This series was awful, and what happened to White-Ra? Did he lend his account to somebody else? All his engagements in the last three matches were super poor.

just wonder if in the last game white-ra could have pressured at some point when dde had a metric shitton of bio in the red with no medivac energy

Well, dde has better something prepared for the final, because he can not count on Socke taking terrible engagements like White-Ra did in the last three matches.

On the other site, TLO vs. White-Ra? I like

Why are Protoss players not building a ring of cannons around their bases when faced by a Terran? Its a pain to move from A to B on many maps with all your forces and a minimal investment of a few hundred minerals can neutralize those evil Terran drops because Medivacs are somewhat squishy.

Tyler got punished by drops severely yesterday and today White-Ra does have to divert his attention from "the front" as well; its a mess nonetheless.

Probably because cannons cost money and because Marauders destroy builds far too quickly with stim.

Said Marauders have to be dropped first and if the cannons are placed at the rim of the landmass they get 2-3 shots off on the Medivac (at least) before those nasty Marauders are dropped ...

On maps with long cliffs like Shattered you need like 4 - 5 Cannons to cover everything, i.e. 600-750 minerals. That's absolutely not worth it, better get some extra Gateways to always be able to warp in there, or leave a couple of Stalkers. Blink Stalkers are the 2nd best counter to drops imo, Phoenix being #1 but that's a big investment as well.


Obviously you need "enough cannons" and if you build too few it is bad and you have to think about it this way: 3 cannons are just 5 Zealots preemptively warped in to defend which dont even cost supply and which can shoot air. Every time a Protoss warps in defensive forces he has the resources to build cannons and Marauders are able to deal with a round of those if supported by Medivacs.

Shattered Temple has a pretty long "cliffline" which is open to space, but there are maps where 2-3 cannons would be enough defense.

No supply is the only thing the Cannon has going for it, other than that Blink Stalkers are better in every way, you should agree with that. They can actually chase a dropship AND Blink away to avoid death. In the late late game where you are maxed and have spare minerals, sure throw down Cannons but in the mid game you should invest in a better army imo and just leave some Stalkers.

White-Ra lost the Metalopolis game due to the one drop into his main ... which allowed DDE to kill his gold expo. He also didnt have blink Stalkers at the time ... mostly Zealots, Sentries and some Colossi. Just as TB and d'Apollo said: a split Protoss force is too weak, but thats what would happen with your blink Stalkers responding to the drop and leaving the rest of your army elsewhere (unless you have pure blink Stalkers, but thats a weakness because you cant ever tech switch and it makes you predictable.

Just stop listening to the Day[9] mantra of "that's a Spine Crawler he didnt want to build" and look at it this way: a penny saved is a penny earned and preventing these drops will save you more resources than you have to spend to rebuild / counter it. Drops are very very very efficient if you only react when the units are already on the ground.
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.

I can't watch this defensive macro TvP style from other Protoss after watching ogsMC do it.

The timings aren't as crisp, the upgrades are slow. The drop defense is so much worse. The lack of blink stalkers. The storms just not landing. The lack of harass. Floating resources.
