No it's not, he made more Phoenix when they weren't really effective, and then went for a quick switch into Colossus while remaining Zealot heavy, a huge tech investment hoping that the Zerg would be caught off guard by the Colossus switch, which was bad. Stargate is relatively standard PvZ nowadays, practically every progamer does it. | ||

Opening Stargate wasn't the problem here, it was that he continued to make units when he should have just made the one void ray and like 4 or 5 phoenix and then focused purely on ground army. But it doesn't deny the third of good Zergs anymore. Back it some bad days it did, but now zergs are good and wreck any Protoss that goes Stargate. It is just always a terrible opening and there are VERY few players that manage to pull it off thanks to some trickery. | ||

It's not unusual for the zerg to just super mass with roaches and just roll. It looked as if MC was hoping that even with an overcommitment to corrupters the zealots could cut their way through. Or he was hoping Losira would skip corruptors or something and replace them with more infestors with neural to deal with his Colossi. MC's a great player, and was obviously trying to achieve something with tht but it looked like a blind composition, completely disregarding what he saw with his observer hoping it would work anyway. | ||

You're just not going to hurt a Zerg with any two base attack when he's on three bases. Because nowadays, by the time you have 200/200 off 2 bases, the Zerg has at least 4 bases. | ||

Moletrap.. lets just welcome our new Khaldor to replace him. But why he is a caster is beyond me. MC played absolutely terrible, I guess its just one of those days. Remember Huk said this, some days you just play poor. It happens in every sport. Dont be too quick to judge MC as bad, or on a tilt. | ||

Or was he supposed to turtle to 200/200 on two base while Losira takes the map and goes broodlord/corruptor? | ||
