The only way to hold 111 is with an expo...and MVP didnt prepare perfectly. This attack is not the same as a 111 because protoss sacrifices tech to do this attack where in a 111 the terran sacrifices an expo. The response to hold this attack is to tech slightly more than the toss(stim/combat sheild/medivacs). Not to econ more than the toss. The reason that you cant econ more than the toss is because your third base cant pay for itself before they hit with the attack. Also, MVP was researching upgrades, was building an armory, had a third base, had a factory, and was building a starport. MC had an army with no upgrades, no third expo and no tech. So ya this is different than protoss whining when they lose to 111. | ||

It's just that 200 food infestor/broodlord with roach reinforcement will beat anything other than an archon toilet, and 200 food viking ghost marauder medivac will beat anything Protoss has, period, providing that you don't suicide the ghosts/vikings before the fight. There's a reason that Protosses like 2base allins in both PvT and PvZ, and it's not because players aren't capable of playing macro games. | ||

He had 4 bunkers sure, but do 4 cannons help much against a 1/1/1? are you seriously comparing cannons to bunkers??? | ||

It was a completely blind all in; but hey - it works, especially on a map like Tal'Darim You wouldn't know it's blind unless you straight-up ask MC. Maybe it was starsense. Or maybe he looked at the replay of last game and thought that MVP would got fast 3rd CC again. Stop being such a biased fanboy. I don't even like MC's play half the time and like MVP better than MC, but trying to downplay what MC did there by claiming it was blind without proof is ridiculous. | ||

When you see 6 gates, you just don't make a fucking 3rd CC, fast medivac and only 3 raxes. Gosh these Terran tears are just absurd. are you serious? Protoss 15 nexus or 1 gate fe most maps anymore and go away rewarded and MVP blindly goes a build that's supposed to counter anything but a gateway timing off 1 or 2 base and he gets shit for playing greedy? He saw the attack coming it's why he made 4 bunkers and supply wall, the reason he lost is because he didn't have medivacs....its the same shit with 1/1/1 you generally lose if you dont have colo out or get caught early without immortals, scouting isn't an issue for protoss on the 1/1/1 timing because of observers and has 1/1/1 even been used in a broadcast series this MLG? lol | ||

I don't feel its entirely equal though. MC could have lost if he wasn't able to retain his sentries (which in this case was lucky AI firing) and his forcefields did really really well. His units were attacking the bunkers and only the bunkers were shooting back as far as ranged units go. He also forcefielded units of MVP's away from the fight on the left side using MVP's buildings to help him in that respect. Focus firing scvs on the bunkers with range and letting the zealots to a lot of the damage on the bunkers primarily was also a nice touch. I just feel that in this example MVP got outplayed. While I don't deny the ease of 6 gate to perform in general but its not the same as the 1-1-1 in the sense that if the first attack fails its often over and there isn't a follow up attack, scouting it is also much much easier theoretically  Both are difficult to hold but I wouldn't equate them. The 1/1/1 has more of a follow up than a 6 gate since the 1/1/1 incorporates tech so transitions are easier for Terran than no tech 6 gate for protoss. | ||
