Artosis was talking about that recently. He sai dhe couldn't wait to see how devastating PartinG's immortal sentry all in will be with time warps | ||

I know, I'll run into my own bases choke points against collosus when I could have attacked as he left his base! Also calling that an all-in is laughable as he stopped probe production at saturation on his bases, why make more probes than you need if you plan to expand later if your attack fails? He timing attacked, not all ind. You have recall now so not every protoss attack is an all in. why do you speak when you have no clue? :/ it was an allin in every sense of the word | ||

Minigun did a lot of things wrong though, these losses reflect more on IdrA than on Minigun. | ||

It allows to make terrible positioning mistakes and come out unscathed. They already have plenty of space control spells with FF and time warp but the recall allows them to mess up both of those spells and still be fine. | ||

You have all these players who were ready to debut their HotS skills against the WoL pros who maybe haven't trained enough or who haven't had as much success with HotS. These are opportunities for teams to look at new HotS player and could help build new sc2 careers. The only way to look at this tournament and make sense of it is from a business point of view. MLG gets more viewers this way, and eSports dies a little. (Not to be taken as is eSports is #DYING, because it's not). | ||

I'm going to say It's mostly because currently this is the only place you can watch new HotS content until release now that the beta is down. That and It's a sunday in NA with two popular NA players playing. | ||

No flank, but FF and colossus against roach hydra is still deadly. It wasn't an all in, it was a timing attack that forced units and he got away and started making probes again. There's no point making more probes than your bases can handle if you know you won't be expanding super fast. There are such things as 2 base attacks which are not all in. Not every game of Starcraft where one person has a later 3rd base is an all in. Recall makes Toss able to attack and still get away without having to lose everything. That's good for the game. Idra had tons of units which he did nothing with. He could have contained toss, but nope he ran back to his bases for no reason. | ||
