So he isn't allowed to voice his opinion when it's in a completely respectful manner?

Nah, apparently I'm supposed to root against the race I play and the players that I support.

Only if you root for a Zerg ;;

Turns out you just need to stall and force forcefields


Stalling an all-in helps you beat it?

who would have thought

Parting lost his one forward pylon probe. If he comes around another side with that probe, or even keeps it with his army, his push wouldn't have been delayed for so long.

This time it took close to no time at all, and the match seems really close to me. It's, in fact, pretty damn good to watch.

Stephano's 35 game ZvP winning streak ended to Titan doing this build on Antiga back in February. Immortal Sentry has been around all year, and zergs have been complaining about it all year. It only got really bad when Protosses started saying fuck PvZ and only Immortal Sentry All-inning.

In other news, when the entire time you're doing an allin you have 1100-2000 minerals you're doing something wrong. Good micro, but his macro was lacking in that game.


you can't warp in and micro the immortals

I don't know, make 10 gateways instead of 8 then, so when you do use warpins you can spend more of your money?


it is all about the timing; 10 gates would throw the timing off and wouldn't be as potent, you can only support 8 gates off of two bases.

the point is as soon as he lost his forward pylon, he needed to realise he wouldn't be able to warp in as much, so each warp in needed to be bigger, so he should have made ~2 more gates


It's so risky to go back to your base and build 2 more gates, even with the APM of a pro gamer. you look away for two seconds, miss FF's and you lose.

Then learn to put down gates faster (like Parting would need more than 1sec). Learn to watch minimap. Learn to react. Learn to recognize when you are in minimal danger. This is supposed to be the highest level of play surely we can expect Parting to be able to build 2 gates just like we expect zerg's in zvz to inject and tech during ling-baneling wars.

No, only if you root for whatever race happens to be the strongest at the moment, as deemed by TL posters.

Lots of the community is new to the StarCraft scene, even 2010'ers. They have no faith!

PartinG's Immortal/Sentry all in is sick to watch. Force Fields aside, the Immortal pickup/drop micro is reminiscent of Reaver/Shuttle micro in Brood War.

A large part of the balance/freshness in RTS game is an ever changing map pool. How long have tournaments used the same core of maps for their map pool?

Personally, I'd like to see more maps like Whirlwind.

Props to tournament organizers who like KeSPA who like to keep the game fresh and balanced.

25 second pylon build time
+ probe moving from his 2nd to place it

that's enough time to have another wave of roaches out

probably because in BW the tournaments and games have been so far apart, while in SC2, an average week probably as as many games as a BW season lol


This is a great point. Because of so many SC2 tourneys, I find myself missing a lot of them, even some of my favorite ones.

Why has no one tried two warp prisms with the push?


The original reason was it slowed things down. The fastest version requires you to rally the first WP already.

The slower ones seem to prioritize the observer for creep-cleaning and burrow shenanigans.

Basically, robo time bottleneck.
