That said, disappointing matches all round, but good to see Hero do well. Nice to see his obvious latent skill bringing home some results. I'm worried for him against Squirtle though, his good mechanics and multitasking aren't really going to give him much of an advantage in that matchup vs Squirtle's undeniable solid PvP | ||

Doesn't matter that Protoss win 100% late game if only 10% of the game gets to that point. With the map changes (longer maps, smaller ramps), Protoss can defend much better early game so we are beginning to see the late game much more. I would like to see a less dependency on force fields which means a slightly stronger gateway army and thus a slight nerd to Protoss AoE. But again, it is tough to balance because just a slight change can have big ramifications. The issue with buffing gateway units is warpgates; if you buff them, it'll make gateway rushes so stupidly OP due to the loss of defender's advantage in XvP since units can warp in across the map.  I agree with your core point though. I think the maps have a huge effect on the race composition of the GSL finals this time around, and I think that the Terrans really dropped the ball by falling out earlier stages (esp. MKP, who could've rocked this season if he'd gotten out of his group). Basically, if you pit up MKP/Polt/Jjakji/TheStC (just throwing out some names) against Parting/Squirtle/MC/Oz, I don't think I'd be able to call an outcome. I think Squirtle looks like the scariest Protoss of this season overall, even though I like Parting's and HerO's styles better. Parting is amazing at PvT and has shown some great PvP this season, and I won't call Parting vs. Squirtle that easily since teamkills tend to be weird, and Squirtle's PvZ >>> Parting's imo. I'm not sure what to think of HerO; sometimes he looks amazing, other times he looks like a scrub. Oz is interesting but seems to me to rely too much on quirky builds (not to be confused with gimmicky, just ... round-about). | ||

Hero's fundamentals are way better, as long as he doesn't get mindfucked by builds it won't even be close. Squirtle can't even land a freaking forcefield. -_- I disagree. Squirtle has always looked stronger to me than Hero does. | ||

They're both good at what they do, Hero reminds me of Oz in the way he plays, with a lot of gateway pressure and whatnot which, if it fails can make you look like an idiot. Squirtle from what I've seen hits really solid timings but spreads his stuff out a bit less. | ||
