I love how shameless Parting is with his sentry immortal push. God I was cracking up the entire time.

He's the only player who manages to consistently do it with success, and is by far and beyond the best player in the business when it comes to that push

...so why wouldn't he use it? :D

I think Sniper made a mistake in not using spines, because they are not affected by FF. That is the only method I have seen against good immortal pushes

it might be broken but partings execution is near flawless.

I'm starting to think you can't use conventional Roach tech to beat a "perfectly" executed Immortal sentry all-in.

You absolutely cannot. Sniper was 99.9% perfect in game 3, killed several pylons, got a huge surround... and got completely crushed, it wasn't even close.

But what are the unconvential options? Nydus was a good idea from Sniper, but Parting knows that's one of the only things that beats him, so he always checks for it. Mutas aren't an option... I don't think hydras will get it done when chopped up by forcefields either.

IMO it has to be a basetrade. Counterattack with burrow roaches, or with drops (not sure if you can get drops and a large army in time though).

But when the best zerg players in the world are getting stomped like this, and it's considered a fluke when someone actually holds it... clearly trying to hold the attack is a bad idea. Better counter-allins need to be found, because standard play is not working whatsoever.


But exactly what corners is Parting cutting in the early game, if any? Would it be better for zerg to just to some kind of roach pressure, baneling bust, to make sure the game gets thrown of its normal path and timing making the game more about improvising and thinking on your feet.

It's so stupid for starcraft 2 to have an allin that strong. It's just bad for the game.

Why do an allin that works 40% or 50% of the time if you can do one that works 90% of the time even when it gets scouted.


I agree, but to be honest it's the only thing that keeps the match up kinda even, this all in is way too strong, but Zerg Late game is also too strong for protoss to deal with it.

Problem? Would you want to try playing as protoss and going up against the variety of bullshit a zerg can throw at you, including of course infestor-broodlord?

Regarding Infestor-broodlord: It's so stupid for starcraft 2 to have a lategame build that strong. It's just bad for the game. As zerg there used to be actual exciting games to watch, but this build is so strong we very rarely ever see any other builds from zerg. Why do a build that works 40% or 50% of the time if you can do one that works 90% of the time even if the protoss does everything in his ability to stop it?

You need to anticipate it. Stay on 2 gas I think, so only 54 drones, make lots of speedlings and some roaches, hit as he moves out with a good surround.
Bad build versus a quick third base. That's a big issue with it, you get a coinflip.

You cannot surround with forcefields...

He has 8 sentries and 3 immortals, you have like 40 speedlings and some roaches...
I'm posting on twoplustwo because I have always been amazed at the level of talent that populates this site --- it's almost unparalleled on the Internet.

You never mentioned Infestor tech, which is a better option than hoping your opponent doesn't have 2 sentries at home, lol.

I'd like to see someone try it. It's tough to get infestors out that early, you won't have many of them, and the rest of your ground forces will all be lings. It's a potential option worth trying more, though. This roach/ling stuff is a dead end.

So the build is broken and Protoss should be nerfed just because one player does everything perfectly and has godly micro.

nobody denies that :D

i hope he wins too

but everyone probably realizes at this point that build relies completely on forcefield mechanics and no matter how good a zerg you are your not gonna be the one controlling who wins the game. i cant name a single thing some of these zergs do wrong when they lose to partings immortal sentry allin :DD while vs other tosses those zergs like sniper takes a shit on immortal sentry allin


they play very greedy by skimpy out on high level tech that could help out and instead rely on low tech units which have proven time and time again to fail vs this push

ah
the reason these korean zergs stop at 3 queens 4 gas 57 drones is because if they make anything more than that toss just attacks quicker instead of sitting outside you until he gets 20 sentries ^^
it looks kind of silly to not see infestor by 13min mark since it obviously crushes this but keep in mind if zerg tries to get this tech out parting is gonna smell it and kill you before that

I don't think we can conclude that with this series, though. I would like to point out that a LOT of other Protosses try the immortal sentry all-in, too, and they don't get as much success with it as Parting. Parting is, statistically at least, an anomaly.

In the next patch, Blizzard will be considering how to nerf sentrys.
