If you don't know how to post in a live report thread by now, be advised: don't whine about game balance and don't bash players/casters/interviewers/staff/other posters. We are monitoring this thread closely.

Stop with the USA USA chant shit. Further offenses beyond page 493 will be met with bans. You've been warned.

More gateways would have been good. Sick game though xD


That many BroodLords can just kill blink stalkers at an alarming rate...

I don't actually know if there's anything in the Protoss arsenal to deal with that large a number of BroodLords and corruptors aside from an Archon toilet. You need a Kiwikaki to deal with that.


Inori just failed. He had that game when the Void Rays came in to clean up the Broodlords, but HERP DERP I WANNA KILL SPINECRAWLERS INSTEAD.


Oh yeah, he definitely botched that part of the game, but once Stephano got out that shit-ton of corruptors, I think the only real definitive way to deal with that army composition is an Archon toilet, which is fine, because it still means it's sort of counterable.


If he was actually paying attention he could have easily killed enough BLs so that they wouldn't have mattered and remaxed on blink stalkers. Plus Stephano exhausted his entire bank on units that can't hit ground. Instead Inori let his army fall apart and get easily picked off while not having enough gateways to reinforce. That was embarrassing. A professional player should not crumble like that when he has the game won.

That's not the right question to ask. Stephano only got to that composition only because he was already so so far ahead.

It would be akin to asking how to do you beat BC/Thor.

Exactly, Stephano was ahead, and with his advantage made tons of spine crawlers.

It's not just his army composition that is strong, it's the fact he has so many spine crawlers and can remax safely.

Also Inori had only 9 gate and was floating like 3k ressources.

there is nothing you can do against 20 broodlords + 20 corrupter ^^
20 broodlords just destroy any amount of blink stalker and corrupter outnumber void rays easily. archon toilet is the only chance you have.

Well, we have Incontrol in Europe, I think he is hope for all of us Euro.

Not really... what are you talking about? They both had a massively high value army and had a split map situation where they were trading relatively evenly.

And the way to beat it was shown to us in the form of an archon toilet, super-duper mass storm can also sort of work.

I was gonna say the same thing, people always hating on Europe. He's no Stephano but he's pretty solid, shows that there is hope for Europe yet

And this is the reason zerg is so hard to balance IMO.
Zergs complain about corrupters so often but imagine if you could just mass produce a GOOD anti-air flyer like that. He was hit with a massive airforce and could counter instantly, this is how zerg is designed but its still something that needs to be considered when saying stuff like "this unit is soo bad".

Not sure if protoss couldve done it if he saved the void rays longer.

if the protoss player would have made more gateway he would have be able to to switch to mass stalker then all of those 28 corruptor would have be useless

With all these effects on the stream, when I tab out I don't know if I'm hearing the sound effects from Star Trek or if it's actually IPL3.

I absolutely love it.
