Fantasy didnt win ... Hero lost the game by being stupid enough not to cover his main base border with cannons which allowed the drops to come in and rape him.

Cannons REALLY make your life easier because they take one worry out of the equasion. Obviously you need enough of them with speed Medivacs, but considering the amount of Stalkers and Nexus' Hero lost I think cannons would have been much cheaper.

But he still won? you can't deny this fact

Ok ... here is the "long version" ...


Fantasy didnt win the game because of his own super skill ... Hero lost it because he was stupid to leave a gigantic achilles heel open and accessible to Fantasy. Terrans use drops nowadays and Fantasy even showed his desire to do so several times and yet Hero did NOTHING to cover up that side of his MAIN. Leaving units there to defend is bad because that will reduce your army size, so cannons are the option to choose. They must be placed in a way to shoot at Medivacs before they even get to a place where they can start dropping ... i.e. at the edge of the cliff ... and there must be a sufficient number of them. 4-6 cannons should have done the trick and that would have been much cheaper than everything he lost there to defend. The patrolling Phoenix was nice, but it got shot down in the end.

Well I don't need to play Protoss to see that HerO was lack of mineral, build 4 - 6 cannons and Hero won't have enough Warpgate, units etc etc...
Terran used to drop since 2010 not nowadays

Hero had 22 probes... how was he supposed to afford 600-900 mins for cannons. LOL. and even then. once fantasy finds out where the cannons are located, he goes to a spot in the main where they are not.

That "northern border" isnt that big to get a spot where you dont have cannons and if he goes around to the left he comes close to the natural where Hero's army can be to defend ... which endangers the drop again. Hero didnt build any more probes after 22 and didnt have any more?

Did he have only 22 after the drops started? (You know that "main base massacre" at the beginning.) You dont have to wait until the drops start to build cannons ...

In any case there are supposedly four things wrong in my sentence and this was just two.

Investing in 4-6 cannons to defend a cliff is something you'd only see in bronze. You say leaving units there is bad because it reduces army size so instead you waste 600+ minerals which does far more damage to your army size and gives 0 mobility. "Terrans use drops nowadays" gave me a laugh too.

So explain to me why losing 6 Stalkers is cheaper than building 6 cannons and scaring the drop off or at least making it less easy to pull off. Cannons control space and have 7 range compared to Stalkers with only 6; Cannons also have almost twice the number of hit points and cost zero gas.

In any case splitting up a Protoss army is kinda bad if your "other clump" consists only of Zealots, Immortals and a few Sentries and you are fighting against a lot of Marines. Melee units have an intrinsic disadvantage against ranged and the synergy between Forcefield and Zealots has always been negative.

Zealots in that army were a waste IMO because they didnt have charge yet, so swapping them out for cannons and keeping the Stalkers with the army is much better ... since Stalkers synergize much better with Forcefield. The only good job a Zealot can do is runbys and harrassment.

Cannons are always the last resort for pros, they are only good in late game or with a huge lead. HerO's lead is not that significant once those stalkers died.

Hero just went on tilt after getting his Nexus sniped. Double expanding after that was likely a mistake, too. He had to dedicate half his forces to defend the middle between his second and third bases. Fantasy simply just made sure he had more troops against Hero's main than Hero had defending it.

Hero also had his colossus sniped with Fantasy not losing much. All his oracles after that 22-kill one died without doing much damage, either.

LOL. cannons can't fight with your main army, stalkers can. if hero had more observers on the map, he could have positioned his army better. 4-6 cannons is wayyy to big of an investment, when you can just use stalkers, which can be used in the army later. And wtf are you saying that sentries and zealots don't have good synergy????? you forcefield behind the army, and then send your zealots in. they can't kite away because they are forcefielded, and so the have to take that damage or lift with the medivacs. and once you notice (with your observers) that their entire army is about to attack you with no incoming drop, you are free to put your stalkers with your army. and if he decides to drop while attacking, then you can leave your stalkers in your main, because of the supply he has commited in the drop.


EDIT: and if you feel that your right and i'm wrong, please link to vods where a pro protoss massed cannon's on the border of his main in the start of the game,

Hero just went on tilt after getting his Nexus sniped. Double expanding after that was likely a mistake, too. He had to dedicate half his forces to defend the middle between his second and third bases. Fantasy simply just made sure he had more troops against Hero's main than Hero had defending it.

Hero also had his colossus sniped with Fantasy not losing much. All his oracles after that 22-kill one died without doing much damage, either.


wasnt a mistake, he had to take a gamble to get back into the game cus he was economically behind


Agreed. It's a textbook way to catch up when u are behind. Taking a risk. Nalra knows how its done.

I still think Snute can do very well in this setting. So I feel it was a good decision to give him the chance. He beating top notch koreans in other tournaments, he should manage to do it here to soon!

Man, that last game is good. I guess fantasy is not a noob as I thought. Hope OSL thing is just a fluke.

You think Fantasy is a noob makes me really sad. He hasn't achieved a whole lot in sc2 but the lack of respect and ignorance makes me so sad.

Flash had better marketing despite fantasy being in better form, having better results, and being able to take down flash head to head at the end of bw.

You mean Flash had better marketing at the start of sc2 right? And sometimes I wonder BW had lived on for another year at least for Fantasy's sake. He deserved it after all those final OSL appearances and silver medals.



P.S.- This dream also includes MMA being an SKT terran playing sc2. :'(

If BW lived for another year Fantasy will just add about 2-3 more silver medals to his trophy case.

I love Fanta but his hot streak against Flash in the end is kind of tainted by the fact that they were for a long time playing two games at the same time by then.
