These Chinese guys are easily MC-level protoss players.

I really don't understand why Idra got every upgrade imaginable except for burrow and burrow move for roaches. He could have sidestepped most of the ffs without losing too much and if he had kept more roaches alive for the last battle, the roaches would have prevented blink a lot better than the few lings.

Haha, I didnt notice its fucking 4 protoss in the semis. I feel sorry for the tournament organizers as that will make the live semi/finals so much more boring then it could have been=[

They only were a big deal because IdrA hasn't dealt with a style like that. FFs at that stage of the game are counterable with good play; this is especially so because late game there are many more options. For example, IdrA's first big push could have included burrow movement or infestors.

Sentries can't blink . XiaoT had those sentries alive all game. You need to carpet bomb the sentries in order to cut down the amount of FF.

With a 50-70 supply lead you should be able to kill your opponent. Forcefields are so strong.

Do you understand how awful ultras are vs toss?


Ultras are awful against everything unfortunately. They need a boost to be any useful; they die so quickly. I can't remember the last time I saw a zerg go ultras and do well. They don't have dark swam to protect them, they need more HP or something else to let them get in and do damage, otherwise it's a waste to go ultras in any matchup.

It's sad. I'm a protoss player but Ultras are one of my favorite units and it's sad to see them so useless.


I am not suggesting they be massed and used as the primary DPS. I am simply suggesting that a few be made, and it will therefore nullify all of XiaOt's sentries... which he invested A LOT into.

The game was pretty similar to MC vs Idra at Dreamhack. He's played (and lost to) that style before.

He would've had like 4 or 5 less broodlords though to accomodate a few ultras, and they would've been kited with blink. They can break 1 wave of forcefield but they get picked off fast and then a second wave goes up usually.

Idra has to work on his micro. His macro was far superior but it doesn't matter when you lose every micro battle. Rewatch the match ups Xiaot's micro was incredible. Even the casters pointed out how Idra failed to use his full energy infestors...

Also broodlords were a terrible choice vs. blink stalkers.

Outplayed.

The Chinese players are so beast! xiaOt's control in particular is really impressive.

Definitely a fan after this!

I would love to see how they would do against MC though.

Idra used neither drops nor roach burrowed movements. Not saying it's easy but he didn't even try to deal with the force fields instead walked just into them.

It was mostly in roaches, he wasn't that much ahead in army value.

And yet people complain that it is too difficult to come back in SC2 when compared to SC1.

Either way, XiaOt had a tech advantage and his sentries were alive all game.

You know what... lets try this again...

So a protoss at 150 with HTs/Collosi and Sentries in his army should lose to 200 supply worth of lings?

It seems like when Idra is ahead he sometimes controls his army more poorly.

Zerg making roach/ling will always be ahead on supply because they're so supply inefficient, it doesn't mean they're actually ahead.

Idra threw it away by not carpet bombing his banelings nor getting burrow walk. He could have crushed Xiaot with better control/engagements.

Since almost every protoss player tends to get sentries in their mix it can be a good idea to invest a few resources in burrow and burrow movement when you focus on roaches for yourself. A-moved roaches simply doesn't cut it. If a protoss with a 50 supply lead using only stalkers would attack a zerg with hydra/infestor he would get smashed aswell, it's not all about supply counts -.-
