You mean Daezang. Yeah I watched that. That was kinda sad; it turned into a QQ session with him, superstar and the other guy.

I've seen pretty much every supposed counter in the book fail on Huk's stream if we wanna go into ladder territory. Puzzle beat FXOasd recently with it on the GSTL. Thats another one of those "I hope terran horribly botches this" games I think. 3 free banshees, 200 orbital energy. Yup.
People are saying this push isn;t as bad as it looks.
Its actually WORSE IMO. The only reason terrans aren't doing it EVERY time is because they don't want to draw attention to themselves like IMYoda. Currently, the mere threat of the 1-1-1 is powerful enough to give every terran one free game in a best of whatever.
Korea recognizes this, and thats why they have given IMMVP the name of "conscience terran"

So Terran makes mistakes and loses it's fine. Whereas if Protoss makes a mistake and loses it's 1-1-1 imba.

Nono. People are saying the only way to hold tank marine allins is to hope Terran does something wrong like a blithering idiot.

Every single one of your posts of late have been balance complaints about 1-1-1. I think you have some good, valid points, but I also think you could take a little break from this issue to cool yourself down a bit, especially in a LR thread for a matchday in which nobody used 1-1-1.

It certainly used to but after all the void/warpgate nerfs it doesn't anymore.
I mean, if you proxy it and it doesn't get scouted? Yeah, sure. But that's an unreliable cheese. If you straight up 3gate void and they see it early they can hold very easily with bunkers+marines.
A cheese being the only counter to something is obviously broken.
Specially if you have to bring some kind of "double" cheese. 3 gate / VR was the original counter to the 1-1-1, abusing the small window you had between building 3 structures and start pumping units. But then, it was nerfed. With the changes of VR, they start doing less damage and they become a less optimal counter because they didn't kill marines and stuff fast enough. Therefore, to make it work now, not to miss that small windows (low count of marines), you have to proxy the VR...
1-1-1 is broken, and a bad thing for the game because it forces protoss to play like crap, because they have a very limited set of options to hold a 1-1-1. That's why Genius went proxy-VR two times, and why Killer always goes 15nexus. These are two blind counters to 1-1-1.
Now, protoss is playing blind, and that gives an enormous advantage to terran. If he goes 15nexus, all terran builds let you 2rax/3rax/4rax and attack. If he goes ultra-defensive style, you can always just expand and benefit from a huge lead.

LOL, Toss don't make mistake and still lose. Teraan can afford some mistakes and still own with 111. And if you're so smart, show all the Toss in Korea how to stop it.

Gah, just read one of the multiple threads on 111 if you lack this kind of understanding...
This is actually just wrong.
The easiest way to hold the 1-1-1 is by going straight into colossus and stay on one base.
Problem is of course, that you might be far behind if anything else is done.
1 gate into expand or nexus first gets 'more stuff faster' but push it back in time, so you won't have colossus out in time to stop any sort of push so you are stuck with immortals - whereas you could otherwise get out 1 immortal 1-2 colossus (no range).
Terrans are doing 1 base pushes because they can't easily be stopped by forcefields. If Z had the same option, they'd be doing the exact same thing. 1 gate expand IS greedy, because it sacrifice early tech and units for later econ and more units but much later tech. And that tech is what's needed.

Youll get contained until thermal lance is done. By that time, the game is over.
There is no greedy when it comes to 1-1-1. Early expos are always better. The expansion always pays for itself.

Every1 keeps saying this. It might be correct, but then again it may not? I don't feel this has been proven and it seems rather uncreative to put this argument in the face of everyone who thinks otherwise!?

Well there are games out there but they might be a bit old. Consider that the result is pretty obvious. Tanks are really fucking good at containing. 1 Base colossus with thermal lance DOES eventually break you out of 1 base jail. But terran has 3 bases and the result is obvious.
Remember the SCV's can just go home once the contain is setup.

Genius tried to make a macro game first up. Virus did a 2-1-1 allin and Genius died.
Then Genius did proxy stargate twice in a row. That's the state of PvT these days thanks to 1/1/1
