Oh yeah even better example. I almost forgot about that.

Replace 20 bunkers with 20 spines then.

Replace bunkers with spine crawlers then.

A high eco bling bust fails horribly if the opponent knows it's coming a few minutes beforehand because he will be building factory units, Tanks with siege or BFH counter it pretty hard with a wall.
|
I'm confused by the fact that Genius proxy void ray twice.
Don't know wether he practiced it vs 1-1-1 or he just assumed Virus it's not an abusive player so he could proxy him with no 1-1-1.
In my mind, 1-1-1 counters proxy void ray hard, so it must be the second.

all the people who say Protoss should do this and that to stop 111 think they are so smart and better than all the pro protoss players in Korea yet they cannot provide any proof of anyone defending a properly executed - Korean standard 111.
Artosis is funny as well, he should show a tutorial of him defending a good 111 by a Korean. Then, he can bash GSL toss players for FE against 111.

Or just be funny and build a row of 6 raxes haha. It's comically easy to stop pretty much all allins if you know they're coming well in advance. Except 1/1/1 of course, where knowing its coming actually makes very little difference.

Desperation and proxy void is still the strongest Protoss 1base allin even if it's quite bad now. What else could he do? 4gate lol?

If zerg makes 20 spines off 2 base they already lost the game...

On one base too. Don;t forget that. Him and wolf can show us the way.

You can't tech switch to siege or blue flame that quickly if you're FEing. Watch Jinro vs Morrow or especially Jinro vs July. He built the craziest wall in Starcraft history, then misread July as he all-ined off 2 base and completely destroyed Jinro.

Well you wouldnt need 20. Spine crawlers have default 2 armor dontcha know.

Maybe he decided he didn't want to deal with this shit after game 1, and just hoped Virus would mismanage his defense.

Assuming that's true, it still doesn't mean anything. He doesn't play SC2 full-time unlike Superstar. Former BW pro doesn't say much. For all we know he could be bad (and by bad I mean by good Korean standards) at both SC1 and SC2. Rainbow was a former A-teamer on SKT, nowadays he spends most of his time owning people in NA server, dating and preparing for military service. He even has trouble executing a proper 4 gate in PvP. Yellow was former BW pro as well. After 1/2 months of playing (according to project A), he's in Gold league (recently promoted to Masters if you believe the rumors).

The point is about holding an allin. If Protoss tells you "I'm gonna 6gate you", and you merely need to do everything you can to stop that, it's trivial, right? Build tons of spines and some units if you feel like it. Obviously that's not generally a good strategy because they might be faking or something, but it'll certainly stop any attempted 6gate allin.
OTOH no matter much you commit to it, no matter how much you know exactly what they're doing, you'll still die to the 1/1/1 more often than not.
|
A 1-1-1 is only as good as the scouting intel that Terran gets. Deny the scout, deny a good 1-1-1. Scout what type of 1-1-1 it is, you'll be fine. It's a highly intel based build.

Man did I miss some upsets in the first two sets, looks like base on the recommendations MMA vs Polt was bad, but Keen vs Bomber was good? I hate waking up early now for 12+ hour school days, no more GSL for me for a while.

Depends what 1-1-1 your going really.
If your just going 1-1-1 without planning for the allin and you make vikings, yes you can hold good.
If you just build a banshee and a tank and the VR's come then things aren't looking very good ^^.

Well its hard to find examples of people failing using shitty strategies. I mean, I can't find an example of someone trying to mothership rush a 1/1/1 and failing either. People know - and have known for ages - that an early expo is the best chance against a 1/1/1. So any attempted defence you look for will involve one of them.

The korean commentator, forgive me I don't know his name right now, is really good at SC2. He is borderline pro level but for obvious reasons is not a pro if I am mistaken.
Im trying to think of a foreigner equivalent but nothing is coming to mind.
