like on gods garden, and then your third is even further away zerg. It's an open map once you break out, but P gets to stay on 2 bases for basically the whole game, and the fact that the other bases are open should make a timing attack pretty viable (and make getting the third for P tough as well, but I don't think that the games would last that long). I also think that a 9/9 proxy in the middle would allow protoss to get the initiative, and if it dosen't do damage then protoss can take out the zerg assims, and leave the middle as a possible (although kind of dumb imo) double gas third. | ||

That's because there will probably never be a TvP and we'll never find out before it's gone :3 | ||

 5000+ posts in < 3 months. Holy shit dude. Great read, btw. Awesome insight on the map. I would lol if Woongjin and eSTRO rig the last match of Round 4 so it goes to the 5set and they set up a TvP or a TvT/PvP. Just to fuck with everyone :p BTW, ICCUP proves Zerg CAN lose on this map | ||

He went mass speed shuttle reaver/dragoon/zealot drop the whole game, urgh. | ||

I may be missing something here, but when I first really looked at the map I figured it'd be an impossible PvZ map simply because FE would be so vulnerable to lings, and 2 gate would be easily defended by zerg. If toss puts cannons at their small choke and kills the assims, zerg can get a decent sized speedling army early and crack the neutral buildings before the p can afford to lay down cannons to defend their nat+main. If you choose to try cannoning farther back the lings are free to harass either your nat or your main - whichever is least defended. If you 2 gate near your assims you can't really apply pressure with early zeals since it's so easy for zerg to kill their own assims. If you 1 gate tech you can probably defend your small choke early game, but zerg will scout everything you do, and respond accordingly. I just don't see how P has a chance without some ridiculous build like the one in Tempest vs RorO. | ||
