TheBest defeated TaeJa 3-0 in a weekly just a few weeks ago. (Or was it against Gumiho?)
Yeah that's why I mentioned spectator perceptions. TheBest is a lot better than people think.

Robo is never useless, but that game was an eye opener. 1 Gate FE is supposedly safe vs everything if microed well, but San went 2 gate Robo FE and still died (Granted, I don't thin he microed his best either).

TheBest is one of those players who's unfortunate perception means some people will never be convinced that they're actually good now. Like me with REVIVAAAAAAAALLLLLLL (I care little for how good he is now I will defend to the very end even as he wins the GSL that he's a terrible player).

The best thing to do against this is to go 3-gate without robo but that's death against all other gas builds.
Even with a Robo you can hold the Nexus by only chrono-ing out gateway units.
I don't know, I do the non all in variant with a naked factory, and I expand behind it, and 8 marines, 3 hellions and 1 medivacs are already stronger than most of what Protoss can field at that time bar one base builds, and I kill quite often the natural with it, or at least probes, because you always have the option of dropping. With this delayed factory so that you can support right away the reactor, it seems even stronger. The Protoss player has to have a very good stalker control I guess.

I hope blizzard doesn't figure the metagame for us again like they always do.

That's kinda weird. I dislike MKP and thought he was bad but he improved a lot and has become really good, still not a fan of him but I would feel stupid if he won a gsl or something and I would try to defend that he was bad xd.

No, I have freaking trauma from watching revival play to my dying breath I will say that he sucks.
As exciting as streaks and all-kills can be, I would certainly enjoy a proper Proleague format in SC2. The game's already volatile enough and the all-kill format is worse at showing a team's depth, imho. (Even if the player picking makes for an interesting additional layer.)

Perhaps it is ProLeague that should have adapted the All Kill format Oo

1-gate FE into 3-Gate Robo and after scouting it all chrono-boost on Gateways can still hold it. San didn't really do what he needed to do against TheBests build.
Also you need to use Stalkers to kite the Marines (they don't take that much damage from Hellions) and get some kills before he engages you at your natural.
