I've found this to be a problem for a while, extremely difficult for the Protoss to deal with when done right.

To the people whining that MC didn't get collosus.... You cannot tech switch like that while the terran is pressuring like that. It's too big of an investment if you're constantly being pressuring. There are too many bronzies trying to tell pros how to play in this LR. :/

Like, terrible isn't even an understatement.

A match to note in the earlier seasons is San vs SC. That was when kheiarian amulet was still around for templars. They played epic 40 minutes non-stop action games in a BO5.

LOOOOL Artosis showing his rage-filled Starcraft 1 life hahahaha. "That wouldn't be fun at all."

At points Virus had too small an army and came close to losing, making too many workers almost gave the game back to MC, seems to me that Virus always had a bigger income than he could expend because of his 78 scvs and more importantly an army of the same size as MC's.If he hadn't done so much damage with that doom drop he would've most likely lost that game.

The thing with Khaydarin Amulet was that enable the Toss to trade gas for instant damage, which lead to gameplay where the Toss wanted to engage all the time instead of waiting for 200/200 => more intense games.

My ideal match ups today would be if MC < Virus, Nestea > Inca , Nestea > VIrus, MC > Virus. Perfect~
|
I have this terrible feeling that MC will lose Please win!

Virus lost a ton of mining time then.

MC had no obs to spot ghosts or if it kept getting picked off he really should have thrown down a couple cannons. Would have severely helped with defending his 4th as well. Two cannons down would mean Virus couldn't stim up and pick off templar as easily as well as holding ghosts at bay.
MC needed better storms when it counted most. I think also less HT's and a few more Zealot + Sentries. FF to keep the bio from retreating out of the storm then you don't need as many. Even when he was doing the perfect storm behind a storm so when they pull out of the first then run throught the 2nd... the Area of effect is still so small for both of them and stim makes them move so FA-RICKEN quickly they barely get put into the yellow for the cost of 2 storms, 300 gas.
Those last warp prism drops at the end were so incredibly perfect. If he had a few immortals and about 5 or 6 more zealots he would have held that. And a guardian shield or two on top of those zealots and you'd be surprised what a difference it makes against all that bio.
Virus showing some superbly sick impressive micro. As well as macro just as the mighty two headed prophet Tastosis prophesied. Also, how insanely adorable is Virus? Definitely one of the cutest terran. With that great play last game and now seeing how much cuteness is in his cute reserves he is quickly becoming a standout terran for me. Always been aware of him, but as Tastosis said at the start he's easy to be looked over especially in this group, now I have a much better impression of him tho.
MC, Nestea, Virus.....FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!
