You know that he placed 2nd at IEM with all top european terrans participating?
Yeah, and he steam-rolled all of them except for SjoW. He lost, like, two games total or something. And, remember, TLO falls under that "top European ___" thing.
I'm going to have to go with White-Ra even though TLO was my first SC2 hero. I just switched from Terran to Protoss and have been really impressed with White-Ra and his improved play. But, hey, I'd be so happy with either one of them winning! I love 'em both!

Dunno, warp prisms are underused. They really are hell to deal with unless you are going bio. Not to mention that beasty was going tanks, which are imo at best very weak early on.
I really need to check that replay as I absolutely dont understeand how is possible that after the harrasment it was like 30 vs 15 workers.. And I think tanks are very good TvP, but you just need like 4-5 from 1 factory to set up contains, defend critical timings or areas.. The rest is MMM, probably wont change ever..
I think tank is decent early on just versus stalkers, as soon as non-gateway units start hitting the field stuff becomes painful. However for the WP, if you are not going bio, you don't get stim(usually) right away, so getting those zlots in the rines/scvs face... it's painful, you need a wall, bunker or pretty insane micro.
I think it's actually the reliance on the bunker at the ramp that makes that Warp Prism play even more hurtful. The Warp prism bypasses that bunker and Ts just don't have enough units to deal with the drop because they cut unit production for tech/expansion and rely on bunker.
That is a very good point.. Still Im surprised how much damage this Warp Prism did as Beastyqt even saw early Robo and White-ra is well know he does this drop in nearly every game..
