That was stupid -___-.

Day9 said that for 3 minutes in the game the Protoss would be pressured.

But I mean, if you think about it further, he just said that Protoss just had to defend against drops for 3 minutes and then they win.

And those drops did so much damage too... Creator with his large bank doesn't have to worry though, because of AoE. Oh you killed 3 Colossi? Too bad, here's some Zealots to kill you.

How the hell was Select supposed to stop that... I'm pretty sure Creator just chrono'd his probes and that was it until he had like 70 probes and then got chargelots.

I hope Select just rushes Creator next game, ridiculous Protoss power in macro games.


Did you watch Taeja vs MC?

btw, Creator can't lose from here.

Yeah, the "skill cap" (allthough it's not exactly a cap, you can allways become better) is just insane with terrans when you compare it to the other two. Then again when you start counting clear mistakes made by the terran player, not necessarily even micro mistakes but macro, and you'll be hard pressed to find any in Taeja's play unlike Select's.

This. I'm willing to gambit Select could look like TaeJa if his macro and decision was up to snuff.


there is still unit control to hard, and it's clearly the hardest in lategame TvP

Selects control in 200/200 battles usually is S class.

what?

Probes failed, but the Zealot got too many unnecessary kills.

Probes are there to delay the CC and force SCV pull. Terran's econ gets super far behind even though they went CC first because of the lost mining time, where Toss can continue to Chrono Probes and expo because the Terran will have 1 Marine.

That went exactly as Creator needed it to.

The probes forced a lot of SCVs off mining before the zealot arrived. Lost a ton of mining time because of it.

lol, the Taeja hype has blinded you, Taeja is fucking AMAZING, but he still makes lots of clear macro mistakes, arguably the most mistakes of any of the top Terrans that are close to his skill.


his builds choice are sometimes pretty stupide too. A tad too greedy from time to time.

The Probes didn't do their worth in damage assuming it was only to slow the CC and prevent mining time. But they keep the T occupied until the Zealot comes. I think you're just arguing semantics w/ The Dwf.

Not really, once the CC is finished the Terran can retreat to his main behind his wall. SeleCT lost 5 SCVs because he wanted to bunker on lowground, he could have kept all of them safely at main while waiting enough Marines to go down.

Stupid is the wrong word imo, though he certainly doesn't compare to the genius and just general build order smartness of MVP when MVP crushing. He makes up for it with just disgusting control, multitasking, and ability to safely pressure without being punished.

...And he would have had no CC, because the Probes are there to deny the building SCV. Unless you pull SCVs, you can't actually finish the CC. If you bunker on the highground, the Protoss laughs at you and just gets an even earlier expand.
