I'm more disppointed by the fact you haven't forced bling to wear a top hat as part of his sponsorship.

Can we not turn even this LR thread into a TvP whine thread? I'd rather enjoy games and read people's comments on game play than about balance... take it to the "where did all the terrans go? thread... that place is out of hand
I agree. The thread was going so smooth.

Yes it doable, but how often do you get to that point ? Most of the time, a good protoss will see you sacking SCV or doing sacrificial drops, and kill you with his 200/200 deathball with 40 gateways resupply. It only works versus quite stupid Protosses or against people who are not familiar with this style. Its just like mass Thors was before nerf. EmpireHappy.. used it vs MaNa, Socke, HasuObs and tons of other very good Protoss players. even vs creator prime and it worked. its true... but i still think the opponents he faced didnt adjust well enough, you have to stop building any templar/archon and just build huge gateway armys with many observers and 3-4 colossus imo vs that style Gotta love the theorycrafters @ TL. 
well, what else do you suggest vs 30 ghosts? you have to theorycraft vs it since no1 else plays that lategame like he does?

Before ghost nerf that game was played -_-, im pretty sure I know what both Kas and Happy think about TvP since im in team with them.

Can anyone explain what happened? it was a weird post match interview where they put the replay on the main screen and told destiny what he could have done better pretty much. not sure if he's serious but that's what happened I don't think he was trolling. That was some pretty fucked up shit and his right to be mad (which I think he actually is?).
Dunno, he seemed to take it so well, that I kind of feel he has to be kidding. Still it was totally unnecessary and classless. Hope atleast he isn't quitting due to it.

Hmm a bit less downtime would be good
Might cut down the balance whining also^^

why don't you quit beating around the bush and just say it. You think protoss is overpowered. That's ok, and it's something to discuss, but quit with all these subtle implications, just come out and say it.

I never said that's why he lost. He got outplayed which is why he lost.

You need to be banned from ever posting on TL again. Quit stating your opinions as fact. There are a number of terran who are very good at the matchup.

Ghost deal enourmous amounts of damage to light units (zealot) which is what Protoss does remax with usually. They can nullify shields of all units and with the count you got, you can make colossi shields, archon shields all evaporate in a second. Please Beastyqt, you are good enough to know that I'm not just calling bullshit here.
Its viable even if its hard to get there. Happy snipes left over zealots, but usually didn't snipe while fighting the main engagement. He still uses that style as well... so-_-

When the first thing DeMusliM does is tweet "protoss is actually pretty bullshit" from inside his booth immediately following the game then I think some balance discussion is inevitable

Damn! Bling has to play 2 in a row, wtf?

Balance whine overwhelming. Bring the ban hammer!
