Whats with all these risky protoss builds today,
why does no protoss feel like he can play straight up?
No matter how hot it gets, sooner or later there's a cool breeze coming in.

It is a tournament and if you have a strat to win a game with relatively little risk you take it. There is no reason to risk going into a Makro game when you can win right away.

These all-ins wouldn't have happened if Killer didn't nexus first.

You have to punish the build. You can't just let your opponent play with a gigantic macro lead.

I'm saying this as a protoss player, SeleCT did what he had to do and won.

you're right that worker micro took no skill, try microing marines and scv against 4 stalkers, for as good as killer is, he nexus first 3 games....what else do you want from SeleCT

Go away. If you go nexus first you deserve to get your face smashed in like this.

Absolutly true, why should Select go for a Macro game, when the toss makes such an opening?!
I mean Killer screamed for the allin!

This! Why the hell didn't he make worse decisions? Who in their right mind would go for a win in _ANY_ of those games?! I've lost all respect for SeleCT now, he's just trying to do good in a tournament, it's silly... THINK ABOUT THE FANS!

I don't really see how people can whine when one player goes for a ridiculously greedy build, the other decides to "all in" and punish him for it. If anything this is intelligent decision making. Nice work Select.
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

False. Killer was too greedy, and that's what he gets. Doesn't even vary it up, just does it all three games.

Giving yourself a chance to hold off the 1/1/1 is considered greedy now?
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Funny that he scouts a nexus first and people complaining that he all-ins. Your opponent has nexus'd first in the previous two games, you check to see if he's done it again because you know exactly what will kill him, and you go kill him. Seems like excellent strategy from a good player. WP SeleCT!

You lose to 1-1-1 if you play straight up. Watch GSL.

Tbh, 15 Nexus hoping you don't get scouted early is way, way more all-in then Select's smart reactionary play

I wonder why Killer nexus first 3 games in a row? Was it arrogance against foreigners, or was he just determined to show that he could make that build work?

x2

Greedy play by the toss, the right move is to punish it.


Because going CC first wouldn't also be a legit choice?


CC first is a legit choice on maybe one single map, crevasse, and even there it's risky as hell if a P chooses an aggressive opener.

I hope Hasu casts some more, the games didn't give him much time.
If you're not getting better faster than everybody else, you're getting worse.
