Haha I lol'd. I only realize mama bear, Clide, MKP and Revival. Did I miss someone? You know of course better. Btw what happens with your MBC blogs after they seem to disband T.T...

JYP was from MBC too.

yeah, he got 2 observers each game, went for the quickest 3-3 possible. that's as much a summary as i can give. he was upgrading like a maniac on his bio, even upgrading shields

Protoss won today with

FFE vs Z

1 gate FE vs T

vs T prioritized upgrades and macro.

vs Z priorizied removal of the third base

The thing to note about the last game is that there was a moment where the Sentries used all their energy on forcefields just before 2-2 finished where if Alive had attacked he would have won. There was no way Creator could hold if Alive hadn't turned around at that moment.

What we saw was an aborted 2 base timing attack vs a 2 basing Protoss who teched up ridiculously fast. I have no doubt a more decisive player would have won. Hell, Clide should have won if not for that absolutely absurd decision to follow up his victory in the middle of the map with an attack into Creator's natural.

Still, I'm glad to see Protoss trying new things. I think Sage is the Protoss to watch though.

I wonder if Creator's build is worth revisiting after the Immortal buff. Used to be that you wanted to make as few Immortals as possible with double forge, maybe that has changed now? Still, the primary weakness of upgrade rushes was always vulnerability to certain timing attacks. I'd like to see Creator defend the Ghost rush on a map that isn't Crossfire, or the 4 medivac +1 bio push before +2/+2 finishes. Not sure if Immortals are enough to defend that.

Still haven't seen any thread in the strategy forum about Creator's build, just waiting for someone to write that up in order to help the protoss race!

So all those guide writers out there looook here.

No Killer? There may be a rule that you don't use GSL players still in the running in the GSTL. Reveals strats, may even tire them out.

And if the coach had broken that rule, that would really have shaken Alive's confidence.

Creator's so young and did so well. I would imagine there's more pressure in a team league when all your bros are counting on you.

More pressure since he's the last player. More pressure since he has to win four in a row.

Although, less pressure since nobody was expecting him to pull it off, and he had school and little practice, so he had a ready made excuse. Regardless, gj.

He'll be really useful against NSH, chock full of Protoss and beatable players. Or against MVP, full of guys that rarely win.

why would they send killer? have you seen his match against inca?

Holy shit dude, so I love prime and especially MKP, but I had to get at least 3 hours of sleep, so After watching JYP's all-kill stopped by MKP, I went to sleep. Then just caught the sets and was amazed by Creative's clutch man, was awesome.

I am definitely stealing JYP's PvZ' mentality and Creator's PvT.

Sad for TSL but happy for Protoss.

Woah, this was unexpected, but amazing! I think this was perhaps the biggest and greatest comeback of the GSTL? But wow, I gotta watch these games. Gogo Prime!

I hope Prime doesn't lose in the finals, I really don't want to see MarineKing get another silver medal
