The logic is not strong with this one...6/10?


Absolutely everything suggests that it is if you doubt it at least give a reason or something, believing some random TL poster who has never tried it over common knowledge doesnt seem very logical.


Can't you see how clear it's that MMMGV is a bad late game composition? Everyone is just doing it because they are stupid. But worry not. A random Protoss poster in TL is saying something is out there for everyone to find. Yet he doesn't have a clue about what it is. Isn't that lovely? It's probably mass ravens with battlecruisers. That can't be bad.


Please dont modify what i said even though my post is on the same fuckin page. And Im just trying to respond to the FUCKLOAD of bitching TERRANS. If your ahppy with that composition, well then DONT COME AND FUCKING WHINE.


EDIT: yeah i probably shouldnt get all pissed off. Just dealing with condescending pricks always gets my spirits up Sorry for the foul language ^^

Was this guy ever not in Code S? I mean seriously... fuck MC (no offense ), Genius is pretty much the definition of most stable protoss player ever. And he has been beating top players for months now. More than once he has been MVPs ace player as far as I remember.

Well.. it seems to be loosing to end game toss composition... I ve said this in several threads now, It just feels like terran is sticking to MMMVG the same way Z sticked to raoch hydra corruptor infestor for quite some time... I dont have a solution though, im just trying to give an incentive to find otherwise of beating protoss than crashing into a 3-3 biokilling death ball

IMO the solution is to try and win the game at a different timing window... It's pretty much established that with the current late game plan, terran cannot defeat archon/chargelot, thus, terran's aim should be to disrupt the progression into this lategame by sniping tech and denying the 3rd, which are the two midgame pillars that late composition is supported by. I'd like to see terran try to stop protoss from reaching their ideal composition, getting to an extremely advantageous lategame situation in which 3-3 bio rapes a gateway heavy army

Not really, Genius has been in Code S longer than DRG.


Floating in Code S for awhile (while impressive) doesn't stand up to DRGs recent results, especially since Genius dropped down recently (in fact I believe last season, therefore looking weaker). I know Genius has been around for awhile, but he still came out of nowhere to get into this finals. No one predicted him getting this far, especially against the opponents he had to face, and with so much dominance. Absolutely incredible imo, making a great story for this GSL, especially with a rematch with his teammate.


Once again as you can see above, Genius was not doing anything impressive for a long time, and even dropped to Code A just this past season IIRC, and then suddenly got in the finals... that is "out of nowhere" for me since nearly no one predicted he would do even close to this well. It has nothing to do with being familiar with the player, even if he was relatively stable, floating in the bottom of Code S for a long time.

This finals cannot be predicted with any degree of sanity.

twenty twelve off to a great start. hellz yeah!

BTW, wasn't Genius a protoss hope early on last year?


I think it was actually longer than that. He won Blizzcon without getting hyped beforehand (from what I recall) and then when he came back to the GSL he only did decently for a little while. From what I recall, he did nothing but float in the bottom of Code S for most of 2011, and now beasted through so many strong players so easily this season to get to the finals.

I wouldn't say expected; he was code S caliber but there's plenty of code S players who aren't good enough to make it...prior to this GSL Genius had a reputation as a good player but not as a top-class one, which is why this is unexpected for many.

I'm happy that PvZ and TvZ are so balanced...
It's a pity PvT is broken, T too strong early, too hard lately.
Hope blizzard fix it and turns SC2 at the level of SC1

Yeah, i remember for a month or 2 the meta game of ZvP was " do not let toss get a third base whatever happens or you will loose". Looking back at Genius vs Alive game 3, the tank marine push & contain after 1 rax FE into a third seems interesting, but how to stop the bust out with colossi...


EDIT: totally off topic... im outta here!

Lol funny how you get so angry over the "fuckload" of bitching Terrans (by which you mean the 5 or so of us standing up for our race for once in a LR thread)!

There's no reason to be rude to people however - both ways.

I think it's fair to say that overall Terrans are not happy with their late game options, may or may not have tried other avenues enough (futile or otherwise) and are a bit sick of being put upon by the other races by the ways that we win.

If Blizzard wants Terrans to be a race of scv/rine all ins then so be it ;p.

Don't speak of that.

As far as I am concerned (and I am aware of BOTH previous PvZ finals), this is the first TRUE PvZ final.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)
