Pulling SCVs works because marines have massive DPS but low HP, so using SCVs to tank will allow your marines to put out more DPS. Protoss units have low DPS (aside from the zealot which would be blocked by the probes) and high HP. The probes would not give your stalkers enough time to kill anything worthwhile. Also, if you hold after losing probes you will be way behind due to mules. So it is almost never worth it. This logic is blowing my mind. Rain was dead with that many scvs pulled. You're arguing that bringing more units into the fight was useless even though that's the only option he has to have any leg in the game? How can you argue against using your only option when you are otherwise going to get killed? It's the only option. And I know it works. | ||

The games in SPL, most of them arent high level. but Ive watched the GSTL and most of those arent high level either. Players are struggling to find a niche. But SPL is more entertaining than GSTL. | ||

I actually prefer the Bo7 All kill format to Pro-League's. Bo9 is even better. The dynamic it creates when only one match up is prepared ahead of time makes me more invested. The potentiality of an all kill or reverse all kill in every match up leaves a lot to hope for. | ||

It might work if you keep the colossus alive, once they are dead so is the protoss... Bio is just too good when upgraded against probes, they melt like butter | ||

Proleague shows many more rookies and low level players, instead of top guns all the time. Their games are usually very entertaining, because they will do anything to win that one single game. And it's a better story if a rookie wins. Always loved interviews from those 30% winrate kids, even some 0% winrate kids. | ||

They're so expensive and in small groups they do nothing and they only really become effective with decent splash support... So you just turtle... and hope you can get that golden comp before your opponent kills you. TvP has been practically the same matchup since WoL first came out. And it's rarely an exiting thing to spectate. | ||

There'd need to be something like a midgame upgrade that somehow diffuses the strength from a couple units to all our units. I specify midgame, because if our T1 units are strong from the getgo, you see a lot of what we had in early WoL: all ins and timing attacks that T and Z can't beat before they get their economies rolling. I just want to get rid of stalkers, honestly; blink is neat, but the unit itself is just so terrible in straight up engagements with the worst upgrade scaling in the entire game. | ||

Those match ups rarely if ever live up to their hype though. Besides, I have GSL Code S, Code A or other premier tournaments like MLG to hope for match ups like those. Give me a Flash vs Fantasy Bo5-Bo7 and now you have my attention. GSTL gets me going precisely because it isn't just a series of preplanned matches. There's a level of spontaneity to it that only occurs in Pro-league during the ace match. I love that about it. | ||

They just keep your stalkers and zealots alive. Stalkers and zealots will not win you the fight and without the probes you will lose the game. If you really think it works you should go play a PvT and pull probes when you get into this situation, see how far that gets you. | ||
