Yea, you didn't address my post in any way whatsoever. We know that. I was talking about something different and a much more general point. | ||

Protoss isn't helpless, but there's definitely been a growing trend of Protoss just getting rolled in basically every event recently.

Yeah, I mean the 4 protoss semi-finals in Starwars where all of the top zergs got dominated shows protoss getting rolled. GSL stats for the MU is literally 500% Too many protoss are stuck on colossi/gateway pew pew, and it's been figured out. Every protoss told zerg to stfu and try something other than roach/hydra/corrupter for 2 months so I think it's time to say the same to protoss. I'm a random player, and I go heavy archon/zealot--> into templar in my PvZ's and I have like a 90% winrate. (granted I'm only masters) Should check out the chinese protoss, they are tearing it up | ||

People tend to forget just because you can build faster doesn't mean you have the cash for it. I think a year from now, we'll all be laughing at how newbie Protoss used to be at chronoboost management. It's a very tricky macro mechanic, because it changes how much money you can spend. Obvious I know, but it changes the balance between income and production. And is especially hard when you're bouncing chrono boost on different buildings all the time (usually probes and upgrades? I dunno). I just don't think chrono is all that well understood right now, it's not like Larvae Inject, a 40 second PITA, but a very consistent and easily to adjust to change in your macro. | ||

I'm fairly certain you need consent from Blizzard to charge tournament fees. At least from what has been posted on here in the past when it's been suggested. They could have it from Blizzard for all i know. I'm just surprised by it, that's all. | ||

MC went literally the most greedy build possible by teching and FEing at the same time. Also, July is straight up a better player than Incontrol anyway, so I'm not sure how people see it as an imbalance issue (game seems pretty balanced right now). | ||

On June 03 2011 12:42 Mailing wrote: 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 Easiest way to lose mid game these days is trying for fast colossus off 2 bases and around 3 gateways. Once roach get speed, they will just rush you when you only got 1 colossus out and its gg. Im sorry as good as your ff can be 1 colossus without range and like 10 gateway units dont stack agaisnt 25-30 roaches+ like 40-50 lings streaming in. | ||

Incontrol is clearly the better player and not at all outwitted can i go now because frankly im a bit worried. Here. I just don't even understand where you could possibly be coming from with this. Like...it was obviously lucky. He was using pylons to spot for nydus worms and missed a spot completely by accident. It's not a bad thing. I'm not saying July is bad. I'm not insulting him in any way. I'm not saying he didn't 'outwit' iNcontroL but a lot of the time outwitting your opponent means taking the advantages that luck gives you. | ||

Even when this is the case, shortening the build time of units like colossi and getting them out faster from when you purchase the unit is always advantageous | ||

His robo bay isnt done when they made that comment and chronoing warpgate+nexus when you got no money just don't work. | ||

Actually, I'd say it's more of a trend of Zerg just absolutely demolishing everyone recently. It reminds me of when the Roach got buffed to range 4 and every Zerg all of a sudden started busting Protoss fast expand. Granted that was an actually balance change that triggererd that (They also started owning Terran by shutting down early harass with that change too). But somehow, Protoss started fast expanding again and now Zerg is just busting it with mass roach / ling again. So to me, it's just another turn in the cycle. That's an oversimplification, but roaches killing Protoss on 2 base before they can power seems to be what most people are shocked by these days (in today's case while Protoss starts to add on T3 was the timing window July used). | ||
