You have units that can end the game if someone doesn't have detection. We've seen the best players in the world get caught without detection and lose games. It happens, when under pressure, even the best players can make mistakes or be a few seconds too late. When you have units that are so powerful that they can punish such a small mistake so heavily, it's hard to say Protoss is UP. missing THREE DTs is a small mistake? Are you serious?
It took a split second for those DTs to run past the lings and spore out of the range of detection. With all the other stuff going on in the game at the time, if that's not a small mistake, I don't know what is.
Nestea is not the first top player to lose a game to DTs. Maybe all these players are noobs making huge mistakes all the time, or maybe, just maybe DTs are really really strong?

Seriously, we need an intelligence test? Classy of you to throw an insult like that and over-react to a normal statement. Protoss has been crying for months about how to hold an all in, saying its imbalanced. Everyone kept whining about everything, mules marines tanks banshees. Now theres a build that defeats it and we saw that mvp executed his 111 pretty dam well and toss made quite a few micro mistakes but still held it, do you still think that 1 1 1 is imbalanced? Don't try to pull the statistics card. It dosen't work in this situation since the play was textbook from both players and we now know the 1 1 1 can be held off pretty easily.
All Z v P today ended in favour of the protoss, and the other protosses have been doing well with new styles. Time for new build was what protoss needed, not" oh protoss is so weak, i wanna change race and i hate this game", which is frankly what i saw everyday on LRs.
I have been rooting for protoss during this bad period but i always thought what they needed was new strategies and not try the same shit every game and complain.
I assume you think protoss is underpowered. All the best to you then.

I'd like to add a few things as well. My God, Tastosis were on the ball today. In fact, they have been for a while now. There may have been a slump for a bit, but they have totally stepped it up. I loved today, and that was no small part to them.
Next, i wanna give Tails even more credit for that all-in hold, because almost every part of that was reactionary. The 2-stalker rush was awesome to put a bit of pressure on, but he followed up perfectly. He kept his money high so he could react to what he saw in MVPs base, and did it exactly like he needed to. Not over-making immortals to make sure he constantly had observers (he had at least 2 ALL the time.) The Stargate was a perfect counter, after he saw how many banshees were left.
Yeah, he should have made sure his zealots were in the front, but my god the rest was almost perfect

It doesn't matter what you say because MVP says 111 is overpowered against Toss and MVP > you
Oh wait.....one last thing. These games occurred after Protoss was buffed against the 111. So yeah........

I just looked at the results and pooped my pants

srsly, that was a weak 1-1-1 and the toss played almost perfektly, and the big micro mistake happened when the game was over.

Lol nice argument. Thats the attitude as to why there so little innovation and so much whine. Everybody was like, eh pro players never tried it it must suck. WTF is up with this attitude, do you seriously think pro players know every single thing about the game and can come up with all the new builds? By your logic, Huk thinks he can beat 111. So huk > you so what you say dosen't matter? Or are you going to say MVP beat Huk so 111 is overpowered? I don't understand your logic and i can't be bothered to explain since you don't even want to reason but throw out statements like that.
MC held off pumas 1/1/1 in IEM and it was his followup that fucked him up. JYP held of MKPs 1/1/1 in ups and down but was too late cause he already lost like 10+ probes to hellions before the attack. Its not like it was impossible to hold it off. Tails is not even one of the best in macro/micro and he held MVPs 111 off with PLENTY TO SPARE. In fact, i argue that it was his contain and delay that made him hold it off successfully. And if this game was played out before the patch, he would still have held it albeit with slightly more losses.
Anyways if your gonna just shut me off with statements like that, theres no point convincing you since people always see what they wanna see. I could change my views if you tried reasoning but i can't be bothered. Gonna go ladder :D

IM played a really bad rotation order.
Why on earth would you play YongHwa and Losira against DRG? Losira's ZvZ is nothing amazing, and YongHwa really would have a hard time beating someone like DRG who's ZvP is awesome.
I don't understand why they didn't play MVP or NesTea against DRG sooner--- they are playing to win I would think, not just to expose other players on their team? If they had taken out DRG sooner they would have had 5 players to pit against Tails, and as good as Tails might have shown to be I really don't think he could have all-killed 5 solid players (with MVP or NesTea as ace depending on who beat DRG). This is assuming MVP/NesTea would have beaten DRG, which I would think is very likely, MVP who has the best TvZ, and NesTea with the Jaedong-esque ZvZ win ratio.
Also, glad to see Happy perform so solidly, always knew he was a really good Terran.

that was before the patch. now it is after the patch. therefore your argument is invalid. try again.

It doesn't matter what wall-of-text you say, my argument of "MVP > You" is greater than anything you say
My argument that protoss was buffed specifically for the 1/1/1 is greater than anything you can say
You have NOTHING that counters those points. Nothing.

DRG's ZvP is actually his worst matchup. DRG's ZvT is his best where he is known as the "Terran killer".

i can't sift through the tears.
how did tails beat the two best players??
mvp tried 1-1-1? and he DT rush nestea?

MVP tried 1-1-1, Tails beat it It wasn't a DT rush persay, he got his expansion first, then teched to it. Think it was reactionary to Nestea taking a quick gold

I mean what more do you want for it to count? Tails to kill one of his starting probes? Reeeead the Live Reporrts. I may have been.. livid at the moment of defeat but I was well mannered. Please reconsider Tails indisputable accomplishment. He deserves praise, not condemnation for a cheap shot he never pulled.
