Yeah, TvP, balanced, sure. What some people don't realize is that Genius is an AMAZING player, his oponent never unplayed him, just cheesed him in a way that the best protoss in the world can't defend. G1, Genius scouts the cheese, anyways he lost. G2, Genius scouts the 1 base play, still, lost. And don't talk crap fanboyism about "he must watch more day9", these guys practice and brainstorm 12 freaking hours per day

Well there goes the best Protoss in the GSL. Really, really hoping GuineaPig can win his games against Leenock.


Well, yeah, this is NexGenius's fault here. Remember, during State of the Game, Idra said that NexGenius wasn't that good, he was just greedy with his economy and soon, players will start figuring out his timing windows to exploit that.

It looks like they've started figuring it out. NexGenius really had a piss poor army when Rain attacked.



No, first, idra is smart but hes consistantly terrible at judgeing other players, two, HOW IS 2gate ROBO expand greedy!


he stayed on 2gate robo for way too long, i think he added a 3rd gate but too long after the terran had 3 rax 1 star 1 fact constantly producing units.. you simply cant get enough to defend that push being that greedy

Yes, because whenever you play a 1 base noob you just camp on 1 base until he expands, right? Jesus christ...

1 base terran > 1 base toss, Terran could very easily siege up outside and contain for a long time.

Why are you asking me a question?
You think Genius played well?
You would think playing on the Korean server where banshee+marine timing pushes originated from would help him out, but I suppose not.

Also it's funny how you're calling TSL_Rain '1 base noob'. I guess it's better to be a '1basenoob' than a 2 base and still lose.
Keep QQ'ing.

This.

Not talking balance, but if this keeps up how would they fix it?


IMO make workers take double damage if they're more than a certain distance from a nexus/CC/hatch. Still good for defending, no good for these boring rushes.


Yes limit Terran more. That makes the most sense right? Scv's already got their hp nerfed. They're fine as they are.


It's not about limiting Terran for the sake of limiting Terran. The fact is right now the Terran game is being largely self limited to stupid SCV rushes, get rid of them and then we can see where the rest of the game balance lies.

Wait until players find out how to stop these pushes, istead of putting ideas that make no sense in the game


Unless you play Protoss, shut the fuck up.

why should i. Really grow up there is no need for that. I said wait and see where the balance lies and u tell me to shut up, nice to see u how represent Protoss so well.


Well you can't really blame him. Toss isn't doing so well in these past two GSL's, and the added effect of getting a favorite knocked out by cheese is just...

Yes I can, no one should respond to a reasonable post with sheer rage like that.

The problem isn't one of balance necessarily, it's on incentives. If you can win 50% of your games in the early game you should never use any other strat, because you can practice 3 times as many short games as long games in the same time, thus giving you the edge on anyone who practices long game strategies as well.

All-ins and rushes should be possible, but they should have a significantly less than even chance of success. Right now they do not, and that's why we see so many of them.


You, sir, are correct.

Almost positive Blizzard said protoss was getting nerfed in the next patch. Storm in particular.

Either way I don't think any racial imbalance lost these games for genius. He lost to some all-ins (kinda.. mules make that though to say) that were very poweful and which he didn't have the best responses to.


You be trollin'? Storm is quite useless vs Zerg atm and semi-usefull vs Terran (unless they don't use stim and stay on one spot). As much as I love toss I wouldn't be able to take another nerf(hey Blizz, how about you make the Stalker useful again, eh?) .


I agree on the zerg bit, however storm is very useful with the amulet upgrade against terran so i don't know how you get off saying it's only semi-useful.

Buffing stalkers would just make 4 gate more powerful than it already is

I think we should go back to a nice quote from HongUnPrime back in his qualification interview.

One of many reasons for Genius lost in the second game is his scouting. Only make one ob and left it at his mineral line to defend the banshee. He should have made another one. I dont know about the English stream, but on the Korean stream the casters particularly pointed this out. They switched to Genius vision and so people that Genius has no idea what Rain is doing.
He was playing blind and payed for that.

he knew before the game even started that terran would do a timing push and most likely when he saw banshee uncloaked he knew exatly which timing push it was so he pull out his best strat against this as he most likely intended to win the game

But you have to agree, when you put all that money and gas into one unit and misscontrol that single unit you lose sooo much. More stalkers/zealots/sentries would have been better.

But without the Colossus the Marines would have owned him.


Too oversimplified. Since T had so many banshees, Genius needed a billion stalkers to keep his colossi alive. Everything in T's army countered mass stalkers. This means colossi won't work. Honestly, if he goes for any other tech choice, or no tech at all, he would've had a perfectly fine army for holding that push. Chargelots and immortals would have gg'ed it.

He saw the factory with techlab. He saw the starport and the banshees. I'm pretty sure he knew EXACTLY what was coming and almost when it was coming.

Chargelots?

So. Robo bay and templar tech and charge. And immortal production.

OH. You forgot the ANTI AIR he needs to beat off the banshees AND raven. -__-

It was no All-In. He pulled only half his SCVs

GG Protoss

it was definitely all in... if that attack doesnt inflict significant damage he loses, no question about it

It was 8-9 SCVs, and that attack was not going to fail. The worst that would happen is the P would barely hold it off and T would be able to contain, but the chance of getting at least the natural expansion and being able to safely expand himself made it so that I really wouldn't consider that an all-in. It's like... 10pool vs 16hatch, you can consider it an all-in because you have to deal damage, but the chance to deal damage is so high that it really isn't an all-in imo.

Its an all in build. I cant believe this is even being disputed. He had no CC building and genius had colossus tech, an expo and like 40 probes. If that attack ends in an army trade or even 20 probes + army trade, then he loses

You can say w/e you want. But Genius his army was at the wrong spot. If he had is army UP in his base, he would never have lost that initial collosus (sniped when it came out). And he wouldnt have lost his robo bay. The terran would have had to run very carefully because the Collosus + stalker forces the army to run away from the cliff.
This means that there wouldnt have been sieged tanks near the cliff. Etc etc etc.

If he wouldnt have expanded he would have won. His army was better than that of the terran.

Genius knew precisely what was coming, and that was almost certainly his standard counter that he's practiced against every ladder T that does it.

Still got rolled.
