Is that all you can say after the finals? And 3 Protoss in the top4?
Grow up, the game is fine


Have you not watch the Korean matches lately? It's pure 1-1-1. Follow the Korean twitter and their community and you'll know how bad it is. The EU scene is not an indication of top level play when they all got 3-0 in the semi-final.

game 2: MC was again ahead in supply, somehow lost.
too many expansions eating up minerals.
I question your understanding of how expansions work.

The game has shifted back to 1 basing for Terran TvP instead of towards macro play like every other matchup. That's a hint there's something wrong with the fundamental game design here.

why the heck is it fine that toss complain about 1/1/1, and not ok when zerg complain about blink stalker allins?

If you are wondering..neither are needed.

Because:
1. ZvP is in general in favour of zerg right now. TvP is in favour of terran.
2. Blink stalkers is not impossible to beat at all, and not as prevalent.
3. You can scout blink and counter it ez. 1/1/1 doesn't matter if you know its coming or not. you still lose, no matter how good you are (almost).
4. Even if protoss holds on, Terran just does it all over again (Game 1 in this very set).

Why the heck is a zerg even in this thread complaining about pvz? 1/1/1 is terrible right now, doesn't matter what goes on in pvz.



keep in mind mc also lost the nexus in the first push in the 1st game, he also rebuilt it and over-econned it is a VERY hard position to lose form but he made every thing possible to make it so.

i would love the 30 second pdd that doesn't need energy and blocks everything ranged. Oh wait different game.
Hope they move the raven to fusion core, but remove the need for a techlab *-*. Reactored ravens yay !

"he would have definitely gotten the raven, seeing as how he got 2 tanks that had a pdd covering them with most of the stalker surviving."


He would lose all his stalkers and not even kill the raven. You wont kill the raven with a pdd...

rofl blink stalker all-in is freewin for zerg if he scouts it

all the QQ about 111 comes from the fact that this push is so strong that you can't even properly theory-craft a perfect counter-BO. Each and every other all-in from each and ever other race can be countered for a 100% guaranteed win (equally skilled players) if one knows that it's coming. Not the case with 111.

Why is it so hard to comprehend this?

wow so sad when the best toss player in the world can't beat 1/1/1. At least there is bound to be a patch soon Always look for the silver lining.


How on earth would a patch help? What is there to patch? How can you nerf this specific build?

Nerf marines. Buff some underused units to help them cope.

Well, PvT metagame right now is just Terran favored. Protoss just needs sometime to cope with it. But still I think these 3 games can go either way really.
In the last game, If MC didn't leave with his stalker he can stall the Terran army even more and build up some unit to stand a head to head fight.

I wonder why every unit is weaker than it's counterpart

Storm does 40 DPS EMP does 100
Stim Mauruars do 30 DPS stalkers do 14 DPS
2 tanks do over 25 DPS a more expensive collusi do 18
on own the line Protoss is just weaker.


Protoss weaker? still 3 toss in top 4 lol

Look in korea.... Foreign events aren't that important. It was also a 3-0.... With a player who won 2 gsls. But, The third game was really weird, and I really don't agree with who you quoted. I just wish the finals was more entertaining.

And MC won 0 times in 3 games. Problem?


PvT~


Mana beat Puma 2-0 in group play.

MC and Puma both played a lot worse in the group stage, probably due to jetlag. Mana is not at Puma's level.

I remember reading this LR thread for the first game where MC held the first 1-1-1 and I was a bit pensive after that. But then reading a few pages later

Ditto with the 2nd game!
