There are still so many unexplored avenues in the late game of most matchups; whoever comes up with something fairly new holds a huge advantage just because reactions have not been defined or even thought out. There is so much gripe about late game balance, but honestly, we are so far away from being able to see the whole picture. We only get to see small glimpses of what will come; just as the way players played out late game in 2010 now seems ridiculous and plain wrong, it is hard to accept that we will not look back at the established truths of early 2012 and laugh in the future. (Of course, HotS might just invalidate this, but oh well). Wise words  | ||

It really does baffle me that Terran think they should be able to attack into bad positioning against a well positioned HT Colossi ball and come out ahead, talk about double standards, if a Protoss were to attack into a bunch of EMPS then without a doubt we will lose the battle to, PvT is finally at a point where Terran cant just press T and a move across the map and kill a Protoss. No. Just no. Your post makes no sense at all. You seem to be insinuating terran OP. Terrans cant just press T and a move. | ||

I like Parting's more, but Genius is effective. It would be nice if Alive could make a series of this. It would suck if his newly found confidence got destroyed by another 3-0. | ||

To be able to pull that win off after getting scouted is impossible barring perfect micro, and that's what Genius did. Guy is just clutch under pressure, hope he can bring home a loooong overdue Protoss championship. being scouted doesn't matter, all the P allins excluding colo are at the same timing. holding the low ground is not viable, and i'm surprised that this isn't something that top Ts demonstrate | ||

I had decided not to post, in order not to be the category 4 type of guy who whines about the whiners. But you delivered a wonderful post that complaines without bitching about it, so +1 from me. In this particular case, we all know that BW is superior and that micro in SC2 is nothing and elephants and flashes and all that stuff. But really how can you whine about it every single time?? I understand the first game 2 battles 2 drops and game over. I really understand that. And I find TvP unacceptably boring. But on the second game, there were 3 charged void rays for the whole duration of the fight, 2 of them <10 hp. While he did that his ground army was not left alone in the front and died to marines. While he did that he showed good decision making as to where to attack every time. He made alive concentrate most of his units on the high ground, showing NO INTENTION at all to go to the nat and then he switched in an instant. It was good micro overall. Go watch a game from Ace yesterday, showing what happens when you don't do it right. | ||

I think he means micro is an essential part of the Terran race. Less so for Protoss | ||

He was able to build a bunker *almost* in time, although it just delayed his death. bunker build time 40 seconds, void ray 60 seconds (Without chrono). His bunker was only about half way done when the void ray arrived. The bunker there is probably to prevent high ground warp in. | ||
