Several colossi with range combined with all those forcefields would in my opinion have been the better choice. A complete tech switch when he knew that all he had to do was to play it ubersafe was what killed him. All that "close" fighting with archons in the dying minutes was just postponing the inevitable; there was no coming back even if the casters got alittle excited. Ofcourse one could argue that not building the robo bay in the first place would have been the smartest choice, but once it was there he should have made the most of it. In conclusion I agree that colosi wasn't the optimal choice, but when he didn't have time for storm he should have built colosi like a mad man because with archons low range they are the perfect target for stimmed bio with scv tanks; yes they do heavy damage, but they melt so so fast. | ||

If he gets more colossi he's not safe though because there won't be an SCV pull. Instead he'd be delaying storm and giving Yoda an equally strong, if not stronger timing with more vikings or a chance to expand and transition into ghosts safely. 3 colossi is all you get. You can think of it like a pre hive all in in PvZ. If the zerg maxes out on roach/infestor to hold your attack and delays their BL tech, there's no need to do a 3 base attack in the first place because the timings are altered and the zerg has more supply in their army that's taking away from the threat you're trying to avoid by doing the attack (BLs; in the TvP case High Templar). | ||

I have edited my post as I wasn't clear enough Olli, I do agree that colossi isn't optimal in his situation. He was however on three bases versus a two base terran. That is not the time to switch tech, because a two base terran cannot simply expand and transition into ghosts safely against a three base protoss. Terran was on a clock, a massive clock hanging over him waiting to crush him. Not going all in was not a viable option in any way for Yoda. | ||

Terran was on a clock, a massive clock hanging over him waiting to crush him. Not going all in was not a viable option in any way for Yoda. Yes and no, Yoda had to do damage in one way or another once he committed to the build. It's pretty hard for protoss to hold that 2 base all in that's specifically designed to kill a colossus build before storm. However, the longer he waits for storm, the more time he's giving Yoda to mass vikings and optimize his Vikings:Colossi ratio, making his attack even stronger. There's really no optimal choice against it that will guarantee you to win. You might have to treat it like a 1/1/1, stalling for time on the map to buy time for storm to finish. If you get storm done in time and enough templar with energy, you will murder this attack and win the game. | ||

It's really weird his ZvZ is so insanely good..like in BW. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Jaedong have the best ZvZ ever in BW? Really interesting it carried over ~ | ||

How would you feel if someone came up to you and just started shitting on you for no reason. Then afterwards, they tell you 'hey man, it is either love or hate, it is not indifference.'. Would you feel better? | ||

He tweeted + Show Spoiler + 응원해주시는 팬여러분 항상 감사드리고 오늘 져서 죄송해요~ㅠㅠ 아직 경험이 많이 부족한것같네요... 좌절하지않고 더 열심히해서 금방 다시 좋은경기 보여드리도록할테니 조금만 기다려주세요~!! Apologies to thank the fans always cheer me today. ㅠ ㅠ yet a lot of experience to be lacking guess ... Please wait a little bit frustrated without a good game right back harder and I'll be happy to show ~! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4rbiz.jpg) ) so he moves up to 6th on the depth chart if these are the relative norm for recently. Therefore, it wouldn't be crazy to assume he might get some playing time in the GSTL. I wouldn't be surprised to see him come out as a starter or something since FXO usually likes to send a player kind of in that range of skill first to feel out the opponent. We've seen people like TheBest, asd, etc. come out in that spot in the past. | ||
