Lol, passive Protoss = passive opponent, regardless of race. That's just how badly designed Protoss is. If a Toss is turtling, there's really no reason to attack, FF + splash is that good in chokes. Against the other races, you can pick apart turtling easier.

It has nothing to do with Stephano. SH vs protoss is usually this way. Sucks tbh, but blizz is 'happy' with SH.

Wtf, why are the players allowed to sit so they can see each other's screens? I thought they at least position the monitors at an angle if the players are sitting close to each other.

Oh man and manas playstyle was much better turtling to voidray/colossi/templar then being aggressive. So much better.


Lets just ignore the warp prism play shall we so that your argument remains relevant.


That fantastic 2 time 10 zealots warp-in with an idle warp prism. So fun to watch, so masterful...

Looks like Stephano is gonna win the whole thing. If he can beat carriers I can't see anything else stopping him.

ZvZ is probably going to knock-out Stephano, especially with TLO, Snute already in the Ro8, and viOlet and HyuN very likely to advance.

If you are referring to purely Stephano vs MaNa, then yes, Stephano does look better than MaNa currently.

there is no better turtle than the mass voidray+tempest-carrier+templar-archon-collosi-immortal with mass cannons everywhere. massive god-mode composition in PvZ. You can trade vs 20 zerg armies without losing one unit. It is the one and only legit faceroll comp

getting there can be a problem though :D

Ive never actually seen Protoss defeat this turtle style swarmhost......seems Stephano has everything covered...He denies warm prism play with mass spines and small roach hydra army....Wouldnt suprise me if he went SH in every ZvP...looks very solid.....great army control as usual.....
Im just a zerg

They could nerf static defeses, thats the only way i see thise whole "SH-Static defense will win my game while im going to prepare myself a cup of coffee" composition without taking out SH from the game

or Queens ?

He didn't "beat carriers". Mana just donated them for no reason.

David Kim specifically stated that he was not a fan of passive swarm host use. If Stephano's SH style gets popular you can bank on Blizzard making some changes.

almost certainly going to be the case, unless Thorzain goes full badass spoon. or maybe if Mana manages to advance over Stephano but i kinda doubt it.

which is the only issue IMO, I've seen Soulkey use them offensively rather successfully in Proleague and they are great units then.

Sure, they will make another passive unit for P and T that could counter static SH, thats how they balance this game...

MaNa can always just go for Immortal/Sentry and win like he always does against Stephano.
