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. | ||

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. | ||

Compared to the TvT we just saw this was fucking terrible in terms of entertainment value. Even cheese games are generally more interesting, due to the intense micro going on. Oh well, too bad that Thorzain is out. just asking, what micro thorzain showed vs that colossus timing? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

His PvZ can be some of the most entertaining going around though! Anyone who thinks Squirtle is boring should watch the GSL finals. Most epic thing I ever watched in starcraft, ever. | ||
