Thorzain wouldn't have held that even with Stim. Squirtle kind of got a BO win. Thorzain build so many raxes that he delayed his gas and tech enough to make himself vulnerable to a Colossus timing.

I think Squirtle got into his head with those cheeses in the first 2 games then that wierd DT warp prism stuff on Wirlwind.

He did well though in the series with Gumiho, too bad he couldn't finish it off.
And on the plus side 4/4 Liquibets.


When you don't scout you get a lot of build order losses. Who would have thought it?


Even if he scouted it, it would have been really, really difficult to transition out of that 4 rax build, Artosis said so as well as part of his final words about the game.

Oh well, too bad that Thorzain is out.


Yeah thats why I personally hate Squirtle's playstyle. Its just so dull and boring to watch.


The DT drops in the first game were pretty sexy though. And he did a cool late blink stalker ramp FF play on Ohana against someone as well. It's not like he does 2-base colossi every game- just many games.

Nobody is bitching.


Were you here earlier? This thread was like 40 pages of Protoss bitching when Squirtle lost and Terrans bitching when Keen lost.


well nobody is bitching at the moment, so there's no need to get all worked up


I'm not worked up? I posted that as the game ended.


the tone of your sentence really implied so, "No Terran bitching, "mass reporting you all", those are phrases/sentences generally used in tense occasions.

There's no need for this, najreteip was only making a very accurate observation. Squirtle is a boring player, regardless of who he plays, but since he's also successful I don't think he'll worry too much about being boring.


Squirtle has more builds than almost any other Protoss and ironically the two base collosus all in he gets so much shit for is the build "fan favourite and totally non boring player" Naniwa won MLG Invitational and made the Providence finals doing in 80% of his games.

Squirtle has earned a bit of a reputation for his colossi timings in PvT I suppose which is why so many find his style boring. His PvZ can be some of the most entertaining going around though!

It's an opinion, so it can't be an "accurate" observation. He's done like 8 different builds over the finals and this first day of Code S. Not really sure how that can be boring.

Agreed incredibly boring, but it works for him so why not do it.


I don't see this at all I have to say. Squirtle has a huge variety of builds, but because he's known for a 2 base collosus timing that's all people see perhaps? DT drops, HT + Collosus play, 1 base busts, 2 base busts, long split map macro games, etc. Aside from missing carrier play (lol j/k) what does Squirtle do that's so boring?

Reminds me of when people said MC only does 2 base timings long after they became an uncommon thing in his play.


I don't find protoss that exciting at the best of times, and he does that build all the time, which is one of the most boring builds in the game. It's just my lowly opinion He obviously can do other stuff.

Then he's pretty dumb for doing it vs a guy who is known for two base Collosus all in's.

It's like not getting ghosts vs Parting, or doing a build which is weak to two base gateway all in's vs MC.

Hope HOTS will change this.


Timing is what make a RTS game.
You can't change that. Xx


I don't mind timings. Build order losses, eh not as much, though they're happening less and less. Still the sc2 community is too hung up on non-macro games being poor.

And from a balance design point, how would you negate such a timing? All races have timings. Negate the options of one timing, and open the door for the opposition to execute others.

Anyone who thinks Squirtle is boring should watch the GSL finals. Most epic thing I ever watched in starcraft, ever.
