I can see some tweaks to it, but that is amazing. Agree. Really looks like a build that would be able to beat Stephano's mass roach style as well. Tons of cannons, phoenix to snipe queens, and really adaptable and thus able to defend against mutas.
Mmm his build as he played it right there would get crushed by the mass roach style. In particular I was a bit concerned by the 9:30 third (but I guess it works on Metropolis). I'm interested to see what Hero would do if he scouts that Zerg is going for roach and not muta though.

As much as I love HerO, Curious went for some strange fail semi 3base pressure with a control group of hydras alone (600 gas) donated for nothing, doing a common muta tech switch. Even if HerO didn't scout it, he could metagame it. Single stargate range phoenix with collusi has a good timing against that build because you have money invested in worthless phoenix, late hive tech, and weaker ground too. When HerO went double stargate in GSTL, I actually wrote he might have been aiming for some timing like that, and I also wrote there that I think with range you should only get a single stargate. I'm not a savant or a starcraft god, it just made sense. I'd like to see it tested better against 1) a top zerg (since we consider HerO a top toss and no one considers Curious a top zerg) who b) rushes hive or commits to 3base ground attack to take down 3rd. Infestor-broodlord-corrupter-spine seems to be what most protoss are struggling with at the moment in top korean matches. I won't consider Stephano mass roach at 12 minutes because I haven't seen top GSL korean protoss losing to it, and that's what we're judging.

Hero was doing really good with those stalkers, but I think losing them evened it up.

yah bro, hero made T3 units to tank shitty corruptors and protect his phoenixes that do crap DPS against them
carriers have awesome DPS for their supply cost, Zerg's anti-air is complete crap and doesn't get better with tech
That kind of wrong. Each interceptor fires 2 shots that do 5 damage each. Normally that is 80 damage in total from interceptors. Corrupters however have 2 armor, so each interceptor shot does only 3 damage which in total adds up to only 48 damage. Phoenixes are in the same boat, they do 5 damage to regular units, 10 to light, but only do 3 damage vs corrupters. Lets not even talk about the slow attack rate of interceptors
Then Corrupters have Corruption 20% more damage on top of their already huge 20 damage to massive.
Curious's problem wasn't the Protoss air, it was the protoss ground force, zealots, sentries, stalkers and colossus.
