Certainly he faced stargate x blink in practice before, it was likely a pre-planned tactic to overcome the BO disadvantage. SKT playoff preparation and all. | ||

Switching out of the scouted phoenixes to an oracle because you know he won't have a nexus cannon. No way he goes oracle there normally, he'd straight up die to blink stalker with a robo that late. I'm sure he could've come up with it on the spot but the break certainly makes it easier. He also probably knew he was likely up against blink as well because of the mocore scout. | ||

Shouldn't happen though that you are caught that off guard, as they just suck at chasing. But for now it seems super effective in Pro League when some players don't even notice one in their mineral line for a minute. | ||

The novelty was making the oracle after two phoenix, nobody ever does that. I am sure the timing of the oracle is what caught Dear off guard when he went for the knee jerk reaction to chase the last phoenix. Plus there was the early game that lead to the MSC having less energy, just short of a cannon, which was another thing to throw Dear a bit off. The more I think about this play, the more impressed I am with Parting. Not to mention if he lost the phoenix too early or bolted with it too fast, it wouldn't work. Great game. | ||

The end would have been the same except hit much earlier since parting wouldn't have had to worry about saturation.  edit: so basically there are 2 risk choices at that point. Try to play incredibly greedy with mass probes and no army or, the risk which he took, attempt to all in. Didn't work o: I think he would have had a better chance being greedy with mass probes, it was 14 to 30, and making double probes to 1...parting had slow units and no blink.....Dear with mothership, nexus cannon could have held i think. But just an opinion, maybe same result. | ||

Nobody said anything about oracles being OP or lame or anything, just that they are incredibly weird and there's really no arguing that. A unit that specializes in killing workers quickly, can only attack for so long based off energy, and has additional spells to use? Yea thats weird | ||

imho the high amount of pvps is really harming interest in proleague, even though pvp currently is (probably) the best mirror matchup. (which is kinda ridiculous by itself...) | ||
