No it isn't. People only 4gate non-stop if they feel they are the inferior player. There isn't much one person can do when the other side is dedicating to the 4gate, but it isn't significantly harder to defend. Longer games favor the better player, which is Puzzle in this case, so Tassadar most likely just doesn't ever want to let the game go that far. No doubt he never goes blink, which really, unless you have 300+apm, you aren't going to be able to keep up with the Stalker micro of Puzzle. It sucks that games end this way of one side just really wants to 4gate, Puzzle has never pushed the issue, just opened 4gates into blink, Tassadar just doesn't feel confident to play Puzzle in anything other than 4gate | ||

Play it safe and 4gate back, it's the smart thing to do in a final like this. I think this final would look more or less the same regardless of preptime. I think it's just Tassadar. Essentially suiciding those first units to get the pylon in the main seem very strong. However, it means that he basically auto-loses if puzzle also 4 gates. If he didn't go so aggressive and tried to save the initial 2 until warp ins, then a number of non 4 gate builds would be viable. | ||

As it is, 4gate in PvP isn't risky, it's a 1 base all-in with no risk unless your opponent 4 gates. doesnt need a patch, it needs players that are good enough. It's been almost two months now that we've seen plenty of pvp from players that are good enough to make anyone who 4gates look like they belong in diamond but these two not so much. This time it's the players not the game. | ||

Difficulty of scouting: that's what makes it so volatile. That's the way it's going to be without some design changes. Well you have sentries to split the ramp and if youre on the highground you have a couple free stalker shots. | ||

You would have to significantly buff gateway units to compensate, and then things like proxy 2-gate become that much harder to stop. I understand what your saying and your more than likely correct it would need some tweaking. However I think in that case a protoss on the defensive early should be able to keep his gates closed and be roughly okay in other matchups too. Either that or there definitely needs to be greater punishments for having a pylon destroyed while the units are warping in off that. | ||
