Really... we've fallen to this? Sure... Protoss is only limited of 100% win because there is 0 good players playing protoss. Or else a few good players actually figured out how to play it - and through endless training they've achieved a winrate above 50% which is nearly unbelievable by terran-biased players

If I went on a rant like people are in this thread every time a good protoss lost I'd have well over a thousand posts

I agree with some, that game was kinda short, I would have enjoyed a longer MVP vs MC games.

However, MC played better and deserved to win. Even in the second game when he lost, it was due to a bad engagement, otherwise, he looked like crushing MVP.

Either I am having difficulty to judge terran play, or MVP didn't show anything impressive in this series.

As for people complaining when Terrans do timing pushes, and cheering if Protoss do, I explain this by the fact that there are plenty of terrans, and almost no protoss at the top level. That's the reason.

Protoss play hasn't been "awful". 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.

People have it all wrong about the 1-1-1. The problem with the 1-1-1 is that it punished nearly every protoss build (It's extremely hard to hold even with the builds that supposedly counter it), coupled with the fact that it can't be scouted, because when you scout it it doesn't matter anymore, you're already dead. Even when held, the second wave can finish off most openers.

MC's 6-gate shares none of these characteristics, it can be easily scouted and adequately countered with easy builds.

This is no balance whine, I'm just stating the reasons why 1-1-1 is so hard to hold and why, you just need to know it's gonna happen before the game starts. For instance, when playing PuMa, MC instantly goes with his Phoenix play because he knows PuMa's gonna go for 1-1-1. I believe it was Hero who tried a proxy stargate opener on XNF against PuMa as well, because he KNEW it was gonna happen.

Clarivoyance shouldn't matter in a game of starcraft . 6-gate doesn't require clairvoyance.
