People should take more ninja expansions. It seems like they usually don't get scouted, atleast not early on.

Well the differences are a lot more subtle to the eye but they do matter

Brown understands the timings pretty well and he always attacks at right timings to ensure that zerg does not have too many bases up on him.

Basically, he dosen't let the zerg get up to 22 broodlords.

He harasses more with warp prism and constantly repositions his army to pick off units. Basically, these koreans know how to play a war of attrition, while what i saw from grubby was a complete stand-off game until zerg got out of control.
Thats what i feel about brown. Of course, he may get owned in code S but i'm sure if he plays to his standard he won't lose.


This guy has the right idea, fuck balance whiners.

Speedlings.

Every zerg that doesn't get gas early on huge maps like TDA is just really silly. Deny scouting and you will have a huge advantage over a Protoss player that have no clue what tech you have, how many bases you have or whether the roach/ling allin is coming or not. I'm talking about the early stage of the game btw, long before observers or halu can be done.


When going early stargate play as toss there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to not scout with phoenixes.

Read what I say maybe? Phoenix come in the game wayy too late to be able to punish that base. I'm talking about the EARLY game here. First 6 minutes,,,,,

I agree with this. It was a big oversight on Grubby's part to not scout every base with one Phoenix.
I guess he's a bit stressed since it seems he still can't beat his nemesis.

Yeah it's a very viable style, but not one that works on every map. I don't think the terrain on Metalopolis particularly suits Protoss vs Zerg, at least in a long macro game. There's only 2 real paths of approach, you can blink around a bit but it's tough to split up.

Why is everyone screaming imbalanced. Do you really think grubby played better than Stephano? I don't think so... everyone is acting as if grubby is playing perfectly with no flaws and there is nothing he can do about this imbalanced zerg race. It's rediculous.

So why play a style that won't work on a certain map?
