I play protoss, is it odd that i really really cant wait to be trying to deal with speedyvacs.

Agreed, defending drops as protoss can be frustrating, but there is nothing sweeter than sniping that medivac full of units. Specially with a templar :D

Play less greedy first.


First was already starting to fall behind in econ thanks to MULEs, how is it supposed to work that Protoss has to play less greedy while Terran can do the exact same thing they used to do, delay the third with Widow Mines AND get teleportvacs without an upgrade or energy expenditure?

Sick game by Yoda! Man he is good. Also almost 60k viewers now, 4 from each race in top12, I would call the first hots tournament a succes .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

why dont terran go mech vs P?


Medivac harass has been the deciding factor in almost every TvP YoDa played thus far. You can't do that with mech.

ofc u can? u do realize widow mines is a factory unit? also u can do hellion speedy drops

Mehh what makes bio drops so effective isn't killing probes really, it's sniping tevh buildings, catching small groups of units and spreading the toss army thin etc.

Mines and hellions can't do those things.

They can't kill tech stall upgrades and force masses of units out of position. ZOMG 4 hellions, oh wait I have stalkers and MSC. With observer coverage mid game drop timings with widow mines are laughable. Early game, sure, but mid game is where YoDa is dealing damage.

The drop won because the colossus didn't have thermal lance. It was a good timing. The forcefields that First threw down to protect his colossus kept the zealots from hitting the marine marauders, which then took out the sentries and stalkers without the splash of the colossus.

You guys remember Flash vs Rain in code A? Now imagine Flash with speedivacs.


But Rain would have photon overcharge so those 1 medivac drops from Flash wouldn't have been as effective. These new drops are 2-3 medivacs drops so the situation is slightly different. But will be interesting to see how Flash and Fantasy will handle their speedivacs. Same with someone like MMA.

Yeah. But iam sure that stargate opener can be really relevant here. One oracle to harass, a handfull of phoenix to handle drops, VR for viking and cover colossi. They need new builds.

Even if you know that the Terran is coming with this, when he is coming and where he is dropping it is still hard to even break even against it. That is antithetical to how RTS games are supposed to work. Artosis alluded to this as well.

Perhaps it is too early to judge the strength of this, but if it is still playing this way in a few months then we may have a problem!

Bio crushes us so much that we barely hold the timings when teching to our aoe, what do you think will happen when we get phoenixes before aoe?

Yea this whining seems like people jsut decided to watch this one series and bitch. Playing on the beta ladder PvT was a completely different match up for me to play out then WoL between early game mines/reapers mid game speedvacs, potential for mech. Mech vs Toss hasn't really been shown yet but once the pro's get used to playing mech it will be strong

Right, I think Protoss need new builds. You can see that Yoda is using a HotS build whereas First is doing a WoL build. Protoss player here (just incase).
It's good to be back
