No progamer is playing it correctly right now, they keep attacking into the protoss warp-in meatgrinder. To make it work you have to build planetary walls to gain time, as well as use nukes to harrass / drops where possible, and build 5-8 BCS at a time with the bankroll you accumulate. 2 BCS at a time...? Never going to work ever. Also, no turret ring or sensor towers...yeah... I guess that would require mass VRs to deal with? Plus an observer or 2 to deal with cloak? Too big a tech switch. Makes sense | ||

Protoss can warp in a bunch of zealots into main, and terran either has to decide between pulling whole army and risking getting counter attacked or splitting army and possibly being forced to engage in two places when he will have to kite chargelots in two places at the same time which not even pro korean terrans can do consistently. If protoss loses the zealots in the terran main he can instantly warp them to the front line, whereas the terran units in the main have to run back. Warp prisms are also insanely fast with upgrade and decent hp now so if they are microd correctly you can't really ever kill them unlike blink stalker vs medivac. I do think maybe having viking patrols to deny in late game will become more common but again, thats less vikings for collosus and warp prism are so fast they can probably avoid viking. Or they could you know.... make turrets. | ||

There is no way you can turtle and have so many bases for the resources required to do this... | ||

He's definitely a good player but his group is actually kinda difficult considering NaDa's TvT is very strong and TvP is a pretty tricky matchup. Everyone knew Puzzle was going to be a fierce contender but Parting showed some solid PvT also. Partin did not show solid PvT, Parting vs NaDa were all BO wins, pretty lame actually.... While Puzzle played extremely solid late game PvT on the other hand | ||

He had like 4000+/4000+ or something while keen was at around 500/500. | ||

What do you think Keen should have done better in order to not get mindgamed like that? An alone marine hidden near Puzzle's third or something? | ||

While Puzzle played extremely solid late game PvT on the other hand parting might have been ahead by builds and so in early games. but even knowing that he showed alot better play of protoss and understanding of the matchup imo a mixture of creator and parting would be the best pvt to me. most toss players seem too afraid to take risks vs terrans or lack of basic understanding of pvt to use their advantages | ||
