Terran has a huge timing window between 3rd nexus completing, getting up to 8 gates and then making an army. Hit in that timing Toss has nothing GG. | ||

Now, of course smart protoss might not fall for it. If the Protoss doesn't scout no-gas because you walled, then he can make a Zealot to run past the Bunker and see what's up. And also this build smashes any 1-1-1 that doesn't have Cloak, and is pretty much unscoutable as long as the Protoss is on top of you. Really, really, really hard to beat it. | ||

Or what exactly you think Jjakji should do. Yeah dude, let's balance whine and challenge LR readers to make a new strat to counteract a specific strat that was literally just debuted in the GSL. Two games versus an opponent who did almost exactly the same build (and almost always does the same thing) really shows imbalance. | ||

Thats right, 1 gate on 3 bases. So many builds could punish that. Parting's build worked so well because of the fact Jjakji cannot pressure at that time, and then he can just go crush him with his eco/production advantage. Pretty simple really, I'm surprised someone who understands the game on a 'deep' level like yourself can't see this. Considering your past as a Terran only player your comments are also incredibly ironic. | ||

Seems to me that this is a perfect counter to that greedy build, similar to how Nexus first can be punished hard. | ||

The window starts a fair while before then, when all of those things begin building. | ||

Now, of course smart protoss might not fall for it. It's incredibly easy to defend a 1-1-1 nowadays, especially on a big map like that. Terran will be behind usually after a 1-1-1, and even if they are on even grounds, guess what happens when it gets to late game? That's right, Protoss has a huge advantage again... | ||
