Can't wait to see it!!I think the only choice vs Immortal allin really is burrow play. Everything else is better for Protoss than before. slower creepspread (radius down from 10 to 8 and some addtionals seconds cause of the animation), mothership core and Hallucinations. You can't counter attack because of recall and timewarp functions almost as an additional twice as big forcefield which doesn't affect Protoss units. It's not like you can walk through a timewarp in that situation. Hydras and swarhmosts don't come in play early enough to deal with immortal All-in. | ||

Every other protoss gets shit on when they do this build. yeah its true you are behind but not far behind IMO and that's better than just die 100% of the time | ||

I meant in general, because most of the whine is about balance in general. Very few players execute that all-in effectively and even then it's been stopped before, and I tend to avoid games played between players of unequal skill as examples of balance. In general, I think Zerg is the race that has to redevelop their strategies and tactics the most in HoTS. Imbalances or not, this means they will initially be behind as they figure out what works best. | ||

That Time Warp (Bomb) was on the Mothership and slowed incoming projectiles down to zero and they then fell to the ground when time warp finished. Looked really, really badass! + Show Spoiler + Imagine if they had left black hole in the game instead of vortex. lol | ||

It has nothing to do with months and weeks. Mana said in an interview yesterday that Parting had only played around 40 HotS games before the tournament. We know for a fact that Stephano had played more than that, he had over 100 when I checked his account while beta was still up. | ||

With burow being at hatch it might be viable to get baneling nest as well. Snipe obs with mutas and then protoss has trouble getting to your nat if you have banes. Mutas are now much stronger in HotS, should be easier to base trade. | ||
