Kiwi was very clearly outplayed there, tactically and strategically. Yep, if you watch how tester defends against that stuff he splits his army and has incredible scouting to know exactly when the drops are coming in, all while putting constant pressure on his opponent and actually remembering to upgrade. Fenix was simply allowed to run rampant that game, there was no attempt by Kiwi to harrass his natural or his 4th, he just kept going after the gold which had PF+tanks defending the whole time. | ||

Fenix outplayed him with several feints that Kiwi bit on every single time. Yup Kiwi willingly sat a base behind and allowed Fenix to bleed him dry with awesome harass while out upgrading him. If we want to talk about balance, the only thing that game reinforced is that marauders do a lot of damage vs buildings, maybe too much But Kiwi got completely and utterly outplayed. Not that he played bad per say, Fenix just played that good | ||

Yes, you generally need a massive advantage to walk into a superior force and destroy his primary mining base. It's the only AoE terran has in that matchup, because tanks are nullified by phoenixes. The PF wasn't even hitting anything, Colossi outrange it. It was just a building being repaired half the time. | ||

His main was mined out. Killing his main would have been less than efficient compared to trying to stop a gold. Plus if he attacked the main, the terran would have just ran into the toss's gold expo and take that out leaving the toss's eco in the ditch. Actually forget that last part, it didnt matter what Kiwi did, cause the mobility of a terran just steamrolls any sort of strategic play that kiwi could do. | ||

Well, in BW terran isn't allowed to split his army up into small squads to take out bases and still defend his own expansion. ;P | ||

Blizz should make the repair for PF cost like 4x as much or something to balance it. how can you conclude that from that game is beyond me. The colossi one shot like 10 scv at once from afar, how can mass reapir be the problem here. Balance QQers are swarming everythread saying the same thing even when it's 0% relevant just makes themselves 0% credibles. TLDR : you hurt yourself and your "cause" | ||

Ehm? It's not the damage the Planetary Fortress deals that ruins the game, it's the flow that is ruined. If it was an Orbital Command and not a Planetary Fortress, Kiwi would have won there and then. 5 Colossi and 5 Stalkers would have beaten the non-Planetary Fortress expansion and the forces, and it would have been down to 2v3 bases, or 2v2 bases if Kiwi's gold was countersniped. I'm not discrediting Fenix- he did what any Terran would do, periodic drops, spam MMM, make Vikings to rape Colossi. He played like any other Terran would do. Some of his drops got smashed, some of his army got caught out of position multiple tims. His play was okay. Kiwi could only beat Fenix's composition with Templar though, and Templar are a tough unit to mass. | ||

To outheal the damage of 5 Colossi it requires 228 minerals every 1.65 seconds. That's not "all of your money". Yes, but don't forget, you're also not mining from that expansion. So you're technically an expansion down while using all the SCV's to repair if needs be. It's only because Fenix was already another base up that he could properly afford that and also continue producing out of all his structures. | ||

It's just sick how good they are. You'd need around 10~ Cannons to have the same lifespan of a Planetary Fortress, which would cost 1500 minerals compared to the 150/150 of the Planetary Fortress. They're just a boring thing and totally destroy any game flow. Back and forth games are fun, that game was going to be back and forth - and then the Planetary Fortress went up and that was game over. If you can't attack an expansion, that's ridiculous. It's not like he could have moved his 8 colossus one step closer, but still out of range and sniped the SCVs rather than trying to outdamage their repairs amirite? Fuck, it's not like he could have made two void rays from his stargates when he had air control either? That people actually whine about retarded play against a planetary fortress that's easy enough to counter is just pathetic. | ||

Yes, because Planetary fortresses poop out armies if your production buildings get destroyed. I think that upgrade is like 25/25 and researched in an ebay. | ||
