Seriously, this game was ruined because you can't engage Planetary Fortresses. There were 5 Colossi against a Planetary Fortress and 10-12 Barracks units, and it couldn't be broken. It's just ridiculous and it really does just ruin a flow of a game.

Then don't attack the Planetary Fortress.

You can't complain about a unit when Fenix was 3/1 and Kiwi was 0/0/0. Kiwi was very clearly outplayed there, tactically and strategically.

planetary fortresses are really showing how insane they are throughout this entire tournament.
also, has anyone even used high templar yet?


No, each time that Kiwi was making a push, it was the army / siege tanks that were holding the push back. Fenix could have been repairing an orbital and kept that expansion after the first two pushes that Kiwi attempted.

Kiwi really need more creativity in his play, other than repeatedly smashing his head against fortified expansion. Props to Fenix, awesome multi-pronged attack/harassment.

I was rooting for Kiwi but.. saying Fenix didn't deserve that win would be retarded. Great player for sure, surprised we haven't seen him more in SC2.

He's too busy winning in BW as well. =p

regardless of any balance discussion, planetary fortresses make for really boring play.


I hate PF's as much as the next guy but it really did make for a good game there. The PF was the center of all the action and allowed Fenix to run around and harass to his heart's content.

Ignoring balance, I think the PF was actually a *good* addition to that game.
It is a good day to die.

Stop balance whining.

He shouldn't have attacked it over and over.

Kind of awkward words to end on : /
EDIT: BTW, does anyone know if there will be vods? Went to sleep just before it started, woke up to catch the last 3 sets, but I really want to catch Huk's games.

rofl @ anyone who says Kiwi is a good player after seeing this botch of a drop defense. Also no pylon at the rocks, (even though Fenix didn't attack them this game).


Kiwi is amazing, most likely top 5 protoss in the world. I think passing out under the table is a bigger factor here.

Kiwi is not even close to top 5. Are you kidding me? There were at least 5 protosses in GSL that were better, and that's not including people like huk and whitera. What I watched today was really disappointing.

He can't expand, he can't split up his army at all, and he's completely inflexible. Just get chargelots and tech to storm, and then you can rape all the MMM and the tanks. Problem solved. But he refuses, sticks with phoenixes to defend his colossi and gets run over because he cant figure out how to split his army into, gasp, two control groups.

Also makes only one observer so he can't even spot drops. GG.

I said that in my interview with SGL like 2 weeks ago
I'm amazed how well he did in that last game though. Especially after having both hellion harass denied COMPLETELY.

Fenix likes to go "Hey if ur gonna 1a your entire army, im just gonna trick you with a drop while i kill your nexus."

Hopefully players will move away from the 1 control grp syndrome soon and have some better defense


The problem is that different races strongly differ in the effectiveness of little groups of units. It's hard for Protoss in PvT to split up because his forces are significantely weaker than in a big ball (unless they've got HT's of course^^)

Yes, I agree, PF + repair is too strong... Blizz should make the repair for PF cost like 4x as much or something to balance it.
