And solid protoss play by Stork, glad to see a few non-legendary Kespa players doing well.  YugiOh is the BONJWA of qualifiers. Guess the format really suits him. | ||

It's really not a bad unit comp if you engage right. Protoss also wait waaayyy longer these days to start colossus/HT tech as they favor getting out more immortals first, so hydras have a bigger window to be useful. | ||

Against Roach/Hydra/Corruptor, sentries are the key. If you remove the corruptors and replace with infestors, HT are the key. If you remove the hydras, colossi are the key. | ||

Very true, the current meta leans towards Protoss getting 5 or 6 immortals to counter the early roach pressure, they are not nearly as useful against hydras. | ||

Stork held the first 2 with good FFs but lost sentries. Once the FFs were gone, Ragnarok was able to trade well and had superior production. | ||

Thats the shift in metagame for you, roach hydra is slower timing than pure roach and less mobile but if you can strike efficiently it can end the game right there. | ||

Because Polt is a very special kind of beast, I've watched his stream a LOT, he almost NEVER loses after he gets to 3 bases, his positioning, engagements and overall decisions are just way better than almost everyone else, simply put he is too smart. | ||

Well you can scout before you make 6 immortals with an obs. If you see hydra early then you shouldn't lose if you engage in good positions. | ||
