...TOP's really cementing his position as a top tier player of late, probably the #1 T on oGs nowadays as well. | ||

The better player won, but there's just way too much TvT going on. my thoughts entirely, sad that Genius was one of the 3 remaining hopes for non-Terran... i don't care whether Terran is imba or not, if it's an all-terran semis imma not bother with GSL next season (unless the patch has a major impact) | ||

I need a copy of your game with range 7 stalkers :o (they've got 6... PF has 6 with the option of upgrading to 7) | ||

Genius didn't need a cost effective harass unit though. Genius dealt with the drops very poorly. You could watch a top protoss on his a-game crush the drops with good positioning/zealots/dt's, and then getting off critical feedbacks/storms which almost guarantees a victory in a fight, as opposed to letting drops run rampant while getting no feedbacks/negligible storms and eating entire EMP's while a-moving into a PF. | ||

TOP is the better player, but you'd have to be incredibly ignorant not to see that Terran is very very strong right now, it is nigh on impossible to hold the 1/1/1, as well as these Ghost timings, while Terran has the advantage in the lategame. Ironically the only game Top lost was his 1/1/1 attempt. He pretty much played it straight up macro (he's one of the best at it) the rest of the games, as evidenced by consistently being +50 food above Genius. Also, regarding your ghost timing. He didn't actually commit any time with the fast ghosts he built. He scanned, saw that it wasn't favorable, and just took a 3rd/4th and macro'd. So I really don't see anything blatantly op in Terran vs Protoss here. It wasn't the race, it was the player. | ||

Genius IMO is a great player, but right now he hasn't been preforming that well at all. He has his all-ins etc, but I haven't seen him play a super solid macro game in quite some time I want to give Genius the benefit of the doubt, he was my favorite player for the longest time...I dunno, he hasn't been impressing me lately :| I'll wait it out though, maybe next GSL he might improve, but right now I'm no longer holding my hopes up | ||

I want them to stop patching so there can be real (player produced) meta-game shifts instead of blizzard screwing around with everyone's build orders and unit mixes by buffing and nerfing via patches. | ||

But I have to admit, the Terran players are just so good! They tend to make fewer mistakes and the mistakes they do make aren't at critical moments like the ones Genius was making in Games 2 and 4. It's so easy to blame game balance, but it really doesn't have much to do with it at all. The same old "best players play terran" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagain? | ||

He didn't exactly repair the planetary in the choke. It was just there as a big buffer to help out his bio that was also in the choke. Photon Cannons would have served the same purpose, albeit with probably less effectiveness. | ||
