This is going to be so sick. I say this every season(mostly to myself) but this is going to be the best GSL ever.

PF vs Colossi?

Also, it is impossible to spread vs storms and kite effectively at the same time. Since Korean terrans are so good splitting vs banes, there is no reason not to spread vs storms if it was actually effective. Problem is once you spread, the chargelots will just kill all the bio 1 by 1. This is different from banelings since each banelings hit also kills a banelings. With chargelots, they just kill a marine and move onto the next.

Squirtle and Mma to advance, spot on wax

It's reasonings like this that make me convinced that certain Protoss players don't give a damn about balance but were merely upset that no Protoss won tournaments back in the sad zealot days.

They don't really win these days either. MC is the only protoss who won a tournament in 2012.



Every professional stat protoss is behind. Win rates, tounament wins, representation, so all terran is left to talk about is annecdotal single games and they go crazy when protoss win. In thier mind protoss is never supposed to win I think.


Annecdotal games and also the fact that you won't find a single Terran that states that late game TvP is totally balanced.

OP's ist hella biased in my opinion.

Yes, as a protoss player I do admit,: Late Game PvT favors toss, even though it's not unbeatable (I fear blanket emp the most).
But, instead of only demanding stronger late game, terrans should start consider the overall matchup. Balancing the terran late game would mean, that they own protoss early game, have a slight edge in the mid and equal chances late game. That's not balanced aswell. Strenghten terrans late game also means that early and early to mid game has to be weakened. How are you going to accomplish that? Buffing mech? That would mean terrans get 2 possible late game paths (bio can still kill a protoss deathball) whereas protoss only has their 1-boring-deathball? that wouldn't be fair aswell. Making bio weaker makes protoss 2 base pushes stronger, also imbalanced.

So instead of complaining about toss, why not watch how the meta game evolves? Exactly the same thing terrans said to toss in the sad-zealot-period. 2 toss advances, protoss imba? What about the time we had almost no toss in GSL? Are the statistics favouring toss?Do toss win tournaments left an right? Squirtle was the only toss after pool play, think of that..

They should weaken Protoss late game and Terran early game. Put a buff to the bunker so we can hold protosses all ins a bit better and I would be happy with it. Or remove Protoss and redesign it but I think that's out of the question ! :D

Guys, Parting only wins the fight, because he has frikking much ht´s.le seemed to be at least more than 10. and only of ht´s he won. warping hts in requires no skill und pushing the t-button don´t do it too. ome on . it so freaking lame to see a toss army obliterating a terran ones, because of storm. And that in every lategame. And if terrans started playing allin games, because it has no sense for them to go to lategame, toss are whining and whining. Result: Blizzard nerfs terran units or Rax build time even more, that the toss is invited to 6gate or 1base colossi all-in us.
It makes no sense, it makes no sense.

If you buff the Bunker, I feel really sorry for Zerg players who have to deal with Bunker pressure constantly >_>

I say tweak the midgame a bit in P's favor and the lategame a bit in T's favor and you've got a better MU overall.

They might not but there are problems with that complaint when they don't spread and don't use ghosts well. When they do, I've seen Terran mow through a late game protoss amry with good EMPs just as much as the other way with storms. There is also late game unexplored issues like MMM has been mainstay for almost two years and needs to deveolp beyond that.

Annecdotal games from best TvPer in the world is like whining how imba terran is when MMA demolished Zerg. Doesnt wash.

The balance whine seems out of place. What is few weeks of P>T compared to few months of T>P right before current state?

i dont know all the whines of the EMP: it reduces the life in a toss army to 33-50%. All shield are away. Storm kills if u stay more than 2 sec in there ur marine and reduce the half life of ur marauder. AND DODGING storms is a lot more stressful than get a emp, because of no observer in front of ur army

I may not understand fully the TvP matchups, but to me, it seems like what happened late 2010 early 2011 when MC dominate all terran with his 1gate expo into 6gate burst, utilizing his imba FF usage. he looked unbeatable at times until terran figured out his timing and attack his weakness. i think the same is happening right now, what PartinG is doing does leave some holes in his defense, i believe mkp hit a nice timing a few times when playing vs parting.
this mu just needs some times to develop again. it has been forever since protoss last come up with new strats anyway.

Yeah and forget about Zerg. Zerg has the strongest late game (as long as they don't get flushed down the archon toilet). Weaken the protoss death ball breaks PvZ aswell...

Note that Protoss are playing extremly greedy recently (1 Gate (double) expand, Nexus first) without getting punished. Economical cheese is extremly hard to deal with withouth pressure. 1 rax gas(less) FE or double expand is not what i call a pressure build

That's the way I feel. It's new. Will get figuered out either by not letting PartinG get that far by finding holes in his game or a counter. It's not like they don't have the tools and do. MKP shows how to beat it often, you just have to be good, spread, use ghost/scans well.

The stupidest part about the TvP matchup is that it's been known to be broken for ages, people (including pros) were pointing out the late game issues over a year ago. The bigger maps and more and more P 'learning to play' (go HT AND colossus, not just one of the above) have just made it more and more noticeable.

P vs. T_T

I could'nt have made a better title. Even with godly micro, TvP seems unwinnable these days. The Protoss excuse "Yeah but if you play like a code S player, the MU is balanced" can no longer be used and I hope modifications will be made considering this MU.


eh, Oz was a surprise, but PartinG is one of those single handedly makes a matchup look imba guy :O


That , and every TvP i play on ladder. Its "keep protoss on 2 base or die trying" :D
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
