Why did they use the blizzard shattered temple? Close position.....................


Because Blizzard has to "proove" that close positions are balanced.

Naniwa called it himself: http://www.readmore.de/int/index.php?cont=news&id=44

If you were the best European, logically you should win this event easily. Or is there still someone in your way here in Warsaw?

Yeah, there's always the chance of losing. You need a bit of luck to win tournaments - mostly skill, but there is always a bit of luck. I think ret is going to be the hardest opponent because I'm not very good against Zerg compared to Terran. I think I'm the favourite but for sure I can lose.

what happens if a roach, or other unit, wants to unborrow if there's a forcefield above it? is it able to?


repost, since my post was burrowed under the game ending posts by the users here. how adequate.


It can't unburrow.


= the perfect defense in the situation, naniwa was in


Not enough sentries(due to losing alot of them) and force field energy isn't infinite.

No, but not many people realize this for some reason.


Yes because I'm sure you guys know from personal experience every single PvZ game that has been going on. Silly people not realizing we're in a stage in the game where its impossible for P to 4 gate zergs. Maybe next month it'll be possible again...

.. also naniwa tried 4 gating drg recently.

This tournament is sick
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

ret's pure skill allowed him to win that. naniwa should have won, but ret played better and took advantage of naniwa's mistakes

Naniwa had that game, even after he lost those sentries, he had econ lead.
All he needed was a simple forge/cannon at his base, or do a anypro prime like attack with blink stalkers/obs.

Oh wow,so close positions help a Zerg get the win. Who would complain now


I always thought that in PvZ. Roach/ling all-ins just get so effin strong. Toss can always negate long distances with warp-ins also. Close positions favors T the most.

CLOSE SPOT Z vs. PROTOSS 2-0 !!!


2-1...

Close pos affects any players because of lack of practice or whatever, eg. personally, I play toss, but I dislike close pos because it's not my playstyle.

Seems like close positions is balanced after all. No more zerg whine thx.

Real problem is that close position always turn out to be rush games, as in they only last around 10 minutes, it's boring to watch and to play.

shattered close has ALWAYS been impossible to win for a protoss pvz. just ask anyone who's anywhere close to decent


I don't understand? 2 base collosi or blink stalker allin seem like they would be ungodly strong. Ret produced a lot of lings early.


well if you can get there before the zerg has overrun you it might work
