And @homestory comment, thats partly because both players went 1gate tech, we didnt see any 1gate tech v straight up 4gate Pretty much. No one like playing 4gate, so when both you and your opponent mutually agree to not 4gate then things open up and become interesting. But make no mistake, 4gate is still the standard strategy. I'm totally stealing puzzles build in game 3 tho ^_^ | ||

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. Indeed that suicidal attempt was really dumb in my opinion. A good way to play it off imo is just retreat if you see the 4 gate, get a second gas, add a couple probes, and go heavier stalker. The only problem there is, if they choose to play more greedy theyľl go for blink and youľl die. I dont think he could retreat though because he assumed that Puzzle had a proxy pylon. | ||

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. That's the point. The safest way to defend a 4gate is to 4gate yourself, because holding 4gates with anything less can be very fragile. | ||

I said Non-stop. In a BoX you usually have some variation, i.e Blink. There really isn't any other reason to not go blink from opening 4gate unless you feel you are inferior | ||

they dont suck, they got here through playing good. Their pvp though isnt really up to snuff. Watch a pvp with naniwa, mc or huk playing a similarly good player and you will be blown away when comparing it to what we are watching now. | ||

Some people think a 6 min game with 1 attack is more enjoyable than a 30 min game with 10 attacks, 5 harassments, tech switches and swings in the lead are bland. Still think PvP is indeed the worst matchup. Between two really good players its good, between the rest it's just as Wolf is talking about now: zealot + stalker + probe vs zealot + stalker + probe | ||

Yeah he might get to Code S but I sure as hell won't be cheering him on when he gets there... find me ONE player that would do an "entertaining" match over a winning match in an important finals. Its not like hes being a dick. i want to see players going 100% to win, not going 80% but being slightly more "entertaining" Also the micro in these matches has been very entertaining, if you dont like it, thats your loss. | ||

TvT bland? TvT is an awsome MU, it has soooo many different viable openings. Sure, lategame is mostly tanks until the BC transition but still, alot more variety then PvP. TvZ is a matchup that have brought us an ridicolous amount of epic games, cant see how this is depressing in any way. PvT is probably the best, this I agree on. PvZ aswell has tons of awsome games under its belt, PvP has 80% 4gates and it gets old quickly. Can we all just agree that we have different opinions instead of posting rebuttals to troll posts? Some enjoy PvP, some don't. End of story. | ||
