How the f¨*ck can you even imply nerfing marines? Terran is the most unpowered race out there is right now. Protoss might be doing semi-bad in the GSL for the moment. but it's 100% due to few P qualifying to ro64 ..

Althought i agree that i don't think marines need a nerf there is so much wrong with what you said in your post that it made me lol.

1) Terran is the most UP race at the moment.
2) Basing your view of Protoss on the number that qualified.. that doesn't prove anything - you could just as well say so few P's qualified because marines are OP or P is UP.

Anyway - no more balance talk please, it is really annoying

The reason why marine build time, reactor build time, and scv hp all got nerfed was the early scv+marine "cheese rush" that was rampant in Korea during early beta. It's impressive how it's still so effective after all those nerfs as well as the recent supply depot/rax change.

Back to GSL talk, Nestea's Ling micro was the best I have ever seen in sc2 so far. Sen didn't play badly, and both games were fairly close, but it was still clear that Nestea is the better player, at least in ZvZ. Tough luck for Sen.

Genius made some mistakes in the second game and made a crucial one in the first game. But even without the mistakes in game 2, he would most likely lose. Genius scouted everything and responded very well. Getting stalkers at the back and getting colossi as he saw many marines. Yea, he could have gotten that last colossus out but honestly, you think that ONE colossus would be able to do enough damage against all those tanks and SCVs on auto repair with banshees as well? TSL Rain just did A+Left Click and then managed his banshees while Genius has to pull off 600+ APM micro to be able to survive that. That kind of difficulty is what damages the Protoss a lot because it's the most micro-intensive race in the game IMO where one slip up usually costs you the game whereas Zerg and Terran can make a couple mistakes and still be in the game. Honestly, what could Genius actually do in order to fend that off and not suffer a lot? Only thing that pops up would be to completely switch his tech to Phoenix+Void Rays+Stalkers or two of the three.

I still have hope for Protoss though. TSL GuineaPig is still alive. Now if he loses, I will go berserk and will be 100% convinced that Protoss needs a buff or a change in its tech tree to make it easier for them to get an observer out.

Do note that Sen

1. Was the attacker in both games

2. Almost won both games.

When you take into consideration that in ZvZ, whoever ATTACKS has to play better, considering the massive advantage you get when defending, that NesTea may not be better, but had better results in THAT series.

If NesTea attacked Sen instead, I think the outcome might have been the opposite. Being able to reinforce your army instantly as opposed to traveling across the map is massive.

And by logical extension few Protoss qualify for ro64 because they suck. Same reason very few are in top 10 on ladders. Race got to many nerfs. Everyone knows this.

Why is everybody talking about game 2 only? It was game 1 that Genius should have won after scouting proxy. But he had horrible micro, and got caught with his stalkers in 2 places by the marine/scv push. Normally if you scout that as toss its 90% win. He also got probes out in the fight way too late, after most of his stalkers died.

If he would have won game 1, it would be a totally different story i'm sure. His morale, confidence everything would have shifted towards the rest of the series.

My guess is he let protoss UP discussions get into his head and didn't focus on winning regardless of balance. Or he just had a bad day. Sad though, wished for more protoss to advance.



The thing about game 1 is that it's really difficult to go against marine+SCV. Correct me I'm wrong, but I think SCVs can take 5 stalker shots, 3 zealot shots, and 9 sentry shots. Plus they build/repair bunkers. Marines have a high DPS, but low HP. The SCV tank nullifies their low HP.

It was really weird when Rain was coming with all those marines and SCV and Tastosis were saying how Genius was in a good position while he only had 2 stalkers. It's obvious that they know relatively little about how protoss works.

He was in a good position because warp gate was almost finishing, a third stalker was coming out, and Rain only had 2 marines heading towards Genius's base. If Genius was able to save that third stalker and snipe the two marines coming with the SCVs, rather than getting his third stalker surrounded, and pulled his two other stalkers to the front earlier, he might have been able to hold. By pulling probes to engage the scvs, he could allow his stalkers to engage the marines and in a straight up marine v. stalker batter the stalkers easily win. Not only that, but Genius allowed the bunker to go up, which essentially spells gg.

Long story short, Genius could've held, but bad positioning of his initial two stalkers, along with what I believe was a rally error with his third stalker cost him the game.

EDIT @ Mindtrix: LOL how the hell is Terran the most UP race atm; I hope you're trolling.

This isn't really a valid point. You can say the defender has the advantage for ANY matchup. Also the attacker has its own advantages such as dictating when the battle is going to happen (IE in game 1, sen got quick banes and attacked before nestea had banes), and potential element of surprise (IE: slipping through defense to harass drones). I actually find in ZvZ its usually advantageous to attack first.

In other words, Sen's BO was designed for him to be the aggressor. It doesn't make sense to say that if Nestea attacked Sen instead, the outcome would be different. Sen played great though, but Nestea just played better.

if anyone is interested: i made an excel spreadsheet with stats and game summaries cuz im an excel nerd

[image loading]

some interesting stats:

- zerg is 0-4 vs terran on jungle basin and 1-5 on delta quadrant
- pvt is the shortest matchup on average, tvt obviously the longest
- games on blistering sands and steppes of war are less than 10 minutes on average

although of course the sample size is very small

Yeah you used to get a lot of snide comments from Artosis before the zerg-buff, because he played zerg, but you get nothing of the sort while protoss is getting exposed and destroyed left and right.
