Yea if white ra defensive 4 gates he holds san and comes out ahead no problem. The fact that he held in the second game from a much worse position/opening is a testament to this fact.

The reason korea is 4 gate vs 4 gate in pvp isn't because they're brainless. It's because from the thousands and thousands of games they've played pvp, they've come to the conclusion that it is the required most solid opening if you ever want to get to a midgame. The 3 stalker rush build thats designed to counter 4 gate doesn't even counter it that well especially vs a tricky/smart player.

If you're a very strong mid-late game player, just defensive 4 gate and transition and you'll be back in your comfort zone.

The meaning of "goat" in russian is close to "asshole", for those who might not understand.
Dimaga speaks from his heart, :D.
That is the thing. White-Ra is so good, he is a wise old-timer, he is like yoda.
He is so experienced that he doesn't want to play boring games. He's more in the mind-games thing, I suppose...
Meanwhile poor little korean fella just wanted to win, that's all. I don't blame him. Who won is a winner, is not he?
I am even kinda glad we don't have to see Dimaga playing versus White-Ra in some korean cup.
I am sure White-Ra will help Dimaga practice, so he can avenge him. :D

White-Ra is just expressing the frustration most top Protoss players express towards PvP.

Well, also that he flies to Korea and his opponent didn't care about showing good games whereas he did. It's a competition with a lot of money on the line though, so you can't really blame him.

If you are a toss, and you are not satisfied with current 4gates situation, then you should also always do 4gates. If every toss do this, every pvp game is 4gates vs 4gates, then definitely blizzard will change this.

If you try to play a long game, occasionally you will win some games. Then Blizzard will have excuse not to change this.

Toss players who don't like PvP should switch to zerg or terran. I'm sure they'll find playing against protoss more enjoyable then. /sarcasm

Nothing like Dimaga beating Nestea to put a big ol banana grin on my face in the morning. Come to think of it, is anyone in EU better than Dimaga at ZvZ? Nerchio?


How can anyone be better than Dimaga in ZvZ atm when he just beat arguably the best ZvZ player in the world?

Nerchio has beaten Dimaga bo3 before.

:D I am Dimaga fan how could i be better than him at ZvZ? In fact my ZvZ is kind of poor, i sometimes win with the best and sometimes lose to worse players so you cannot count me as a good zvz player. On the other hand Dimaga IS A BEAST!


I don't see how it can get more conclusive.... you say maybe Nerchio.... Nerchio.. says NO... DIMAGA.

Clearly.. Dimaga.... is a true hero. He did the impossible.... on the biggest stage for a ton of cash!

Plus if he had lost, it would have been a Korean sweep for the day, and EVERYONE, would have a different tone today :D

Dimaga..... literally..... saved the day!

Hence HERO!

------ and you Nerchio, its nice to see some respect between top players :D

stay classy!

Wooo.....Dimaga is great guys,but he's not the best ZvZ in the world. Nestea still is, even though the Ukrainian played very well today. As of White Ra, he lost in game 3 pretty heavily. Defending 4 Gates has to be in your curriculum as a Protoss, if you can't deal with it, it's not gonna go well for you.

I don't understand why Dimaga would insult San on the low in Russian as well. Dudes needs to stay classy.
Real mens play Zerg.. Startale fighting.

If someone like White-Ra starts badmannering because of 4-gate something is seriously wrong with this game.

Every tournament is a coin-flip tournament as protoss because of the risk of getting a PvP. It's frustrating enough on ladder but when these kinds of money are on the line it's obviously a lot more frustrating.

I think Blizzard needs to do something about the MU.

It is really uncall for by the UkraineBros. San give us a lot of good games this season and never some one who don't analyze situation and do a blind hope it will work strat
white-ra should look at himself for what happen today. i mean it's PvP.. in Korea.. what does he expect ? treat him differently because he foreign ? treat it like a showmatch to woo foreign fans ? pff
the other hand pvp is san weakest match ups its glad to see him making in roads on his pvp play

4 gate in PvP is incredibly super standard

if Blizzard were to attempt to do something to make 4 gate a sub optimal build in PvP, it would probably be some adjustment to the warp gate mechanic (probably research time). I think most Protoss would prefer to keep the warp gate mechanic as it is now and deal with PvP 4 gate fests than have Blizzard adjust the warp gate mechanic and greatly alter how Protoss is played as a race in all matchups.

We still will be able to see some excellent White_Ra play in his vs Bomber showmatch. Also I hope he will play his TSL matches in Korea, so he and MC will have zero lags.
I am sure the second day is gonna be even more epic. (I even can dare hope that Morrow will somehow beat MC).

I just saw the pvp matches.

Tastosis didn't catch the moment that San canceled second gas in order to fake whitera...
