Pretty sure that was the game TLO actually won. I could be wrong, though,

I don't think he actually used them, the marines shredded the immortal that came out and it was showing not on cooldown a second later.

was like the worst build possible against the thor rush. expo, collosus tech and sentry heavy warpgate units.
Did you see how far back that armory was? And that the thor was almost at his base when Genius' observer got to the front of the base?

Yeah true, but only a few, was mostly marines because of the void rays.

So hard to watch as a toss player.
He won two games. I think that "might" indicate that he's on the same level at least

I want to see a real TvP, not this kind of play we've seen so far :/

He did use them. Whether it was necessary is another question.

No. Strike Cannons might be good against one fast immortal, but they are really bad against enough Immortals to oneshot your Thors as seen in the TLO game.

heyy im curious when did the announcer voice change from the chick?? havn't been keeping up with the gsl lately. On topic EPIC THOR RUSH!! =D
|
That is such an interesting build from Rainbow, and it makes so much sense since Thors can trample ForceFields.
I still want NexGenius to win, though . Come on! Give us at least one Protoss in the Semifinals! D:

Like I said, TLO attempted the exact same thing.

it could've been just a MM all in with scvs. Can't know for sure until observer checks base and sees armory.

He could not have known there was a Thor on the way. Scv's could've just been for bunkers or meat shield.

he knows he can't beat genius in the long run so he cheese lol =/.

So does thor step on FFs or not?

He used it, but he had the game won already, so the 'who said its useless?' argument is pointless.

It's really hard to deal with this cheese, because you have to target all the scv's manually...
