Why isn't there a supply depot there? Quite ridicolous to be honest, seems obvious that White-ra didn't know it. Losing because of lack of information about their map version is just lame...
He obviously didn't know it, but it's his responsibility to find that stuff out. Besides, like I said, pretty much all tournament-made maps have that disabled, so it doesn't seem bad to just assume that's the case, even if you don't know for sure. It's probably better to eat a not-insurmountable econ disadvantage then lose the game because your cannon rush doesn't actually work.

popular belief is phoenixs but i dont like to do that, if u cant hallu scout with phoenixs 24/7 then u should go stargate cus u always have to be ready for a mut switch but if u scout correctly(which ill admit is hard) then u can hold it with blink stalkers + cannons(u need an early 3rd tho) while making an op army(cus mut comps are extremely weak obv), the key is being ready for the transition beforehand.. if u get caught off guard then ur pretty much fucked
I've held it off quite a few times with blink stalkers, archon, cannons etc and built up to a deathball. But the zergs always just go for a basetrade if you move out to take another base or attack. Doesn't matter if your army is stronger than his with zerg bases all over the map there's almost no way to win a basetrade .
theres actually no way to win a basetrade, just gotta mass cannon + sentry to hold the counters but the problem with that is that it puts ur econ so far behind which makes ur 200 200 push sorta allinish, and if the z chooses not to basetrade with u and just engages ur army that makes for alot of wasted mins on static d =/, ur obv gonna win the 200 vs 200 engamgents vs the z but by then hes usually on 4-5 bases and has enought econ to max out 2-3 times so they eventually manage to whittle ur army down
Yeah that's exactly my problem atm. Maybe I'll just have to try 2 stargate phoenix to try and force them out of muta's.

Getting to semifinals at GSL twice does though...
Hongun may not be GSL champion material but he is one of the best GSL Protoss.

Gogo research blink within 5 minutes now Ra, just in case :>
I had no idea using a strategy that is successful is now considered cowardly.
Its abusive, lol.
LR threads:
Attacks early = cheese Uses the strengths of its race= abusive Makes a timming attack= all in etc..
Don't mind those comments
So Terran plays 95% of their games abusive, because they build tanks in 95% of thier games, and use the strength of their race? WTF man? You have to use the strengths of your race, you can't win any other way.
