In fact, going for any aggression as protoss can be more taxing mechanically. He literally sat in his base just macroing up, never had to defend against any drops because his build was airtight with the late 3rd base. Which is why Maru if he wants to win here needs to force Rain into something by taking an earlier third or by hitting him hard early neglecting upgrades. If he lets Rain tech to both techs freely then Rain can devote all his focus to his army, and he's really good with late game armies. | ||

The crucial time is before he takes his third. The difference between an allin timing and safe macro really is just +2 / +3 gates or the nexus. Before he puts down the 3rd nexus, you cannot know. Thats the hard part. Obviously if he puts it down at 13:30 its macro, but how the hell do you know beforehand. As mentioned, the correct response would be greed / early 3rd and 4th for Terran but he will hit the timing if he spots it. | ||

Not everyone is good at making an airtight defense. sOs wouldn't really be too good if he played like this, he plays to his strength, which is wonky builds and better strategies/decisions. Rain is definitely the best toss right now though. I can understand people wanting to play different ways, It's just surprising we don't see more protoss at least play this way. IMO it is superior to any aggressive play. Why roll the dice in the early game when their is an advantage for Protoss in the late game? Makes no sense. Obviously some aggressive play works like in sOs's case, I just don't think its as good in general. | ||

he was afraid of a high coloss allin and went for a 2nd starport. hard to tell if protoss switches to templar after 3 colossi or goes for 5-6 at the point you decide between 2nd starport and ghost academy. but you can't know that. | ||

But yes TvP macro games are incredibly boring to watch, especially if you have somebody like Rain in it. Indeed, playing too safe in TvZ can backfire quite seriously for both Terran and Zerg. I don't know whether or not this is the case in TvP however. | ||
