You are a joke.


How is it a joke? It's indeed risky, though the 1-1-1 isn't suitable for all maps so it's not as bad as in a Bo3 IMO. It's been held off once so far since the Up/Downs of last season, giving it over a 90% success rate so far. Sounds like the definition of risky to me.


It doesn't matter if it's suitable for all maps because the loser choses the map. They'll just choose a map where it's good and snipe Puzzle.

It's not a huge stretch because you think he would be good if he had stayed in Korea, ok then =)

A shit ton of chokes, quite small spaces at the back of bases to make drops hard, just a narrow map in general I guess.


noo thats just asking to be contained in pvt

Dude, no man......Leenock and Sheth are not even comparable. For every 10 zerglings Sheth makes, he throws 5 away...same goes with roaches.

Sorry, I wasn't aware making a statement based in solid factual numbers constitutes whine. The 1-1-1 all-in has over a 90% success rate since the Up/Downs last season. This is a mathematical fact. Claiming that it would be risky to send a Protoss due to the potency of the 1-1-1 all-in is merely an observation made from the mathematical reality of the 1-1-1's success rate thus far.

In fact, Sheth is way better than Leenock, if the moon is made of cheese.

Taldarim is pretty good vs T.


Terminus is pretty good PvT as well. Shattered Temple is an imba PvZ map, but its not in the GSL. Crevasse is also a pretty good PvZ map but its now gone. Shakuras used to be incredibly Protoss favoured but since Zergs have taken a quick third, its become harder. Taldarim LE is good PvZ. I actually think Metalopolis is good PvZ as well, because if the Protoss player plays well, they can get 4 bases easily and an anchor point.

Basically a good protoss map is one that has a easily defenable third base. Eg Shakuras, Taldarim
Go go Alliance.

what player held this off in up/downs and how?!?!


I said "since the Up/Downs". Genius held it off against Thorzain yesterday, though Thorzain messed up the engagement really badly, it still counts as holding it off, I suppose.

seriously ... it would be like choosing a zerg if a map like steppes of war was in the map pool ... risky due to the 2rax scv pull ... wouldnt really call it whine
