Why does everyone dislike Trickster now? What did I miss? I remember when tons of people were talking about how great he is.

I often get it before energy upgrade if Protoss is going heavy templar. Most forget to make enough observer


That and the fact that a rine ball with scans just utterly melts them. Plus blanket EMPs often bring them out as a side effect.

You'd almost need like 4 or 5 behind your army all hotkeyed to be brought up as they're killed.

Reconsidering, I'm actually really, really glad most Terrans don't cloak ghosts.

I think the protosses thus far are making the mistake of teching to Colossus too late. their storms are not hitting the M/M/M all though TricksteRs storms were a lot better than Puzzles. don't know, not a high level protoss player but I feel like they should Colossus earlier to melt the M/M/M bio ball

Tons of people always was just artosis, who tends to like obscure players like tester/clide/killer for no actual reason ;p.

Staying in Code A seems super brutal. Not going to say that it is worse than staying in Code S, but the second you have an unlucky draw, you can be so so very dead.

Nothing I have seen in the last months would have me believe that Tester would beat the top Code A players in a Bo3. Then again, he might be able to stay Code S with a lucky bracket draw, though it does not seem too likely at this point.

I also didn't come out of the whole TSL thing looking too hot. He has been slacking off and hurting his team, which generally doesn't help the popularity along

He was awesome in the beta and slowly went downhill. Loyal fans (including myself) tried to cling on, hoping that he would do better next GSL. Then he left TSL with FD because he didn't want to practice as much as TSL were, and he even lied about details regarding the whole TSL-S2Con ordeal.

Trickster was overhyped like crazy since the beginning of SC2 and now people are starting to realize he's just mediocre.

Really would like to see some more 2 base colossus mana style. I just don't think Protoss players can defeat ghosts with this zealot heavy style.

perhaps templars could use more range on their storms. I think a patch can fix Protoss. vs Terrans.
Perhaps make cannons cheaper, or more powerful, more damage resistant. make warp prisms cheaper are easier access in early game..

It's not really hate, it's just that he's lazy and his play doesn't deserve Code S status.

Fortunately(?) for Tester, the Promotion/Relegation matches are multiple Best of 1s, so if he gets lucky (he'll need to be, with what he's shown today) he might be able to make it back, but with the quality of players coming up from Code A, I fear for him . . .

practicing 6 hours a day vs players practicing 10-12 hourse a day. Who's going to win I wonder trickster.. so disapointing.


Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

This isn't the sort of game where you can get by on pure talent alone without putting a tremendous amount of work into it. Until Tester (and by extension, FruitDealer) get to the point where they want it bad enough that they're willing to give their all, they simply don't deserve to go any further than these other players who clearly desire it more.

Which sucks, cause FruitDealer and Tester were some of my favourite players during the open season era, but their work ethic shows through their results. I want to hope that they'll turn it around, but I'm having trouble believing they ever will. Reaching the top again won't be as easy now that they've fallen off so much and everyone else has become that much better.

lol

cannon rushing would become a problem again
warp prism's cost is not the problem, it's the fact that it's on the robotics facility AND the fact that its upgrade is on a fucking 200/200 building designed for colossi

Also collosus without range but with force field is underestimated. it really melts marines and makes them stack when they inevitably try to focus it down.

You really wanna save patching as a last resort and then only patch as small as possible.

Or, change nothing and play better. Seriously, you think the current form of PvT has been ultimately figured out and everyone plays perfectly? No? No need to change anything. Just because Protoss are having a tough time at the moment does not mean things need to be altered. Not just yet. You're too giddy.
