you beat these blink allins IMO by opening 1rax 1gas expand, the gas slows your CC slightly but gives you the option of getting fast siegetanks if you scout no nexus, and you get down your ramp with tanks instead of medivacs

EDIT: the power of the build isnt even the blink, its the forcefield stopping you from leaving your base when your army is big enough to kill the stalkers

I hope this means that Squirtle is starting anew with 2013 and will go back to dominating his foes.

I don't think there really is anything that Dream could do and he made the right move.

Any LR for the match? Was it just a blink all in, forcefield on ramp into hard contain to medivacs?
Or did Squirtle get fancy?

He had 2 observers, so he could see any medivac moving out. So he kept hard containing him after medivacs were out.

I love GSL. Holy crap. I love SPL too, but the production and the casters are just really good with GSL (Don't get me wrong, I love SNM and Whiplash but GOM casters are just too good).

But damn, I thought Wolf made a pun since I thought he was playing Happy
Squirtle is saying IM Happy

That's just blindly trying to stop 1 build out of many. Not exactly a solution

Yeah every non terran player is an abusive faggot. Terrans have NO right to complain about abuse. Or did u just play macro games on steppes of war and never build blue flame +10 hellions?

blink obs all in, but squirtle didnt overcommit like most protoss do, instead kept aware constantly of dream's positioning and used his mobility to destroy units bit by bit

Squirtle had one of the better executions of this build.

I know how to do a blink stalker all in because I love blink builds I just never thought to take it to the next step like that and deny someone from ever leaving there base like that.
