But let's not get carried away here, Protoss has a 60% win rate in TvP in Korea (january), so if people really think there is some sort of serious imbalance in the matchup, like some appearently do, they should really re-consider who suffers from that imbalance. Again I'm not saying there is imbalance, I don't think so, but to simply ignore all statistics and instead point at one game that was lost by a protoss is ridiculous. When you look at the games, it's not even about statistics. It's about who made the good decisions/the bad moves. | ||

I hope it doesnt mean he's thinking of retiring, always thought he was a skilled player. He said in his Code A Qualifier interview that if he didn't qualify for this season he was thinking of retiring, whale asd and sirius also just retired. | ||

Cool forcefield/immortal shenanigans, but Tear really needed to get more colosai or storm to hold that inevitable scv pull he knew so well was coming. If he had gotten more Colossi that would've been over a lot sooner. Archons were a really good choice in that situation. | ||

Right, so protoss players are just better than terrans? I'm sorry but I don't buy that for one second, if you are going to claim that there is imbalance in the matchup and statistics strongly disagree with your claim you cannot just go ahead and say "but I think protoss players are just better" that's an absolutely baseless assertion. | ||

Keep in mind too, that mules are to counteract the ability to chronoboost. If protoss chronos probes, he gets more workers than terran, so terran makes up for this with their macro mechanic in mules. In this scenario, if both had equal harvesters, YoDa might've overpowered him in the all-in attack on the first try with the extra few SCVs. :p Who knows. | ||

Unless you can prove that this is the case and that pulling scvs somehow increases your win percentage significantly this is nothing but speculation. I don't deal with hypotheticals, I deal with facts. | ||

was really close, if Tear had 2 storms instead of the 5 immortals he would have held it. | ||

It comes naturally with the territory, in all other sports as well. If you can't take a loss, you don't belong imo. | ||

That's not at all what he meant, he said Yoda made better decisions than Tear and that's why he won. You just read it the way you did cause even though you're trying to pretend to view this from an impartial stats standpoint, you're actually just rooting for terran =p But don't worry, everyone is rooting, we don't mind. | ||
