You could blame it on tester's game decisions, but only because MVP was so on the ball at scouting and reacting to them - so it is credit to him anyway. | ||

Jesus these LR threads are getting bad. Well if you can't put units at your expo ramp to stop that obviously it is imba didn't you get the memo. That was so funny though. MVP just had his scv go up the ramp, saw nothing and then just clowned on him. | ||

Jesus these LR threads are getting bad. Unfortunately I am starting agree a bit. I haven't been posting for terribly long, but the snowball of derailment or people not necessarily thinking through their comments as been on the up tick as of late. Hopefully its just a minor bump. | ||

Marauders have Stim and Conc shells which absolutely DESTROY Zealots and Stalkers. The Raven and PDD makes the Stalkers even more useless, and the SCVs simply provide even more time for the marauders to eat through the Zealots and Stalkers. Throw in a ton of blue flame helions and that makes pulling probes laughable, along with a ton of extra damage against Zealots as well. Everything in there is a massive counter to anything Protoss T1. I usually go early void ray + 2/3gate preassure on the terran. Granted I'm not masters but if terran tries to do any cute stuff that void ray attack simply destroys him. Gives you enough time to build robo afterwards/during attack and observers and expand maybe, even if attack is repelled. That's what I do usually. If terran tried to do too many marauders/hellions to all-in on you, void rays would simply destroy that army. Ok, now you have forced terran to do anti air stuff. The whole game is now different. Terrran can't just do huge marauder balls versus you now, but can he do huge marine balls either? Guardian shield + 1 base armor from protoss armies = 1/2 dmg from marines. Much more even playfield now. Or that's how I have figured it out. | ||

The stargate never payed off in the slightest, even a robo-bay would've been better there, I think. WhiteRa was one of the pioneers of stargate against Terran. Opting to go for relatively quick voidrays to force a lot of marines, then tech switching to chargelot/HTs to punish it. | ||

I like that, I don't think people should be able to get away with a blind fast expand as easily as they have most of the time in sc2 so far. Expanding should come at a risk and that hasn't been the case enough so far imo, P and T just blindly fast expand too much.. but now more and more players seem to figure out a way to time a push and win against it. I like that. | ||

You never know. Compare GSL1 to GSL4. Foreigners are really starting to impact SC2 pro gaming over there. I don't think we will have to necessarily wait too long before we have the opportunity to see a foreigner in the finals, or ever as a champion. SC2 is definitely, at least as of now, developing as a global game rather then a Korean centralized game. | ||
