The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans:

1. Whining about stream
2. Bashing other games
3. Flaming other users
4. Bashing players
5. Complaining about imbalance

Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#)

Because when a Code S spot is on the line, he should do anything to get it.

I hate the TvP 1-1-1 right now but you can't fault pros for using it until a counter gets found/a patch is done.



cept MVP, who said anyone who uses 1-1-1 is disgraceful and that he wont use that op build anymore .... what a baller

Yeah I'm pretty sure he never said those exact words. Were you complaining when MC was winning GSLs with 6gates almost every game PvZ?

Actually MVP said worst. He said people who use 1-1-1 should be disqualified from tournaments, period. At least MVP is a person who depends on his skill to carry him through. Much respect for MVP. No respect for puma.


From MVP interview:
Q: You've said some things about Terran balance on Twitter recently. (laughs)
A: 1-1-1 is very strong. Because it has a lot of applications, it's really powerful. It's extremely difficult for Protoss. Even though it's really strong, I've rejected the 1-1-1 and don't use it in my games. (laughs) Fans have a lot of different reactions to the 1-1-1, but players can't help it. Don't progamers have to win? You have to understand how important it is. [T/N unsure on this last sentence, sorry. seems like MVP admits it is strong but thinks fan backlash is a little too harsh]


Must be fun being wrong I guess.

Milkis did actually retweet an MVP tweet where he did say during some of the Code A games that 1/1/1 should be disqualified. He clarified with the interview you cited later on.

Thanks Kiwi for showing us yet another method of holding a 1/1/1 that doesn't work. I guess it's useful for completeness's sake :D

Nope. Engage early -> you saw what happens. Wait -> he slow pushes while pumping marines, you can't tech, you die to marine dps.

well... a patch is coming and this patch affects the 1-1-1 so we should stop whining now and see how it goes. (Just saying not saying it is IMBA and needs to be patched, rather protoss gets buffed so we should see how it goes)

Why would Kiwi engage right there? He was in the middle of the map, so he could've danced and retreated all the way back to his base, stalling for time. With half of Pumas SCVs with the push, the longer Kiwi waited, the more he would get ahead in supply for the final battle. Nothing to be gained by charging into battle in the middle of the map.

Yeah I don't understand that either. Seems like that counter should revolve around delay, delay, delay, and never push while hes sieged if you can avoid it (which you can when its in the middle of the map). Puma had half his SCVs there doing nothing, and Kiwi had plenty of room to fall back since he engaged so far out, not sure why he didn't bide his time longer

The possibilities are : he could be a very dumb player, but Kiwikaki is actually a extremely smart player as seen by his creative and well timed builds, the other possibility would be that his patience had ended but he is also an extremely good poker player so that's not it either and the last option we have is that you guys are actually just wrong (constant marine production provided by mules means that stalling without an expo is no good).

Puma just lost any respect I had for him.

Stop you can't blame him for using a strong build


You can, MVP has self respect so he refuses to use 1-1-1, there's a real player


self respect refusing to use a specific build? that's just retarded, thats like saying its self respect to not 6pool someone

dont think MVP can pull off 1-1-1 builds as perfectly as puma does.

MVP would more than likely pull it off better than Puma.

I dislike the 1/1/1. It's broken. I don't abuse it when I play. I play straight up. I could use it and do extremely well but what's the point? It's like cheating to get infinite items in a game. It's boring. It's stupid. And it's broken.

Lol you complain too much, Kiwi needed to stall for time and he didnt do that.

MC loses with 1 gate FE : "1 gate fe is so greedy, stall the push and put up a stargate"
Kiwi stalls the push and puts up a stargate: oh wait fucking mules exist so puma can keep up marine and tank production. Every time a protoss gets destroyed by this people will theorycraft a new bronze level solution to this build that has been nearly unstoppable in pro level play.

big mistake to cancel the nexus tbh, if you don't have a nexus there is no reason for terran to force the issue and try to attack you, with nexus pressure is on terran and has to make something happen quick before the nexus kicks in, and having ure army in the middle to fake engagements + phoenixes threatning to snipe banshees delays the push a lot ..

He also didn't have to engage there when all tanks were already sieged .. at least engage when some tanks are not sieged when he tries to move forward


can you cite some examples of holding a nexus when facing a 1/1/1? I'm zerg and not so aware of the TvP meta, but to quote TT1 when replying earlier to someone else who suggested canceling the nexus was a poor choice, "lol."

agreed on the poor engagement, and delay though.

15 Nex and 1gate FE can be held and are considered the best against 1/1/1. A 3 gate FE or 3 gate robo into expand the nexus has to be canceled.

LoL....why are people surprised that 1/1/1 won the Terran another game. Puma probably realized that Kiwikaki was actually good, stopped screwing around with his food and didn't want to risk anything. since 1/1/1 is a guaranteed win.

The only reason why he didn't want to 1/1/1 in the first place is because he's gonna get a lot of hate for it because at least the Korean fans know it is imbalance. Only the foreign fans are clueless and think the fault always lies with Protoss even though there is a mountain of evidence proving otherwise.


And exactly from where did you took the idea that anyone thinks that the fault lies with the Protoss? If I read "The 1-1-1 is op because it is easier to execute than to defend" one more time I'll slit my wrists(not because it is wrong, but because of the amount of times this is said, just clarifying).

You know... my biggest problem isn't even the build itself.

It is this one build destroying an entire matchup, it's supereasy for Terran too execute and has a insanely high winrate, so yeh sure I would use it too.
But it completely sucks the fun out of watching, so yeh i'm gonna say it, the current state of PvT is hurting E-sports.
There shouldn't be such insanely strong all-ins in an competetive RTS game, not from any race.

Well, it took until after the games had ended for me to see my first legit one of these. Well played LR, well played.

quoted for truth

protoss diamond players in the thread needs to stop crying because it's getting really old. it is not unbalanced one bit. Kiwi did not counter that build and he wasnt even expecting it since he put up a nexus that he later cancelled.


:-D :-D :-D :-D I am Masters terran and I still think its a little bit too strong...have someone even ever held it, if he didn't know its coming, like 3 gate exp doesnt work, 3 gate robo neither, 4gate + robo + stargate may... we can easily get back the 5 raxx reaper vs. Z and terran it all the way!! But than it wud be all TvT's and blue flames :-D...


A player that dont know the 1-1-1 is coming deserves to lose. The force of the 1-1-1 lies in it being "scoutable" and not easily countered even still.


Everyone knows the 1-1-1 is coming.. The fans know it, casters know it, the players know it, God knows it, Blizzard knows it.... EveryONE knows its coming lol.

About a month ago, every Code S toss blind countered it in GSL. They still lost to it.

Every. Damn. Time.

because after the 20 second warpgate nerf 2 rax is guarunteed to force a cancel on the nexus or kill it and then its basically free win for terran, search for why Koreans think the 1/1/1 is imbalanced thread.

HuK held a MKP 3 rax with a 1 gate FE. Sup son?


HuK lost to Ganzi's 1-1-1 last MLG. Sup son? :|

IMMVP doesn't condone the usage of 1-1-1 all-in because he sees it as OP too. Is he an idiot?

I don't get why people keep saying this, if MVP thought 1-1-1 had 100% win-rate in TvP then he would do it every time until it got nerfed. Just because MVP made a light-hearted comment about 1-1-1 being OP, it doesn't mean that he won't do the build...



I guess the question becomes, when's the last time he did it

Can't say I'm disappointed. Coca/Bomber/DRG/Puma is a pretty sick winner's semi-finals.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.
