I agree. However, I don't even think macro was that much of a problem, he just kept engaging too far away from reinforcements and didn't retreat when he had a much small army than the blink stalkers. You have to engage blink stalkers with far superior numbers otherwise you get diminishing returns.

oh man looks like a 5th win is on the cards... xD

Cool I like seeing stargate play in PvT.

Wow. How interesting of a micro battle. Wow...
What an interesting strategy.
How interesting of a match-up.
3 base vs 2 base with better econ, spines/hydras/lings/roaches but no... blink stalker ftw.
Edit: Sorry for the whine but... I can't stand this unit. Every other unit has a "counter" of sorts. Blink stalker's only counter is when blink is not yet upgraded.
Blink stalkers' only counter is anything but Hydras.

i agree with the later part of your post, the first part, i dont know. he did seem to play well but i think the macro was the issue, roaches and lings are really cheap, if he could have had 800-300 more units, that is sooo many, especially in such a close situation.

Oh for sure, I just think good engagements could have made up for the slip-ups in macro.

No clue how Seed lost this game. Full scouting info.... I think he expanded too late / didn't use sentries to hold ramps / waste time,

Clutch tank targetting on high templars winning that for Noblesse.
glad MVP one a game, would have been one of the most boring all kills ever if Seed cleaned up xD

Tanks ftw, Terran's should just make more tanks in general. If i was Terran I'd go pure Tank raven, regardless of matchup.
