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! (#)

serious question: with the expo having so much surface area, why wouldn't kiwi keep delaying until puma has to push through the cavern? why engage earlier if your advantage increases over time?

im so tired of seeing this shit.
tell me, HOW does his advantage increase over time?
bottom line:
1) mass marines only dealt with aoe
2) marine ball constantly growing
3) kiwi had no chance of getting aoe since both templar and colossus require time and resources he didnt have

would you rather he waited until puma slow pushed to the chokes of his natural?

Let me lay it out for you since you clearly dont know how the game works. The longer he stalls the bigger the economic advantage he has because puma pulled half his scvs. Hopefully you can understand the math behind it now or you have no hope.

at that point the problem was going to be mass marines since kiwi had no chance of getting any AOE and he had enough scvs to constantly build marines, PLUS MULES.


Kiwi had superior production with a starport, 3 gates, and a robo. He would of outproduced Puma by a big margin if he just waited a bit longer.

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.


I'm pretty sure 1 gate FE into 3 gates can hold any 2 rax.


Then your Robotics is too late and you die to cloak Banshees. The problem isn't really the 2rax or the 1/1/1, it's the inability to have the slightest clue what the Terran is doing until after you've committed to a tech path.

It was pretty clear that Kiwi tried to trick Puma into doing the 1-1-1, hoping to hold it.

Why is it so clear?


Because XNC is the best map for the 1-1-1, and the map was picked by Kiwi. Of course he saw it coming.


I don't think he would have expanded then... He was obviously thrown off a bit.


He expanded to "force" Puma into the 1-1-1. It was obvious he would cancel it, and add more gateways.

Are there more games? Nothing on the stream seems to indicate one way or another. Anyone know if the day is done or what's going on?

except if they go anything else than 1/1/1 or go cloak banshee u are just f***ed.

The 3rd 1 in the 1/1/1 makes banshees.... lol
They get marines, tanks, and banshees.
Edit: if you go too zealot heavy there's nothing to deal with banshees.

Lol, PuMa was Flash's practice partner and some other pros as well in BW.

It's not because he uses 1-1-1 that he's suddenly a piece of crap. PuMa is much more skilled RTS-wise than everybody else in this tournament.


Sorry man, but that's a load of crap. People can keep saying how he practiced with Flash all you want, but to call him the most skilled is absolutely asinine and discrediting a lot of the guys who are actually there including the very man who has the most accolades there. -_-


Uhh, I'd say Puma already has the most accolades there, well hes won the most money atleast

I won't cry about 2 rax, it is a great build, you never get into a bad position when using it. You just have to deal with it, its part of the life of playing a RTS game. Grow up tosses.


You're joking right? So many zergs have held off the 2-rax even when the 2-rax was first discovered Not just Korean zerg, mind you. Just a couple of Protoss have held it off and that was just due to Terran screwing it up. This is at Korean level play.

Comparing 1/1/1 to 2-rax is just idiotic.

What Kiwi did wrong was that he did not flank from two sides. I've rarely seen a well executed 1/1/1 defeated except by flanking. You need to split the marines and scvs from the tanks and go in from behind with zealots and/or immortals. This also minimizes tank splash.

The weakness of the 1/1/1 all-in is the same weakness that Protoss death balls have - they have to stay together, which makes it possible for you to out-maneuver them and flank, esp. given the siege/unsiege delay. Protoss can learn a few tips from Zergs in this respect.


THIS!

Less QQ more GG!

I was VERY impressed with Kiwi, I can't wait for tomorrow. :D Though sadly, Slasher's hair isn't going anywhere.

and how are u supposed to know 1/1/1 is coming? a voidray all in is a blind counter, not a scouted one

void rays are strong vs terran but you can avoid by not building at the ramp.
even if it is a blind counter, its still shitty game design as we will see more and more protosses try that just to not die to 1-1-1 (genius in gsl).

He has a moronic fanbase if they DONT want him to use the best builds possible.

Do you think he should have bided more time TT1? He knew that he already pulled a bunch of SCV's. Why not sit back a bit more and get out a ton of more units and overwhelm Puma.


yea he should have stalled for as long as possible, the more he delays the attack the stronger his compo becomes because of immortal/phoenix get really strong vs pumas composition the higher they get in number, that and he had a better eco so stalling would have allowed him to pump more units.. basic math t.t

i think he just got anxious and just engaged without thinking, should have just forced puma to slowpush his way towards his base so could have bought himself as much time as possible


Doesn't work like that exactly lol Marine numbers increase in effectiveness exponentially, the longer you wait on 1 base, the more impossible it becomes to hold the marine portion without AoE.

You need to 1 gate (w/ or without) robo expand, and stall to allow your econ advantage to kick in and hold it with a similar composition kiwi had (zealot immortal sentry heavy), then use stalkers to clean up banshee and whatever is left.

its a protoss progamer you're trying to correct o_o

I'm pretty sure 1 gate FE into 3 gates can hold any 2 rax.

Do you even play Protoss? If 1gate FE could hold off a 2rax then I would do it every game


You cut probes and chrono warp gate, good 20/22 nexus expand man.


Exactly. 1 gate expand can hold 2 rax all ins/pressures easily with good micro and execution. You are losing to 2 rax most likely because either you are going 1 zeal 1 stalker sentry 1 gate fe or have been skimping on units for various reasons.
