can't even /dance roach hydras. nothing you can do!

That could have worked, unless he spots it and forcefields the shit out of the burrowed roaches. ......burrowed roaches go under forcefields. If you have enough sentries, you keep forcefielding so the roaches can't come up. And the cannon fire just slowly kills them. You know.....for all those cannons that the Protoss snuck in your main base, you deserved to lose the game at that point.
It doesn't matter if you have cannons there or not, if you have stalkers and sentries or in a worse case, some colossuses there, you still get tons of damage done just by forcefielding the roaches. Of course, you should also keep forcefielding the ramp so the rest of the units won't get up.
And doomsville has a point if DRG would have counter attacked with burrow.

LOL at 2 Code S players going down to 2 NA players today. Both the code S players are playing absolutely terrible, and their opponents are only slightly above that. The NA players are part-timers beating full-time pros. No excuses for the Code S players. They got beat. I'm not making any excuses, all I'm saying is that the games so far have been dire and that DRG and Killer aren't playing anywhere near the level that their capable of. Even DRG's ZvT looked in poor shape judging from the strelok series, DRG at the top of his game would have run circles around him instead of his rather mediocre performance. Here's to hoping the quality of IEM picks up :/.
TSL_Killer showed inconsistent results in the past, so his performance is hardly surprising.

Also he transitioned and expanded, so it wasn't an all-in i hope you noticed that his execution was actually awful btw also throwing down a nexus after a while doesn't suddenly make it a non allin build lol Execution was "awful" (your word, cose if it beats drg that means that it was at least very good) because diferently to the 1-1-1, you need really high skill to play it. Micro the phoenixes while ff the enemy base, while ff your base, while microing your other forces, while macroing, is not an easy task.
what a bullshit post.once you've forcefielded the ramp you can just a move in his main, dont even have to micro anything at all lol. and phoenix micro is pretty much the same as banshee harrass 1-1-1.and do you think you don't have to macro when you 1-1-1 lol?
sure 1-1-1isn't the most skillful thing in the game, but at least let us have one build that is as easy to play as protoss.

How the hell do you deal with this build as Protoss?
|
I'm actually very surprised that Gatored held that Nexus, he pulled it out surprisingly well for what COULD have happened.
|
Wow cool play from Strelok
|
This a sick build from Strelok!
|
wow, impressive aggression by strelok, i fucking love it!
|
Man, that was some insane multitask and pressure from Strelok. It's too bad he kinda forgot about the banshee. I was hoping it would actually end up sniping the natural Nexus.
|
Seems like a mistake in strelok's build he is floating a ton of gas. could have got cloak ezpz
|
Would be interested to see how a heavy banshee/marauder followup would be from here...something like 2port banshee + 2-3 rax marauder with like 1-2 medivacs
Edit: of course, that may be too gas-heavy.

The NA guys have been throwing shit all over stephano performance, how does it feel to have the same thing done to you ? Not everybody has been! I'm NA, and I'm a huge fan of Stephano, and i'm so proud of him for his IPL 3 performance.
I know taking a look at my post I shoud have a said "a lot of", you have the right spirit, I'm honestly happy for Gator it's going to boost his confidence and his exposure it's exactly what Carmac was talking about in his interview.

I like Strelok's play here.

Not with such a fast nexus, but I agree, its not easy to stop because it can look like a 1/1/1

Lol I don't know why I was just thinking of attacking the protoss. Yes I guess that could have worked for defense. Not ideal though because the hydras arestill on the lowground and the phoenixes can just lift/kill roaches. Certainly better than doing nothing though.
