WHY WHY WHY do zergs not counterattack attack immortal/sentry? You just cannot engage it with a ground army, ever.

Look at how good Sniper played there... he massed a ton of units, got a great surround, made Parting waste time, baited out forcefields, did everything almost flawlessly... and he still gets absolutely destroyed.

3 base zerg simply cannot hold that push unless the defense is 100% perfect, and a mistake by protoss is almost required as well.

But if Sniper just sends all those roaches and lings on offense... what can Parting do? It's a base trade scenario, and zerg has more bases, more workers, and more opportunity to evacuate workers. Counterattack is the best (and only) move there. I really wish more zergs would do it.

parting sets up 2 pylons at his main ramp when he does this build. if a zerg counter attacks he just brings his probes from the nat to the main and walls off, and warps in a few sentries.

A few sentries won't hold off a counter for long, and if Sniper gets burrow and burrow movement (planning ahead for the need to counter) then those won't even be a problem.

I'm not saying a counter would be autowin against Parting... but it seems a far better option than what all these zergs have been doing instead.

Because the protoss just kills your third and natural, comes back to clean up before you kill his buildings, and returns for your main. I have not seen a base trade work in this situation.


I don't even go home. Sentry warp in at home should do it.

Well Wolf plays Protoss and Khaldor is a StarTale and Parting fan so it's to be expected. I like it though, you can tell their excitement is really genuine when they cast and Parting is pulling off amazing wins like yesterday.

Uh, what the fuck? Sick forcefields are badass as fuck to watch, PartinG's perfect execution is entertaining as hell. Forcefields are much more difficult to use properly than fungals, there is no comparison. If you're incapable of appreciating this, you're probably not going to enjoy PartinG's games, go do something else instead of bringing down the vibe for the rest of us who are.


Good job refuting my opinion with your opinion. I will definitely go do something else now.

exactly. Every protoss that gets counterattacked except Genius just warps in sentries at the main ramp and walls it off with pylons and cannons and just kills the zerg

it's the last protoss , khaldor and parting are pretty good friends I believe so it's quite obvious he roots for him, which is fine as casters can have favorite players.


Khaldor also plays zerg himself so the mere notion that he is biased towards a different race is pretty hilarious. Khaldor knows and likes Parting so he'll be a bit biased for him, nothing wrong with that.


OK, then forget about the race, he's too biased towards parting. Yesterday's too much already, today continues.

Everyone is actually a Parting fan whether they admit it or not. You have to be a fan of someone that is this cool, this godlike, this invincible.

nothing zerg can do vs this. literally.


This is an All-in build, if you don't scout it out in time, you're gonna have an extremely tough time holding it. All-ins are not meant to be easily countered with macro builds.

He did scout it ahead of time. Way ahead.


nah it could also be the robo expand since he did not see any gates made

Parting is the Excellence of Execution.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

The full wall slows them down enough that the superior building-killing of the immortals and stalkers catch up. Plus, at least 50% of that army was from warpins. If those are at home behind the wall, you could bash your head in for an hour and get nowhere.
A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head.
