So much for it being hard for terran to beat protoss late game. Obviously Boxer was the better player here but people who say PvT lategame is imbalanced are silly. I would never call it Imbalanced, but once you hit a certain point in the game, when a protoss is on 3+ base, with upgrades, HT, collosi, I feel like the Terran player has to completely outclass the Toss to win. Like Boxer just did to Genius. Well that probably is true if the terran is staying on MMMVG only. But then again, the opposite would also be true if protoss players would try to counter some sort of heavy mech + starport play with only gateway units.
Late game Terrans really don't have that many options. If a toss has gone Chargelot heavy, I can imagine some sort of BC transition might be viable, but its risky, as they're so vulnerable to feedbacks. You either need to make sure you EMP HT, or EMP your own BC's. The reason terrans end up on 3/3 marauders late game is because it, currently anyway, feels the most viable option. I'm not saying its the only option - I'm waiting for a Terran Spanishiwa to change it all, A messiah if you will.
I still think terrans need to use blue fame hellions more. But they're really fragile, require lots of micro, but someone like Boxer would do wonders with them I'm sure.
But terran just doesn't have the t3 powerhouse units like Toss does.

I've always wanted to do a build like this, chargelots with armor upgrades are so good versus terran minus kiting and you can forcefield behind them to prevent that. If you're pumping pure zealots you could probably produce out of 7-8 gates on 2 base, that's just a ton of zealots every 30 seconds. thats right, mass zealot even with emp is hard to deal with. i've been preaching this for months so here goes The counter to upgraded zealots is BLUE FLAME HELLIONS.
Unfortunately the counter to blue flame hellion is pretty much everything else

Does anybody know how to do that?
I would but i have NO idea :/

Even with boxer's army there that wasn't going to stop that +2 armor chargelot/sentry build.It is really strong.

This series was very reactive - A wins, B counters, A counters the counter. If Boxer won the first game, it was probably going to be 2-1 for him in the end.

If Min gets knocked out today might be the worst SlayerS day @ individual leagues

That's cuz Boxer is his senior.

Kinda sucks Keen/Violet/Genius are all in the same side of the bracket. Only one of them, at best, could get to the Final 4.

Man, sucks that's such a nice bo3 ends with a warpgate all-in. I love how the term "all in" is used whenever someone attacks without making 90 workers on 5 base >_< Timing attack =/= all in
Any attack that beats your favorite player is an all in, is the way I definite it on the forums :-/
And any early aggression against your favorite player is Cheese.

I really dislike protoss, but that was an epic game, wp Genius. that wasn't epic, it was a Build order lost, when is that ever epic? it was just a smart choice How on earth is that a BO loss wtf. Boxer had tons of time to scout.
the goal of boxers BO was an auto lose to th goal of genius BO.... Tastosis basically said the same thing

People think that because blue flame helions are the cost effective unit there that they need to make 4 factories with reactors pumping them out or its USELESS. Bad.

Lol.. they spent 2 or so minutes talking about Pirate Bird and they're not even getting into the matches.
HAHA AND THEY'RE STILL GOING AT IT>

Meh, too bad, genius ain't nearly as entertaining, I enjoyed gold leaguers from NA bashing boxer when this guy will probably have better army control when he reaches 40 than the entire server :D.
