You can't blame him for picking Hydra's vs that deathball comp.

This is just a living nightmare for Ret. I am so disappointed I was hoping HotS would give us some edge on Koreans but now they just laugh at our weakness. Sigh...whatever happened to "we will play HotS all day and they will be stuck on WoL" darn it.

Guys, remember that unit compisition, its the new ultimate Protoss deathball against Zerg until Blizzard nerfs voidray or make corruptors good against voidrays again.

New? This is just standard two years ago :p

I'm talking about the voidray/archon/templar which is the next step where you simply remove the collosuses. There is litteraly nothing Zerg can do which beats that. The Zerg just dies, period.

So you're supposed to bate the prismatic alignment; Maybe making the voids more vulnerable while on cooldown is the way to go then?
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Those IM players all seem to have unbeatable strats. I suppose having tons of players in the team help for the training in a new game. At least we should see how is HotS supposed to be at high level with them playing in the last rounds.

Funny how yonghwa still rapes that army even without void charge.

Hopefully there wil be a stat figured out soon to combat protoss before they get to this deathball. Those super-deathball games are so boring. Honestly, after watching this tournament so far, I am not keen to play HotS at all. THe current state of the game is just no fun. Just my opinion though


The specialist roles by each Protoss units make the deathball composition the only choice, no matter the nerfs and buffs.

Yes, then make Ultras to beat Air Deathball... ooh, wait a sec ....

Kinda feel we transitioned from one deathball to another... Voidrays do just way too much damage. Corruptorshit air ONLY so i really think they should be able to kill Void Rays.

Yonghwa is playing so well o_o. This strat seems very very effective. I think Ret needs to do some more aggressive 2 base stuff else Yonghwa will just set up perfectly.


I agree with this. In WoL Zerg would get their Bl/Infestor/corruptor if you just leave them alone. Now its protoss that gets a pretty good army if you dont do anything

alright time to get the foreigner over with and go into the good matches. IM taking all top 4 would be so awesome, Violet has a pretty good against First though i think (then again, i love Violet too so it's not that big of a deal).

Voids will definitely get nerfed after this tournament.

Eh, I think that was more on Ret engaging into the charged voids and having a pretty bad army comp than anything. Lots of hydras and hosts against 4 colossi, and not backing off when he saw prismatic alignment was activated. Only a couple sentries and the MSC was dead, so it's not like he couldn't fall back.


Lol he did retreat twice from the charged void rays.

Should zerg be trying mass muta here? I seem to recall that being the counter to the old void ray/colossus balls that used to be a problem in WoL PvZ. I guess the switch back into Phoenix would be pretty easy though.

Against Stargate opening? hahaha

The funny thing is, back in the first ever GSTL, IM-Yonghwa made a name for himself with his unique "Laser play" composition consisting Voidray and Colosus...now after 2 years he is now at the highest point of his career with the same composition in another expansion.
