So far Protoss has not lost any game, right? And Terrans haven't won any, right? Kespa SC2 players are a bit weak though, a lot of weird stuff happening in these games, feels like Open Season 1 but they copy better builds. The interesting thing is a year ago I would have thought Protosses would have the hardest time transitioning

Serious question : Is it possible for Zerg to win against that type of composition ?
Looks impossible to win to me if you let the Protoss get to that stage.

I am sure this is how they play for real at this moment. It looks goofy for us because it's so old and underused now. I don't know some of these seem current. I figure most of the strats will be on par with whats current since ladder is the big practice. However no clue where skytoss came from.

Liked the neat stuff he did. Seemed pretty clean and clever never overextending and utilizing all the abilities in the protoss arsenal.
Hope this stuff keeps on occurring. BW pro level always had a bit more craziness to it than sc2, since people prepared so much for specific matches. More weird builds!

Just the business aspect of it. Seems like Kespa is taking a huge risk. Wouldn't it be smarter to bring the GSL players and get high level games to bring over the audience? The BW guys would catch up faster too.
KESPA has starpower and brand name though. Look at how the stream crashed because Flash was playing

Is there any chance we'll see Jangbi playing next match?

Screw Diablo 3 tomorrow. I'm going to practice some Carrier builds for PvZ xD

You know its bad because he doesnt get killed while he is making carriers Carriers aren't good when you get a lot of them. They're countered very nicely (per supply) by corruptors, infestors, queens. Spores also help a lot, spread creep and move them with your army. I have seen BiGs doing it against HasuUbs. HasuObs sometimes also goes carriers, but only in the lategame.
A couple GSLs back MC cost himself the Ro8 by going fast 3 base big air (instead of say fast 3 base 10 gate push) and lost the game because he made tons of stuff.

For the people who are wondering, the dps of that air army comes from the voids, not the carriers. The carriers are there mostly as meatshields and to snipe infestors. Feedbacks are key though, although I believe roro managed to neural a templar and feedback the mothership(correct me if I'm wrong).

because people want to watch BW?
and also because while not very good skill wise, these games are undeniably quite entertaining

Man, that was some really good play. I really liked the way guardian shield was used constantly to aid the air force vs hydras and corruptors. Moving back your mothership in anticipation of the zerg counter-attack was a nice touch too. Great game, perhaps there is hope for SC2 after all.

I don't think there's anything you can do. You cant engage headon because every single unit comp gets evaporated and you cant counterattack because the mothership is in position to cloak the cannons and you cant have detection present because it will get roflstomped in seconds anyway. It's basically checkmate haha

GSL = Terran is the better race
its fun seeing the proleague have their own strategies, like a completely different metagame lolololol m17's game is like wtflol
Because, just like in ladder, in bronze protoss owns and in GM terran demolishes :D.
