that sounds a hell of a lot better than what the finals are likely to be, lol Nestea, DRG, Baby, and + Show Spoiler +
Really?
Nice, wonder if Nestea upped his HotS game, he did terrible last time xD. Did manage to take out Flash in a showmatch though =o
either way sounds better than ZvP

Yes, Chinese website has news up already. Don't know why TL hasn't put it up yet.

Life 75% 2. Sniper 69.4% 3. DRG 67.6% 4. Leenock 66.7% 5. Hyun 64% Good players have good win ratio, crazy right?
The fuck... the point is that they're all zerg. Check your reading comprehension.

I'm thinking that you need a Soulstone to block this build. Put one on PartinG's head and BAM.

How is this all in working in HOTs beta btw?
|
Maybe Sniper should have used his Nydus build to hit Parting's main or natural AFTER Parting started to move out with his sentry/immortal all-in. He'd probably need at least two (probably more like 3 or 4) simultaneous Nydus' to ensure that at least one could get up and running, but could this work as a counter build?

I hope Bisu tries this immortal push. Except with 25 sentries and 3 immortals and no stalkers. No need for the new units when you have sentries right Bisu? :p

2 GSL's + 2 2nd places = StarTale year definitely

And don't act as if every protoss can do this, or else they would. Parting's execution of the build is unlike any other. Props to Parting, hoping for him to be the world champion! 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 And what's a consistent way to beat BL infestor reliably without having the Z screw up on engagement? don't engage~

Are you kidding? Parting just gonna Immortal/Sentry all-in him every game until victory. Like a boss. :D

Why play a style that only works 40% or 50% of the time when you can just turtle into mass infestor/hive and win 90% of the time even when your opponent knows what you're doing?
This. This so much. You're my hero for today.

Broodlord infestor is too strong as well. Glad you think so. Since we can see eye-to-eye on this we can also agree the matchup needs a huge makeover in order to make sure it isn't like PvT a few months back:
Terran allins, or Protoss completely owns him
versus
Protoss allins, or Zerg completely owns him
|
I'm not really supposed to say this as protoss but there's something quite good against immortals & forcefields. It's called baneling drops + zerglings.
Always wondered how come a build designed to crush roachling was so good at crushing roachling... Could it have been because it was designed to crush roachling?
You sound like the terrans who used to complain storm + colossus was too strong against bio... well duh, that's kind of the point.
