Leave a high templar and mothership core at home, and just go fucking kill him.
I can bet protoss will do a handful of phoenix to deal with them soon
artosis does this on his stream. but you can´t hold direct attacks on your natural. so you have to build cannons there. if the terran sees it, he just doesn´t attack and you are behind again.

Chill out people, he is playing in the tournament not, you, he is the one under pressure, not you, he is working with imperfect information, while we can see everything. Stop trashing on a good player, it would have been insightful if the casting team had show PartinG's vision in that game, I'm quite sure if they took a look PartinG actually never saw the saturation of the main mineral line, he really had no clue how much damage he had done.
Then don't gg if you are unsure of your position in the game. What is the worst thing that could possibly happen? He comes and destryos you. Then you can still gg.
Premature gg'ing in a major tournament is inexcusable.
As I said, he is in the tournament and he was the one under pressure, cut him some slack, when you get in that chair and play at that level then you'll have the right to judge him. To me it seems like a perfectly valid thing to do given the information he had at hand.
He also seems to be very alone, during past times inbetween games, always better to have a guy there to boost your confidence and talk you up or tell you what you did wrong and come up with suggestions.
Yeah exactly, LG-IM have all of each other to boost morale, give advice and just provide a sense of comfort and camaraderie that can be the difference between a win or a loss in situations like these. For PartinG, every situation, every loss is something he needs to digest and analyze all alone, and he also has to keep his own morale and composure up on his own.

this is interesting because Hellbats have increased targetting priority than marines/marauders so when parting attack moved, his first few volleys were hitting the hellbats instead of the MM ball
Why do hellbats have increased target priority? Are there other units who have it as well? Had no idea, thought it was just 0 or 1.
I don't have a full list, but nexus cannon has increased priority over cannons. So if T drops you and you have cannons, photon overcharge on nexus and a-moving drops won't target photon cannon but the nexus
i'd assume hellbat priority is because they're short ranged units so they're "in-your-face."
For people complain about the medivacs. Remember that PartinG told another player (Nerchio) that he had only played about 40 games of HoTS. Of course, it could be mind games or what not. But since PartinG only had about 10 days after his Ro8 to beta end. It is possible that PartinG was still helping out SKT1 with PL and didn't play much.

PartinG wasn't allowed to play in the PL for that round, new players can't participate in the current round. So he was free to practice and train for whatever he wanted, I find it kind of odd he wouldn't have practiced his heart out for HoTS.

He was probably "sure" that he was "sure" of his position in the game.
Not thinking "hmmm i wonder how many SCV's he has"
Im not sure if the orbitals were pissing out SCV's after re re-positioned it or not...but parting probably just assumed the worst (and had seen a visual indicator of the energy on the CC's)

No clue, maybe it's related to fast and furious
Yeh its Khaldors influence, and its because they seem to "press the NOS button" and give it shit - as per Vin Diesel in the greatest movie of all time.
Aha, that makes sense, cheers for the explanation..
