That wasn't the problem here, he got outplayed

Come on, he got outplayed hard losing his phoenix even with 3 range advantage, AND he used only 1 control key to fight mutas.

That really didn't look like Hero, chasing after mutas with zealots and colossus. It was strange...and unfortunate as well that he went for colossus instead of his usual awesome templar play.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

No, the problem is, every game i have ever seen anyone get the upgrade, they lose to the same thing. Infestor tech switch. He did get out played, but that doesn't solve the problem or answer the question.

The problem was never a problem, protoss didn't need the phoenix upgrade to fight mutas, they were comfortable using blink stalkers and storm to kill mutas. Hero was VERY good when he used that style (watched his games), I have no idea why he switched to phoenix.

the ugprade does what its supposed to do, allow Protoss to kill huge numbers of mutas.

What? You want a single unit that kills everything Zerg can throw at you? Sorry, this game doesn't work that way.


When did he say anything like that? He said the Phoenix upgrade is crap, and in the current metagame, so far it has been.

I feel like that game was so un-HerO-esque... I feel like beyond the 2 VR he played super passive, which is unlike him. I guess Leenock's aggression was too much.

I didn't say anything like that. Having to get a Fleet Beacon and the upgrade just to deal with Mutas is not optimal, the upgrade makes no sense. The old route of blink stalker/high templar is almost always a better option.

HerO was in those TvP situations make too much vikings to kill the colos but die to the ground army but in PvZ make too much phoenix to kill the mutas but die to the ground army.

HerO is not going to be getting any good results for a while. There's no way he's not depressed right now.

Not really; he didn't even micro his phoenix well enough to utilise the upgrade. Also it was designed to help against zerg who mass mass mass mutas. Against players who make just a dozen or so then switch out of it you obviously want a much more measured response.


How can anyone predict how many mutas a zerg make? It's really easy to go from pressing M to pressing R, I'm really sad hero lost he looks devastated.

So true, if he played his usual storms he will have no problem. Its so weird why he went phoenixes. Horrible.

I think the upgrade is not made to counter the usual muta style but the muta style where you do a billion spinecrawler and go up to 60-70 mutas and abuse the fact that there are space where you can't be reached by sth else than air units

Pretty sure P should just 2 base all in every game, it's the only way to beat Z...

No, Hero went Stargate and didn't do enough with it. Stargate openings are all doomed the same way unless there is a major revolution in using them. I think there is a certain french protoss which is on to something in this area though. Nevertheless, PvZ will look lopsided like that when the Zerg isn't sufficiently halted or the Protoss doesn't expand aggressively.

Errr, how would his micro of phenoix changed anything? You're making it sound like having 3-4 extra phoenix there would of done anything against hydra/roaches

Well sure, he would have lost. My point was that 1) he didn't even use the upgrade to its true potential and 2) the upgrade was not appropriate here since Leenock was not massing mutas. You tried to address my first point whilst ignoring my second but didn't really address either.
