The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained. |

For the people asking for P cannons vs drops:
That is viable in very lategame, but it is not affordable or efficient at all in early or mid game aganist drop play (korean level). Is a fact not an opinion. Dumb reasoning. No race WANTS to "waste" money on stationary defenses, you're forced to do it because you can't spend the entire game defending. Just like terran is forced into turrets, protoss is being forced into cannons. It's time to adapt. Reaper probe kill yeap!
Except turrets are better and Terran drops are by far the best. The apparent issue with afterburner is that it allows Terran to do a lot more damage at a lot less risk. They can zip between bases with a large force, using their mobility to bypass any anti-air (two cannons do not work!) and when they have done their damage they can zip back to the safety of the main army in a few short second with no risk of being chased down.
To deter a Terran from dropping with two or more medivacs a Protoss will need at minimum four stalkers or three cannons, and even then they can boost out of range and immediately drop elsewhere.

I don't like Thorzain. Mainly because I hate his games. There were cute for awhile but consistently uninteresting games. Well Lifting time brb for PartinG

Thorzain is the Terran equivalent of Hasuobs... Not necessarily a bad thing, just funny to see this level of turtling in such an advantagious position

It's too early to tell regarding speed medivacs. But, I am doubtful that cannons are the solution. Marauders just chew up cannons, and putting multiple cannons in every possible drop area is not realistic. Anyway, we'll have to wait and see.
The best answer to bio drops has always been to either not let them land, or to storm the hell out of them. Stargate play seems like the best solution, though I don't think this series was a great way to judge the matchup's balance.
Yeah, I agree. Spotting pylons, blink Stalkers, HT are the answer as they were in WOL. Cannons are useless once the drop lands (especially if it is Marauder heavy). I'm not sure how these will factor into speed boosted medivacs in HOTS but Protoss will have to try out a few things in the coming months, and not look to Blizzard (Blizzard should hold back on nerfs for a while).
SG play will be interesting. I just hope it does not result in Protoss having Phoenix+VR to stop drops, only to get steamrolled by the Terran army rolling through the front door and the Protoss army helpless to hold without sufficient splash.
I agree, though, that this was not the best game to gauge anything substantive. Polt outplayed Creator, hard.

Thorzain vs Killer looks like my gold league games

This is getting frustratingly boring. C'mon Thorzain, do something other than scanning.
|
thorzain is taking the piss...
|
the scan frequency is ridiculous

Everyone seems just to take the seeker missiles without reacting to it at all. Just a-moving and getting blown up.
I know right? I mean how much more obvious does it need to get, the unit that is targeted is bright red and has a big white line pointed right at it. The only way it gets more obvious is if the game yelled at you to split your fucking units the moment someone casted a seeker missile :p

Hearing scans go down every 2 seconds is crazy annoying.

One would think that getting spooned by Thorzain is an enjoyable experience considering how cute and handsome he is

Tfunk has now gotten up to Oprah money.

Thorzain is the new Goody. GMT is out of style, introduce something with T-Zain.
