Btw... MC doesn't exactly have that much credit to back up his words seeing as how the farthest he's gotten is Ro32. I guess we'll have to wait and see how he does in the later stages. | ||

I'm pretty confident he has more credit than you, however. You merely presented an opinion, and you don't even play T or P, and then proceeded to downplay MC's. | ||

We just saw a better Protoss than him (past results-wise anyways) get knocked out by an seemingly-imba build. If it's really nothing to worry about MC better live up to his word and be able to hold it well. | ||

All I'm saying is MC's talk is just that, only talk. Of course I'm hoping he gets far and brings a P to the Ro4 finally. | ||

Futhermore, as you probably should know, he is a very respected protoss in korea and that counts for more than two tournament appearances, given the variance of both the game and the brackets. Indeed, the QQing amounts to just that - talk. There's little evidence or arguments presented besides Genius losing to it once after doing a greedy build and getting his colossus a few seconds too late. | ||

Oh, you know, besides Tester, Inca, Sangho all getting knocked out in qualifiers, no Protoss making it into the Ro4, etc, etc. Yea, no evidence at all. Anyways, I'm done here. I think you're trying to pick a fight for no reason other than to pick a fight. I don't even care if P gets buffs or not, I just want to see more even racial distribution in future seasons of GSL. | ||

That's some, though not sufficient, evidence for Protoss being too weak, not this build being too difficult to stop. Also Top, Nada and I'm sure some other good Terrans being eliminated in qualifiers is evidence of Terran being too weak, right? You are right I am picking a fight, but I tend to do that when people constantly complain (not you, the board in general) about a subject while not arguing the point very convincingly. e: also I've to say, besides maybe Genius, all the toss players that have been eliminated in GSL 3 so far deserved to lose based on their play | ||

Toss have only 1 route to go against Terran and its way to predictable on sucha high level. If Terran spots Archives they can always switch Stargate from reactor to tech lab and punish them hard. Its not the balance that is killing Toss right now, its predictability if you compared it to Terrans | ||

Also, look at the map geometry. Genius's build would have been much safer on a different position, like the 9 o'clock, because his buildings would be positioned further from T's tanks. He didn't factor that into his building placement - why would'nt you place your robo as far from your entrance as possible, when colossus have no pathing issues? Well, he didn't, and the result was that he lost a third colossus right as it should have popped out. | ||

If he'd had that colossus he almost certainly would have held the push, since the marines and scvs would have gone down easily. People are so busy whining about balance that they don't actually watch the VOD in detail and try to note the little things that make or break a game. Also, look at the map geometry.

Instead of just blindly assuming that Genius was the stronger player, which I really doubt given Rain's immaculate macro and micro, maybe people should be more critical of their hero Protoss. | ||

With storm you have to engage the push in the middle of the field-- when I have tried this and let the terran get to my nat, they will make 4-6 bunkers and your storm will be nullified. If you get a few good storms off and had dumped your minerals into chargelots, you have a pretty good shot. the banshees should be dealt with afterward by warping in additional stalkers afterthefact or via feedback if you have dealt with the marines or your ht's have low energy and won't have time to save for storm (the banshees don't have cloak so they'll be nearly 1 shotted by feedback) This option is nullified if the terran scans your twilight and pushes out earlier than he would have liked, however. So, hide it. The second option, rushing for colossus on two base is a little safer but if you don't have range finished by the time the push rolls into your natural (as we saw in genius' game), the tanks will be able to fend off your ~2 collosi pretty easily. Basically you need the terran player to miscontrol (ie libero vs genius) or have 2 collosi with range and a decent number of gateway units to absorb hits. You can do it, but a lot of your CB will be invested in pumping collosi and collossus range so you really have to be pumping 5-6 gates with no CB and have perfect macro (never missing cycles or pylons). Void rays might work but it would be very tough to pull off since marines are extremely cost effective vs voids. I have even tried blindly countering it against a player I knew did the push every game with carriers as a last ditch attempt against it.. that failed miserably as my 3 carriers looked bad ass but the interceptors were melted before they got many kills at all I'm curious to see how JMC plans to fight this play if he actually encounters it. | ||
