I can't stop laughing at how close these posts turned out to be despite probably being made by different people. | ||

Yeah he could have. That "insane play" just worked because it was surprising. It's basically a very delayed offensive cannon rush. Instead of building a pylon, it's moving overlord into position. With better pylon placement, it wouldn't have worked. Against ... most good reactions, it wouldn't have worked. | ||

I will say that phoenix vs hydra is one of those critical mass things that swings in one direction pretty fast depending on what dies first. That should be obvious to most people. Yea most battles have the critical mass factor but often a unit like a tank or HT or infestor can turn things around. What made phoenixes interesting is the fact that it requires a decent amount of skill to lift that many things that quickly but not lifting so many you don't have any leftover shooting. It's pretty ballsy to do that against a clump of hydras with +2 (although he had +1 air). | ||

As for Inca, some of his play i've seen against non Protoss recently has been pretty meh. However when most of the field is protoss you can ride a single MU pretty far. Second he hits a non-P (neastea is next for him I assume?), he will get crushed in straight sets. | ||

Second he hits a non-P (neastea is next for him I assume?), he will get crushed in straight sets. He actually plays NaDa next. Can't see him doing well in that match at all, his PvT in particular looks very unimpressive to say the least. | ||

I was hoping it'd be NaDa vs. SC and Nestea vs. Inca, it'd be an easier road to the epic Nestea-NaDa finals. | ||

I'm sorry but I give Nestea a little more credit than him using a strategy that counts on the protoss player not having "better pylon placement". If it's so bad that it lose to most good reactions, why the hell did Nestea use it? | ||
