Not saying July is bad but he cheese way too much in almost every freaking series, and overrated. Nah July is a total boss. Won every NASL game except double bunker rush from Ensnare, GSL finalist and won through the Clash of the Houses to get into MLG. Lol, look at his NASL group. He baneling busted his way through Clash of the Houses as well every time his opponents took a game off him. Rain and Inca were also GSL finalists.
A win is a win.

You guys noticed something about PvZ recently? Protoss is helpless against mass roaches. I'm not going to QQ about balancing. But if you see the recently PvZ, you will understand.
75/25 for roaches? ROFLMAO.
User was temp banned for this post.

Awesome post. Obviously it was imbalance that lost Incontrol that game and not the fact that he literally didn't use his chronoboost once

GSL Finalist, CSN's CoTH winner, top of his group in NASL. Truely an overrated player. -.-

It's an interesting observation, in a way. Protoss isn't helpless (definitely no imbalance or anything), but there's definitely been a growing trend of Protoss just getting rolled recently. Actually, I'd say it's more of a trend of Zerg just absolutely demolishing everyone recently.

Or the fact that July is just a far, far better player than Incontrol.

maybe people should stop being greedy playing vs the ultra aggressive zerg? and hes expanded and is ahead in bases vs incontrol... What? Forge fast expand is not greedy lol. JulyZerg is HIGHLY overrated and he is extremely lucky that he managed to get that nydus in. o.O you think that was luck? It was lucky that there was a tiny spot that he could hide the nydus in. If Inc had moved his probe like 1 hex to the left he would have won this game by a long shot. so you think its "luck" that someome uses a blind spot on a map. Really? This isnt exclusive to SC2 this is fundamental strategy in all computer games. You do sneaky shit in places that you know are vulnerable. Are you crazy in the face? It was obviously lucky. That's not anything to disparage July but it is objectively lucky. I'm sorry if facts offend you. Like I already said, it was July's only option. If Inc moves a probe 1 hex to left his only option disappears. People win every game with a bit of luck. This isnt exclusive to SC2 this is fundamental strategy in all computer games. Yeah - luck is a fundamental part of all computer games. So apparently only the lucky win then since its fundamental according to you. Wake up no it isnt. You also need to understand the definition of the word FACT. I will break it down for you July goes nydus...he doesnt flip a dice and radomnly builds it anywhere he builds it in a place that has had success before because of where he placed it. Now granted this is not guaranteed nothing is ever incontroll could have done something non standard and seen it but he didnt as i suspect many other opponents before him also didnt. Understand now? Or i give up on you. ...serious question, why are you being so aggressive? Chill out, jesus. You seem to think that there's a magic blind spot on Tal'darim where July always builds his nydus? Nope...that's just the only spot Inc didn't build a pylon. Inc made a mistake, and July was lucky that Inc made that mistake. Lucky in the sense that if he didn't see that 1 spot where the nydus could go he was fucked. He was relying on a blind spot. Luckily for him there was a blind spot. He was rolling a dice because he had no choice. His original plan was a baneling bust which didn't work. He had one option only and that was to hope that he could sneak a nydus in. Facts, yo. There is nothing in my post that is aggressive whatsoever so sorry to disappoint you there. From my experience in many many computer games there are always blind spots on maps that players exploit if you have never played a game to a decent level then i can accept you wouldnt realise this. He had a choice to build a nydus and he had a choice to do it where he did and it worked as i suspect it has before many times. Yeah actually you're right you're definitely not being an arrogant douche at a- ...oh. As for you actual argument, it makes no sense at all. Inc was building pylons specifically to spot nyduses. He missed a spot. Was it because it's some sort of pylon black hole where protoss never put any buildings? Nope it was just an accident. I understand the concept of blind spots, thank you very much Mr Condescending. But that's not one. sorry mister scary you are completely right you arent aggressive at all yes it was a complete accident even LUCK and a FACT that july didnt build a nydus in sight of where incontrol had buildings this is also a completely unknown phenomenon in esports. Incontrol is clearly the better player and not at all outwitted can i go now because frankly im a bit worried.

Um, he lost the finals because zerg couldn't win a ZvP for their life around then. Yes he has bad ZvZ, nearly every top pro has a bad MU. I'm not saying he's the best player in the world, but there is no way in hell anyone could come up with 4 better zerg players than July
I think it was more like when you have an aggressive zerg versus a timing attack based toss. It is not the best "style" vs "style" matchup either. July perfer his toss opponent to try to mass those deathballs then just punishes them for being immobile(hitting 3rd or keep your colossus ball tied up chasing roach ling) and hope to induce a mistake like a missed ff and just win. Or he also seems to like to punish players for staying on gateway for too long. His fast hydra build would get decimated by standard 2 base colossus but players have shunned those builds because they tend to be a lot weaker against mid game mass roach/ling timings and switched to a more gateway+ff centered style which is really bad versus ling/hydra. July just played better and read his opponent both game 2 and 3.

Protoss have FF. Use it well and roaches won't be such a big problem. I can point to several games where well placed FF stopped roaches cold.

Cool, thanks for quoting my post that addressed those points then repeating them exactly. Rain and Inca were both finalists, this NASL group is probably one of the least scary imaginable minus WhiteRa who I don't think they even played, and he all-inned a ton in CoTH and went 3-2 against Taeja who isn't even Code A.

You need permission to charge fees to tune in to the broadcast I believe, not to participate in the tournament.

So are you saying EGIncontrol is a bad protoss? Look at how MC got pwn when he did a fast expand during GSTL when DRG did a roach rush? This race is broken.

People tend to forget just because you can build faster doesn't mean you have the cash for it. Don't other protoss build more colossus and less gateway units, and use c-boost on the colossus? Every time July attacked incontrol had no DPS because it was 1 or 2 colossus vs 100 army supply. Seemed very late each time No...
Seriously, do you actually play this game? Going fast Colossus is the easiest way to lose to these builds. There is a thread in the strategy forum about it, going fast Blink or building up Colossus slowly is the best way to do it as you actually need an army to stop them from bum rushing the Colossus..
