But instead, MC decided to go for phoenix + mass stalkers with blink and aim for a base race scenario with a hidden expansion. Stalkers are shit vs 1-1-1 all in. He also invested a lot of resources in DTs." Frankly, I don't give a shit about what anyone says about this build anymore, especially if they think something is a "good counter". I've seen so many good Protoss players in the GSL know it's coming, try all sorts of different stuff, and still get rolled, that I'm not going to believe anything I don't see work with my own eyes. Especially since I saw this particular solution (Chargelot/Phoenix) lose pretty decisively. Watch Tassadar vs Yoda on Crossfire in Code A August, if you're interested. Frankly, considering pretty much every Protoss player on TL agrees the most reliable way of handling it is an early Nexus into 4 Gate Robo, and that is what MC tried against PuMa in his most successful attempt, you're just coming off as both arrogant and ignorant here. You can go over to one of the threads discussing the 1/1/1 and show your credentials off there, if you wish. On that, MaNa just crushed PuMa's 1-1-1 with FE into 5 Gate Robo. Good micro, positioning and "where and when" to engage won him the game ezpz.
Sorry Mana barely held that off on a map with the longest rush distance 6 oclock to 12. So you are suggesting you need to play like that and barely hold it off and this strat is countered? lol

Xel'naga is good 1-1-1 map.
Yes it was countered, he won the game. Starcraft is not that simple, you don't have a really counter to the build, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the "doable" builds against 1-1-1. Don't lol me plz.

You need to stop being ignorant. At one point and time people always think something is over-powered until the solution to the problem is publicly known over time. I don't care what you claim to think I'm telling you that top terrans[including thorzain] know very well chargelot phoenix counters and destroys 1-1-1 all ins. On top of their confirmation, I'm also willing to back up my claims with paypal bets.
Saying some one lost to the 1-1-1 who is a good player or that the general population agrees means nothing at all, not even a tiny bit of meaning behind it. At one point all of TL agreed ZvP was impossible, yet new ways were found. I'm telling you right now that chargelot phoenix is a sure way to beat 1-1-1 and with time other people will find out it is.
By the way, naux feel free to private message me to arrange a game. I'll gladly accept your challenge.
EDIT:
chargelot phoenix can hold some variations of 1-1-1, those that hit at 8-9 min. If your opponent decided to turtle up and wait till he has 30-40 marines 5 tanks, 2-3 vikings 2-3 banshees, you will lose without higher tech.
To get 2-3 vikings + 2-3 banshes + 5 tanks and 40 marines takes a very long time to get out, and the great thing about phoenix's is you have a fast and reliable scout to see if they're waiting to push out. If they do that you can respond properly. My personal favirote is to follow up with storm due to having twilight already available If you're allowed to get storm vs marines which you will be if they wait for so many units, you still win.

I kinda agree with you --- I think (some form of scouting)-> into storm rapes the later 1-1-1's pretty badly, but I dont know if I agree with you about not expanding..
1 gate nex -> robo seems best to me, or nex first. When you scout him you can still storm rush if he's doing a late 1-1-1.

Just watched the vods, gotta say the production is great. Really liking it so far. Although, the mouse clicking got annoying and JP's mic picked up like an echo in the room. But other than that, great work.

I cant seem to get any Vods to work from twitch.tv.

Nope, I have the same problem.

Trying to avoid spoilers while going through this thread. VoDs anywhere? The twitch.tv link doesn't work.
Edit: Oh nm the slider for the time just doesn't work. I can still watch and skip forward/backwards. <3

Nice results for the america round!
