Will ST Legend be the observer for IPL4? Or only for the GSTL finals?

At least a few IPL games, they said.

That's great to hear. In my opinion, a skilled observer can almost be as important as a caster.

I'm getting more and more convinced that Terrans need to incorporate BFH lategame against Protoss... upgraded chargelots are close to imbalanced in this matchup.
The problem with hellions are you won't normally have upgrades for them. Also units are supposed to be cost efficient with an upgrade advantage.

Zealots are a problem but hellions are not the answer. At all. 2 supply, hundreds of gas in upgrades, and they don't sync with the rest of terran's late game army. Marines are more effective for their cost and supply. Trust me, there's a reason NO PRO EVER USES HELLIONS LATE GAME TVP, people need to stop suggesting this.

Yes as someone else has just said he will be observing atleast some of the games at IPL4.
I think every tournament should fly him out and pay him millions to observe, I love that guy.

ezpz.
Get out, void ray all-in.

=(
There was no reason to cheese Squirtle... even though this map can be silly.
Still though usually Squirtle controls 100x better. >_<

Very poor micro by Squirtle.

Poor squirtle, that miscontrol instantly ended the game lol, shame for him to allin in that set, iirc he's pretty strong on Antiga PvT

No pro ever using something isn't an argument for anything really... ghosts for lategame TvZ was discovered by mvp midway last year. Mothership to counter zerg lategame deathball was discovered after the fungal buff... to stop innovating is admitting defeat.

Polt is to strong for squirtle.

The real argument is that if you want to use hellions late game you have to upgrade them as well as your bio. Maybe not easy.

But it's so fucking inefficient to buy 3/3 for vehicle armor and they don't even get healed, I'm all for innovating but people need to be realistic instead of suggesting hellions vs protoss in 50% of the plethora of tvp threads in the strat forum. It doesn't work and it never will work without a buff from blizz or the proposed hellion transformation in HotS.
