"HO, he's pushing, time to start a nexus an to make an observer" Yeah that observer poping out was ridiculous. Should have cancelled Nexus and saved his units as much as he could, but the cancel was way too late. | ||

Trickster should have more Zealots chasing those marines and preferably draw tank splashes as well instead of making too many Stalkers. | ||

Stalkers are you how you stop early marine allins. Collo are how you stop late marine allins. 1-1-1 and all its variants are the timing in between where you can't stop it  | ||

This is why I think for protoss, it is pretty tough for them, even through stalkers are pretty good against marine, they don't get pumped out as fast as marines. but I am zerg, what do I know about pvt  | ||

Well he got knocked out in the qualifiers for GSL2 and 3 by marine/tank/banshee all-ins which people still haven't figured out. | ||

Thats generally the idea. Ive been reading defense guides that say to get charge but I wonder if its even necessary. | ||

This was pretty defendable by Trickster by doing the correct responses and he didn't. yeah i agree for the most part. i think i'd have to see it play out, and i'm not sure if it would have been possible without those tank snipes, but i think no expo, with colli, on top of the fact that he did snipe those tanks means he could have held it | ||

Interesting play by ryung, but not the most entertaining game. It's pretty obvious Tester just wasn't prepared for the build at all. He saw it coming and even had an observer out, and he just didn't respond well at all. Just ignore the whining. It seems that protoss is the new zerg. | ||

Blue flame completes which will give TOP a huge advantage over aLives mostly marine composition. | ||

Artosis seemed to think you could get colossus fast enough to counter that marine/tank all-in, but I'm neither P nor T so I can't comment on that. | ||

If Terrans had 40% winrate they'd be sad and frustrated too you know :p Well I was talking about in the later game, since Yaotzin was talking about combat shields + medivacs which you don't get in this kind of all in.

I dunno when Tester saw the 3 rax so I dunno if he could've in time. Just saying, the timing is horribly awkward for Protoss. If you rush collo and their allin hits early, then you don't have stalkers you needed. If you go stalkers and they push later...no collo, dead. | ||
