So Oz got reactive Pheonix against Mutas?
Why not go for Blink and Templar, it just seems so much better to me T_T

Am i wrong here?

Yeah, but i feel like defending a third vs that is insanely hard, and blink+storm on 2 bases just isn't going to happen.

(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No
(Vote): If you have time


the counter attacks seemed really brutal and hard to watch as a protoss player, but the game had so many excellent forcefields that you just can't vote yes

maybe his plan was to go for the protoss 1/1/1 kind of? perhaps it worked for him really well in practice, but at a glance I tend to agree that templar would have been 1. better 2. the more natural tech path (twilight already up, why not go templar?)

maybe templar are just way too immobile on bel'shir beach that his phoenix strategy was much better and we weren't able to see that showcased in this game

Templar tech. Archons, HTs and blink stalkers do quite well.

I think Jinro was the one that said Oz had some of the best PvZ in Korea. I could be wrong about who said it, but whoever it was looks right. Entertaining games. Curious is just really good. Awesome forcefields and micro

Oz played so well, and still lost.

Screw you Bel'shir Beach.

zealor archon with some blink stalkers or storms depending which tech you get archons with I'd think would go well

Curious didn't do anything special. Just played ZvP the same way most other Zergs do: power econ then attack everywhere with speedlings and fast roaches.

Man, I'd be pretty depressed if I were Oz. Played so well but at no point did it look like he could actually win the game. Never even got a chance to move out onto the map until the base trade.

I don't think the world's best Protoss could've won that, next map is TDA so he'll lose that too...gonna be a miracle to come back now, Oz needed to win one of these early games to have a chance

great play by Curious, credit where credit's due

Generally you scout it and 6 gate. That's why the style fell out of fashon.

It was never a style that was really 'beaten', though teching to blink stallkers and storm archons can work if you can defend well enough. It requires a lot more cannons than most Protoss are willing to make, and is pretty even. The six gate that hits before mutas is usually a sure win.

Huk beat Check.prime on Taldarim going up against pure ling muta. Very good game that was too.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

That was a really cool game. Curious is a beast as well. I reckon he is the next big thing in Z, will be up with DRG and Nestea soon I reckon. Very cool performance by OZ some of those forcefields were masterful, I think his problem was his expo choice at top right really hurt him against a more mobile muta ling army. His army control was terrific though.

If Oz had gotten 6 gases up without Curious noticing... he would've crushed Muta/Ling... enough to get Stalkers and H.T/Archons, but because it got scouted he had to spend so much gas on Sentries =(

Ling/Bling/Muta is actually my favorite ZvP style.

The Scariest thing to face with that composition is Archons with Photon Cannons around to shut down muta harassment.

Archons got their range buff after this style of ZvP fell out of fashion. With their range now they are really good against this in a straight up fight. the only problem is that they're slow so mutas can outmanuever them.

Oz really should have gone to kil lthe main and the tech building at first, not sure if that would have helped a lot but that would have been better (no more mutas, lings, blings)
