So far, Thorzain's playstyle has been a safe, slow, heavy macro-style that ends up rolling his opponent.

MC has the ability to apply aggression whenever he wants, and his early attacks are a heck of a lot stronger (read as: perfectly executed) than Tyler's one attempt at blink micro in game two. Therefore, I think Thorzain may have a lot of trouble against MC.

MC has the uncanny ability to dictate the entire flow of the game, from start to finish.

I think MC's going to win 3-1, although I'm incredibly impressed with Thorzain's play thus far. MC is just playing far better than Tyler is. Heck, MC is arguably the best player in the world at the moment, let alone absolutely the best Protoss.

I don't hate WR but when someone don't know how to lose without QQ it's sad... especially after you did just the game before what you're QQ about in the next match...

I respect white-ra as a player (also if clearly MC is way way ahead him) but he lost two times and QQ two times... is too much from an old respected player like him...

After 10months that the game is out QQ about 4 gate is so boring...

wow a typo and people go wild. And wow so bad mannered to compliment the other player ^^. Well WhiteRa is still the most mannered bw player of all times.

But what word can you build out of besty and thinking its bad mannered ? I mean alot of people thought its BM, so there must be an easy to find word, unless its the easy solution of the green big thingies running around here again.

He probably meant best since the y-key is right next to the t-key.

I'm not so sure about that (would be curious to know if any toss players have tried this)...

The nice thing about cannons is that they are so gas cheap. This means you can focus your gas on teching (instead of say stalkers) and cruise to fast colossi (2nd most powerful PvP weapon after 4gate). Immortals can be built while waiting for the colossi as they do very well vs stalkers.

The other important thing is supply... 1 pylon = 100m = 8 supply which means a stalker costs you 25+ more than what you thought and say a immortal cost 50+ more. Cannons don't have these hidden costs, which would free up more minerals for defense and teching because you don't have to build as many pylons. Now in late game this doesn't matter so much because units are getting killed left and right so then, pylon cost are somewhat not relevant, but in early game their cost is very important.

Lastly, beating the opposition to +1 gives you a nice advantage in the mid to late game. On paper it is +10% but can be more for some units like colossi... So that roughly means when you have about 40 supply worth of military units +1 pays for itself.

Pls come on white-ra you're 30 years old and married... stop be a child BM and QQ.
You won your're only PvP vs MC of your life in GSL WC, be happy about that!

No matter if someone said that WR would never BM because he's soo cool and so Manner... after loosing from korean his lost his credit imo...


Why are ppl making such a fuss over what white-ra said in that last game?? It's ridiculous, he made a comment about a build, a tiny bit of QQ and ppl are all over him, that's insane. It doesn't really matter if it was BM or not, he's still probably the best mannered player around, one of the most skilled (if not the most consistent) and one of the best to watch players in the scene.

God White-Ra haters are on fire today, wtf? He's the most likeable guy around, definitely.

It's not really a big deal taken in isolation. But lowers Whitera to the guys saying "he's playing protoss" or "he built marines" or similar nonsense so I'm disappointed cuz I like Whitera.

He just got outplayed no reason for anything other than GG.

4 gate is really taking over PvP in these high level matches...wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard increases the research time for warp gate...

For those of you that play high level PvP, why don't players go 'forge tech' vs 4 gate? On paper cannons compare very well to stalker/zealot (32 hp*dps/cost compared to 20 for zealots and 8/6 for stalkers). The cannons can also allow you to bank gas and supply for immortals 29/11 (great stalker killers) and then fast colossi (12 hp*dps/cost but assuming 3 units a swipe it is closer to 36).

You can then +1 very fast which is crucial for colossi of how their damage stacks.

Would this work? It is too vulnerable to blink stalkers?

Yes it would be vulnerable to blink stalkers, plus if it is scouted your enemy just instantly expands and can contain you with their 4 gate units for a long time.

The second point is the important one. It's the same reason why you don't throw down 5 spine crawlers in ZvZ just to not die early, it's not enough to not die early at any price.

WhiteRa BMed San for beating him with a 4gate a short while ago. He openly admitted it in an interview, saying that he didn't think that 4gate rushes required players to use their brains.

This is the second time he gave a similar response before leaving the game after losing to a fast 4gate rush. It's absolutely clear that this is a QQ/ BM response from WhiteRa, despite the fact that he's known for normally having a fantastic reputation when it comes to good manners.

Thanks for the response.

I agree with you all the way. If Thorzain picks a win or two, it's probably going to be with his mech play or something else unorthodox that MC isn't familiar with.
