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 | ||

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. | ||

As protoss there used to be a lot of allins, but this one is so strong we very rarely ever see any other allin builds now from protoss. 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. | ||

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. 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? | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||
