I don't know if people realize this but YongHwa is arguably and in my opinion the best Protoss in the world, him slaughtering Ret is no surprise to me especially when Ret went on tilt.

Damn this is a disappointing series so far, thought Ret would do way better.

Oh well, looking like 3/4 IM in semis. Let's do it First :p

I'm pretty sure IM is the most imbalanced thing in HOTS.

The amount of balance whine about Protoss after a Code S class Korean Protoss beats Ret is a bit astonishing I must say.

You forget, ret wears a blue shirt, blue shirts always prompts balance whine when blue shirts lose.


So true. The amount of whining whenever Hero loses is insane...

Just can't understand why there isn't any drawback to prismatic alignment and the emergency thrusters for the medivacs. There shouldn't be a button you just press to make your units better.

Yeah, I think if they both used energy it would solve a lot of problems. Even so, I still think the prismatic charge would be OP. Or perhaps when you use it, it should drop the void rays' shields.


Yeah I'd say that would be a pretty good tradeoff. Either make these abilities available through upgrades or make them have drawbacks. Emergency thrusters should cost 50 energy or make them slower after the ability is spent and voidrays should loose their shields.

Yonghwa played better, but Ret was impressive in this tournament.

Next up is the master, viOLet! He's gonna crush LG-IM's dreams and wishes.

No wonder, he even gave up on U/D matches for IEM HotS.

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


How are u supposed to be aggressive versus FF and TW? There wasnt much early/mid game attacks timings for Z in WOL, and now there none with the addition of TW.


I dont know. But the passive way doesnt seem to work either..

Ret looked really angry when he gg'ed, for a second i thought he would just go over and kick YongHwa lol

That was a simple series. Yonghwa totally dominating. I think there wasn't even a moment in all 3 games where ret had a chance.

No, Ret outplayed himself in that series...

Still a really impressive showing from Ret this tournament, but Yonghwa had a really great style and Ret got tilted.

I think Ret will be one of the best foreigners in HotS he has excellent mechanics, really smart and he looks in great shape physically which should all translate into success
