I think Stephano beating MC made people believe that Ret actually had a chance in this BO7, while the truth is that he didn't.
Stephano himself didn't expect to beat MC, that's how good MC is. And that's how good Stephano is. And that's how far away Ret is.

I feel like the solution to that situation is the nydus wurm. There's basically nothing a protoss can do in that situation vs a nydus in the main when they have to keep their entire stalker/archon/colossus/mothership army in the middle of the map to hold off the broods.

I wish the nydus got more popular
SOOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOoo Many BANELINGS!!

Seriously, some of you guys will complain about anything.

I kinda liked the game, but this is not how a long macro game is played, or at least not what I'm thinking when the term "long macro game" comes to my head. Turtling for >30 minutes and ending the game in a single battle isn't the idea.

Long macro games are those which reach that stage after tons of skirmishes and battles throughout the early and mid game, with engagements all over the map, harass maneuvers and strategic moves going on all the time, to finally end after a long fought engagement in the end.

Watch Bisu vs Last for very recent reference. If you want to watch true epicness, watch Jaedong vs Flash from a few years back on WCG, the very definition of a "long macro game"


There are a couple of SC2 games that are decent, too. SC vs Nestea from GSL May semis comes to mind, I can't think of any others right now, but you can check the vod threads, etc. Actually, a lot of games on Crossfire are really awesome- Reminds me of Peaks of Baekdu from BW, which was such an awesome map

why didnt ret just wait??? such a bad way to go out. how hard is it spread your army?? vortex is so obvious.....

You can't just let the protoss get to his archon/carrier/collosi death ball, gotta push out at some point.


plus, the protoss will always be more cost efficient than the zerg. so if you let him mine out his half of the map and you do yours, you're in quite some trouble.


The Broodlord/Infestor ball is way more cost-efficient than anything Protoss can put out.

except that four archons+a vortex can kill infinite supply of zerg units.

seriously, i'm terran and i'm not balance whining, just from an entertainment stand point pvz is probably the worst matchup in the game... zvz is pretty bad too


No, the worst by FAR is PvP, I don't care what anyone says.

Problem with Protoss is that it's units are so expensive and strong that every PvX matchup ends in one engagement most of the time.


PvP is a lot better, since it usually ends early and has constant aggression.

PvZ might as well be played on Novice maps.


PvP and PvZ are pretty similar, pretty good in the early, mid game (although i prefer PvP) and completely shitty in the late game with a heavy tendency to just be determined by one wrong move.

This is the difference between Ret and Stephano.
Ret should really have practiced more if he actually wanted to win NASL or beat MC and the others.

Design fail. Blizzard ought to remove the mothership from the game and then give Protoss whatever tools they need to fight brood lord/infestor in a straight-up fight.


I love current PvZ. I don't play anything like the standard and zergs don't know wtf to do. It's players fault, not the matchup.


Sadly, most of us don't care how "you" play. We care how pros play.

and this is what happens when there are no terrans in the semis / finals ... even if you hate terran, no one can deny that any MU with terran is so much more exciting than these shitty dull boring pvp's zvz's and the worst of all pvz .... oh well catching up on the week games <3 byul vs nestea yay me!

Actually, I think it's more like if the zerg doesn't split, then he wins, if he splits, he loses. Rather than being in the hands of the protoss, it's in the hands of the zerg. Imagine if Ret had played that better, he would've completely demolished MC. He just overextended


It's not just about splitting. The first one to make a slight mistake gets obliterated.

More like the protoss is getting slowly obliterated while praying for the zerg to make a slight mistake and then capitalize on it.


Yupp, Protoss should not be able to get a vortex off if zerg can fungal well.

Wait, is that for the series or just game 4? Because if it's for the series I'll take the million dollars.

also ret should have upgraded ventral sacks while banking 1k/1k going hive.

ferrying units into the main base is always a better way to free up supply than walking roaches into his army.

And then in late game he would have the option of targeting the main while holding his 6th base, instead of pushing forward into the mothership.
