Perfect example of how to throw away your lead. Poor engagements, poor worker production, stubbornly trying one tactic over and over again........

People keep saying this all-in fails if the initial banshee attack doesn't do much damage, but I've seen it succeed even when a) the first banshee is defended perfectly and does almost no damage; b) the all-in is scouted, the expand is cancelled, and plenty of immortals are pumped out; c) the Terran engages in the worst possible convex against a pre-emptively split Protoss army who slices the army perfectly in half with force fields.

You can check out MarineKingPrime vs. Puzzle (who, last I heard, was a pretty decent Protoss!) in the FXO Korean KOTH #3, first game. Action starts at around 9:50.

Puzzle actually defends the first wave of the all-in perfectly! (the only time I've seen it defended), but loses badly against MKP's second attempt at the all-in.

Personally, I don't see anything else Puzzle could have done better, but maybe someone more knowledgeable than myself can give pointers? As far as I can tell, the only solution is rushing colossi, but even then I'm not 100% sure.

Forgot to mention that MKP also forgot that siege mode existed, lol. It was basically the worst possible execution of the all-in against the best possible defense (sans colossi).

Keen/Yoda = Good with using strategic nukes

Clide = Those were the worst nukes I've ever seen

woo, glad tester makes it into r08. clide could have won with that gold if he had taken some initiative, he played very passively like this against killer too if i remember. great game by both.

I hope clide trains better nuke usage, but he played pretty awesomely this series!
I also think a raven woulda helped him out a bunch. he woulda stopped all those observers seeing his every move
