Happy produced Vikings too soon and didn't have enough medivacs to support his Bio army. Genuis only pushed with 2 Colossus and had a large gateway army.
I rather say he didn't have enough vikings to take the colossi out quickly enough. Also, pull your workers faster.

?If he had continued to produce medivacs he would be so dead it wouldnt be funny, at least playing like this he was just zombie dead.

Is it possible to have a single PvT win without whining? I guess not.
It was more a whine about how Blizzard keep going on about "Terrans strong mid game". :/
Blizzard only said it once, its you guys that keep going on about it >_>
Most recent interviews at MLG it was mentioned again.. but okay, it wasn't a serious statement I was making anyway, hence the ":p".
@jono not sure if you are a troll or just a crier, do you usually watch tvp? if so you should shut up and think more :D
Please re-read what I posted. I was just jesting that Blizzard should stop talking about Terrans strong mid game, the mid game is pretty equal in my view.

And now you get reported by Tomatreides.
LOL, you really think I'm the only person who reports people in LR threads? You're too cute.
I don't know if you are the only one.. but I know about you.
Well, you could:
a) Abide by the rules and not balance whine in LR threads, thus making everyone's lives that little bit better b) Complain when you get reported
Actually, the warning got retracted by the admins because it was out of line. You just appear to have a thin skin and too much anger.
Blizzard says that it's OK for toss late game to be stronger because terran is stronger mid game. Now we have a game where both races go for a strong mid game. Both hit their tech/upgrades they go for. Terran knows what AoE the toss goes for and gets the counter. Terran even pulls workers to help. Still the protoss loses.
Seems like Blizzard's estimate for the midgame isn't too good, eh? That's what the post was about. He didn't write something like "OMG TOSS OP!!1!". He was mocking Blizzard.

Let's see:
ZvP: Zerg is almost impossible to beat late game, have to use a "gimmick" (archon toilet); 2 base immortal all in is too strong, etc. etc.; roach max is imba, blah blah blah
TvZ: Zerg is almost impossible to beat late game, mech sucks without perfect play, marine tank is too repetitive, blah blah blah
PvT: Protoss is impossible to beat late game, Terran needs to cheese or do a mid-game timing, blah blah blah
TvT: Sometimes too boring, who wants to watch a 1 hour matchup, mech sucks vs bio w/marauders blah blah blah
ZvZ: Oh units are too hard to see in low quality stream! Ling baneling wars are so stupid (yes I've heard this one), blah blah blah
PvP: Too coinflippy, if it gets past the early game the lategame is just colo vs colo war of worlds which is boring, blah blah blah

I dont know what you talking about thats one of the best ads i've seen

The Colossi dropped pretty quick, but the Gateway army towered over the Bio army. Like, it wasn't even close.

TvT, I guess ^^
People get pretty pissed off when MM charges into Siege lines and wins.
God, how can they? It's like the best feeling in the world xD. There were also pre-nerf BFH that caused some whine to bio players. But overall I think it's the match-up that generate the less whine/complaints, and by far.
