TLO's drop was excellent and his build good as well, the problem being the transition into a thor left a timing window for a counter which White-ra took advantage of. Had White-ra not countered right away TLO would have had a huge lead but well it's white-ra, ofc he counters

White-ra is surely influencing a new age of warp prism play.

I'm not sure if I agree about hitting the prism first. There were so few units and the SCVs weren't able to really hit White-Ra's units, so not hitting the units would probably gimp TLO's force so much that he wouldn't be able to do anything anyways. If the units numbers were just a little bigger I would agree, but not in this situation.

Too bad the thor didn't come out earlier. Thors > warp prisms I think.

White-Ra's warp prisms have been amazingly effective all day, like a surprise 4Gate right in the opponent's mineral line. Terrans should really take precautions against this style as White-Ra has gone for it in all PvTs I've seen of him today.

Damn, so close, Come on TLO! Seems like White-Ra's multitasking/microing was better than TLO's that game.

He had literally 0 scvs, one round of warp ins + probes would of killed the thor and it would of been gg.

a CHANCE to win, not he was going to win. Floating barracks and CC to island making marines using his dropship to bring them to white ras base, who also only had 12 probes becuase tlo was harrassing during the whole time casters were watching TLOs base

Shouldn't have gone for the Thor/Viking. He just plain didn't have enough units and lost to a pretty meager drop. This has been kind of an issue with TLO. In all his GSL games he always had the smaller army.

If whitera did anything but a drop TLO would've had his thor out in time for any push. I don't think you really expect warp prisms...so I don't blame him.

a thor drop vs 1 stalker? and floating his CC to the island how can u say thats not a chance to win. Warp prism also was low hp could be shot down by thor easily before dropping all the units

Edit: You answered that guy.

You're overestimating, though. He wouldn't be able to get out the marines he'd need fast enough.

He couldve warped in zealots easily and surrounded with his probes. Thors aren't that good w/o SCV's
