And here I thought I was cool and unique by doing basically this build for my PvT. (except I like to get out 5-6 phoenix to deal with drops as well around the mid game, as well as deal with smaller groups of vikings in fights).

I honestly do almost the exact same opener, with gate+stargate+robo and everything.

I'll have to try out Rain's follow up though. Typically the 10 minute timing is super easy to hold, but the 3 base timing is really hard. I've been trying to do a 1 collo no range into storm transition (which has worked nicely, in my experience. [Mid-High masters])

Protoss is the girly race.

Yesss, yesterday I lost like six PvTs because my builds are so haphazard. I feel bad for the other races, not getting all these amazing strategy guides.

Hellyeah!


That's for sure. I love this new style/indepth review of games. Simultaneously super professional and still an exciting read (I missed the actual game). So pumped keep 'em coming!

For anyone interested, the Innovation-Rain game is the only free and English game linked in the OP.

Great article. Well done.

I think this article should be mentioning Grubby rather than Mana and Feast since he is by far the biggest oracle user and has shown this in a lot of tournament games already.


Do you know of any particular Grubby games off the top of your head that I/we could check out? I've been dying to see some brilliant/aggressive Oracle play outside of the usual Oracle openings.


He uses them in the usual way but I think that he is very good at it. Grubby vs Lucifron in the Eizo Cup finals on Newkirk District: Grubby killed 6 SCVs and a good number of marines just with one stalker and one oracle. Grubby vs Polt during Dreamhack. I'm not sure but I think he used oracles vs Krass in his WCS games on Whirlwind.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

Do we need more guides for Protoss? Protoss is already so obvious dominated at the moment in SPL. Why we dont do more for the Terran?

BLARGH.

Just as I was trying to learn Terran, Protoss pulled me back in.
