He should at least grab a second forge and start teching to collosus then.
he was on 2 forges after a while, and colossus switch started as his 4th was saturated and he pressured the T's third. a little late yeah but not too out of norm
Why make Colossus? Make the exciting units! Lots of zealots and templar!

He was maxed out you know.
He was at 1500 gas banked before his 3rd nexus finished, and never really got around to spending it. Would have loved to see robo and upgrades start kicking in, even if he didn't actually start producing colossus yet.
I'm just sayin - he looked good, but you can bet that the terran just didn't have as much stuff as he should have had, if he wasn't able to really pressure a guy who was floating 1500 gas.

Very well-played from him.
I presume KT will get him out in one of the matches were they are confident to win the BW section regardless of his loss so he can play SC2 for the important matches

Why would you ever get marauders against a mainly chargelot army?

Watch it again, that's all.
ah maybe I'll catch the four depot at once supply block on second viewing, good point.
Both the players played very well. However, this is a pretty good example of a Terran doing an insanely aggressive 2 base build and not working. The Protoss can A-move with Zealots and HT's once he's defended, which is not difficult with HT's (good defensive unit). TvP relies on the Toss making mistakes.
