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.


And yet the build is like 3-12 in GSL or some shit like that lol

Still better than losing to BL/infestor.

I think it was not the best idea to do that push with those spawn positions, it is quite far to get to the third base of zerg so if you are delayed (losing probe/pylon) then your push won't be as effectively. Although this is all said in hindsight, maybe if Life delayed his unit production a bit, Parting would've been able to get to the Zerg's third.

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.

Build another robo?

i wonder if it's better to just make 2 warp prisms so you dont have to rely on hoping your pylon/probe is untouched

Maybe if you are just a regular master league player, but at this level you can't afford the time or resources. Parting's push to a large extent relies on a very thin timing which means that infestors are impossible or very hard to get out (you either need something like 5:30 lair or to sacrifice a base or a bunch of units). There is a reason that even other GSL code S protosses have a hard time replicating Parting's success.

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.


With that game done, I now agree with this. Those pickups were insane. He was microing his heart out. But, Life just played so well. Was on top of the ball throughout.

and the short period of time where broodlord infestor was beaten...?

Sorry I couldn't help myself. haha, I find the scene is fine but with the promise of HotS allowing other zerg compositions to get a chance, I am just waiting till then.

It is a longer period of time, I agree, but it's still relatively short (so far) - and the results overall aren't as one-sided as many of the viewers might imply.

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.


I don't think you understand how much micro and apm goes into these pushes, you don't have time to go back to your base, and you never have your camera leave the area where your units are once you start fighting unless you need to make pylons to un supply block yourself.

Well if Parting is gonna have so many Minerals banked up, might as well queue up another Warp Prism after the Observer then.
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
