I kinda liked White-Ra before now, no longer do. 4 or 5 gating every single game?

Here i thought he was supposed to be a high level protoss.

Good thing Morrow is entertaining or I'd just leave, loving his defences.

Btw to all the Zergs out there, on Blistering you always keep your army at your natural. If he moves into your main instead of nat you can bring it back in time perfectly fine and probably even get a nice arc. Don't risk getting FF'd off your nat.

If you know your opponent does not know how to counter 4/5gate wouldn't you do it too?

4 gate yeah - sadly it's the best tac.

It's not that White-ra cant pull off anything better. That's just how the game is currently. Why use inferior tactics when you can win 1200 bucks ?

Morrow builds a ton of drones, and tries to get away without enough defence. White-Ra would actually be dumb if he didn't capitalize on that...

Maybe you should watch the amazing Homestory games from earlier today before you try and criticize White-Ra.

He's playing to win.

Remember when Morrow went 5rax reaper multiple games in a row? Playing to win.


Yeah, but the 5rax reapers were actually patched shortly after.


So?

If anything that makes it even worse.



I don't see what's wrong with WhiteRas play...

I can definitely understand why White-Ra wants to play in a way that he known will win, but that doesn't make it any less boring to watch. Morrow is the only excitement in these matches with some great defense and he tries so damn hard to hang on. I don't want to see a Protoss that just goes "Well my 1-base mega ball of units can beat you, so that's all I'm gonna do." That game on Shakuras was the same thing, only Morrow managed to come back after the first attack and White-Ra seemed to fall to pieces.

They're only great(somewhat, SOMEWHAT) because Morrow is such a beast at defense.

And for people saying "Oh, he's playing to win", that doesn't mean people can't be dissapointed in him.

White Ra is basically saying, by 5 gating 3 times in a row(after getting totally dominated in a macro game):
"I can't win vs Morrow in a macro game."

And that's what makes me, along with other people in this thread, dissapointed with White ra and his play this series.

He doesn't always do that... In this case I think it's a simple case of knowing your opponent. Morrow is a macro monster. He loves them drones. White-Ra just abuses this.

Also, of course, the maps:

- Close position on metalopolis
- Blistering Sands (did morrow actually pick this....................?)

On the Xel'Naga game white-ra won quite convincingly because morrow just made way too many zerglings for no apparent reason.

i have to agree, i loved white-ra for years(still do) but atm the only good thing about the last couples of games is MorroW hero defense

QFT. Morrow is scary. He'd be crushing most other protoss right now.

Plus white-ra is a beast at macro as well, he doesn't need to prove it to anyone; he needs to earn that dough and get his wife some nice things

I'm enjoying the games so far. It looks to me like morrow just needs to tweak his builds a bit more (less drones?) to hold off and take the lead.

Can't wait for the next game, such suspense! Will White Ra go for the 4-gate or mix it up with a 5-gate?!

And by Morrow being down 3-1, he's saying, I can't defend a 1-base push....

Because he prepared accordingly. He had 4 or even 5 spine crawlers up. He didn't have a single one on Blistering Sands.
