I mean, if Genius wanted to finish the game with only chargelot + archon composition, then he should've done it right after he warped in 6 archons with his stacked gas...
That's exactly what I thought he was going to do, I was expecting those 3 Archons at a forward pylon and Genius attacking ASAP.

no, what genius should have done was 3base zealot archon into 2robo colossus, but he was getting crushed by drops before he could think about it. If you go colossus as opening you just die to every shit or at least get behind

That was awful. Archon Zealot doesn't scale well and running into a choke with that many Ghosts and that many Medivacs is suicide. Also poor drop defense. a couple of Zealots and a couple of Stalkers at main and at third and left there would have made a big difference.
That said, it was more a case of amazing play from Top rather than bad play from Genius, he could have done better but it's not that easy.

Wolf ... you have no idea how Genius play's do you.

No way, Genius wasn't that far behind because of those drops, it was Genius who completely threw the game away by attacking into a dumb position.

I wonder if Genius will consider Nexus first and pray TOP doesn't scout him first.
Best counter against 1/1/1, but then again I doubt TOP will do it on this map anyway

You cannot push into a narrow choke with archon/zealot. That composition is only really good in wide open spaces. He should have either pushed ASAP, without running there and back to defend 2 marines from dropping. Or he should have played even more macro, maybe taking the gold while transitioning to collosus.

He wasn't getting "crushed". The drops did barely nothing but upset his focus. He could have left any number or zealots, stalkers or HTs to defend against them.

IMHO he had enough time to switch to Colo before and as the drops came knocking. If he had Thermal Lance Colos Terran wouldn't be able to sit in a choke like that and force Genius to run in in frustration and lose.

2 phoenix when he was getting dropped and a decent 2 base colossus/chargelot with some stalkers to secure a 3rd wouldn't have been bad. That many archons are just way too fragile unless you are spreading them and attacking from a couple different angles. Colossus at least have health compared to archons, so EMP isn't as detrimental to your army.

Top going fast cc on the low ground. Ballsy vs a guy that's gone void rays the past four games vs terran.
