Think about it this way. If Whitera didn't scout that Roach Warren, he would have died anyway. Close position is fucking stupid. That's enough whining from me though.

GOGO Whitera I believe you can turn this around!


I'll give you that :D

Hope whitera can turn it around :/


Isnt close position super advantageous to protoss?

White-ra did a poorly executed FE and got punished for it.

It's advantageous to whoever rushes.

Z can do so many more early game all ins than Protoss, makes absolutely no sense. If all, close positions are bad for P, not for Z.

ridiculous choice by blizzard, fucking retarded to have close spawn positions. fucking disgrace


Z HAS to all-in when protoss takes nexus that early.

Seriously, I don't qq when zergs punish greedy-toss-play, but claiming that zerg is "forced" to all-in is just....

How? Four gate is retarded nowadays, and you'll just get roach/ling all-inned when you try to take a nexus. I don't think I ever play PvZ close positions without getting all-inned and it's so hard to hold when the units are there in a moment.

If White-ra finished his walloff he would have had such a big advantage. He slipped and it costed him the game.

Z has to try and ninja expand to the other side of the map to get a third.

Imo protoss has the best measures for holding FE, FF/cannons/VR etc

To me, BBQ toss and Grandpa toss are Drieven and Much respectively. I haven't heard Ra called those before.

EDIT: I guess Ra is a grandpa too. Liquipedia doesn't lie.

shame on blizzard for allowing close position shattered temple in a damn tournament...


If Blizzard doesn't allow close positions on their ladder, they aren't going to do it for their tournament. They'd basically just be admitting their mistake, and we all know they have no intention of doing that.


well, that's not true.
They dont define the ladder as a tournament.
They said multiple times already that they dont want to JUST please the progamers. they want diversity in the ladder.

This is a tournament where they ONLY invited progamers and they know exactly what progamers want, they dont have to consider what bronze/silver/gold/plat/diamond say, all the attention is at progamers and that's why they cant simply pull of this sh!t in a tournament while they have every right to do so in ladder.
