How about some of that now? Artosis had a good point about scouting the all-in but still tried to expand, also Observers instead of Immortals when he knew it was an all-in. Immortals kind of stink though. 250/100 for a unit that doesnt really do much except get focus fired by marines who deal full damage to it. 4 Range kind of makes that unit a big resource dump for what it brings to that encounter. Trickster should have more Zealots chasing those marines and preferably draw tank splashes as well instead of making too many Stalkers. Yeah. Thats generally the idea. Ive been reading defense guides that say to get charge but I wonder if its even necessary. you guys should try zealots without charge against marine tank. unless you're talking about a specific control i'm not aware of, there's no way you can hold like that
You make enough Zealots that Marines can't mow them down and target Immortals which makes microing them against Tanks work. It's nowhere as hard to hold without Banshees in play, Trickter just did not react correctly.

Hey, I also play toss. The big problem is the same thing that zergs were dealing with awhile back. Not a lot of innovation going on right now. I really, REALLY want to see Sage go to an MLG or qualify for code A/S. I think we just have to adapt to the metagame, and there's just no one leading that change atm.

1-1-1 isn't a new metagame development.
If someone was complaining about, say, the 2base ghost push, I would totally agree. But 1-1-1 is a simple build from beta - it should not be anywhere near as strong as it is, let alone completely unsolved a year later.

To be fair. Way back in the day, zerg (when the winrates were commensurate with protoss now)didnt really adapt metagame wise since you could 6 rax reaper. Unless by adapting to metagame you mean, wait for blizzard to make barracks require depot and speed require factory.

aLive commits a huge force to attacking TOPs natural. TOP reacts far too slowly and aLive sneaks marauders into the main killing off a lot of workers.
The point may be moot by the amount of command centers TOP is making however.

Kinda works but I dunno if it works on pro level.
i'm not sure if you're being playful or snide. that's actually the build i use against 1/1/1 when i see it. It can almost work when they make some mistakes. i need to practice my control with it a little more. There's still now way that it will work against a terran not making mistakes, and probably still unstoppable if they do a slower bunker push.

Yeah i am Toss too, and while i think that the whole Ghost vs Templar/Archon fight is very fragile and needs some tweaking, the 1/1/1 is i think pretty much the same thing as the 2/4 rax vZ during GSL 2/3. I am not a high level player, just think that whining imbalance is a bit too early

Agree wholeheartedly, people are quick to forget that protoss is in the state zergs were in a couple months back where ZvP were impossibly hard for zergs until Losira did that roach ling aggression in Terminus RE. Give it some time before going crazy on balance.

aLive remaxes but it is TOP with hellion drops that is killing off workers. aLive forces the issue by pushing into the center, gaining ground at the cost of units but is stalled out by the main siege line and a thor.

I've only just come to the conclusion that the white dots around tanks and stuff are actually really annoying.

You should be able to toggle it in observer mode imo.
aLive is playing really well.
