Terrans should make more Wall offs if Protoss plays this Zealot Archon style

That + gaurdian shield means that after shields, marines are doing 2 damage a shot instead of 6, too. Marines just can't kill chargelots in that situation.

Socke should take the game now with his superior tech. Quoting myself just to point out that Socke was ahead, and you guys should have realized it! Kas had that window to win before he would get rolled (when he attacked into Socke's expo). Yeah, congrats, you should become a caster.
I would but I don't want to be spammed hate in LR threads! = ) jk

I hope this is the start of a more consistent kas. His A game is just top notch. I disagree, Kas is strugling with emp placements and keeps being feedbacked on everything. also only starts microing when starts losing battle instead of from the beginning What do you want? Socke is spreading his HT out so EMPs can't hit more than 1 at a time. Thus, Kas has to use snipe on HTs instead of EMPs. What exactly more could he do? How about starting to micro that battle right away and moving his army to the ramp where zealots would have just died from such a choke

The 2-0 mass zealot + archon timing is quite common on the EU ladder.

Nice socke 
fucking amazing read dude.
|
Game 4, (Socke vs Kas, Score 2-1), Shattered Temple, Socke spawns at the 9 o'clock, Kas at 3 o'clock.

Just that it's completely, like 100% different when you start with VR....

Zealots have one armor to start with, so +2 armor gives them three, and guardian shield takes off two damage, which means marines actually do one damage a hit to zealots at that point (after they go through their plasma shields).

Betting for 1-1-1 allin from Kas this game, really surprised haven't seen it from him this far as he uses it a lot when streaming >.>

Socke vs Kas. So far, great TvPs. First game Socke gets greedy on taldarim and looses to an all-in after going nexus first. Second two games were great macro games. Socke's micro has been fantastic, and has been doing lots of cool stuff like warp prisms, forward cannons, extra templar for feedback, and early VR harass. Last game there was also a VR with 29 kills and 3 hull hp left from the start of the game that was totally awesome.

I don't know. I think Socke is winning from superior strategies, not micro. Game 2 was the Warp Prism into the base tactic. Game 3 was the Void Ray early pressure decimating Kas's tech.
I respect your opinion though.
