Come on Artosis... Can't you just curse all the Koreans for once? ONCE?

I wonder if the PvPlayoffs are possibly driving away a few viewers. Hopefully not.

of course they are. I switched off and went to work on something as soon as I saw the PvP beginning. I would not watch a PvP finale AT ALL.
From all the mirror matchups PvP is the most boring.
Generally to me, Protoss is the most boring race to watch. Also to play (tried it so often now, cannot motivate me - i don't like the mechanics behind it, its not like Zerg or Terran, where I feel much more "controlling" the game during I play it, but maybe thats because with protoss many players stay defensive until they have this one death ball and then go for it, which isn't as fun to play or watch then to really wear your opponent down through aggression, harassement, summing up minor advantages to a big one...

Meanwhile, if the final is a TvZ, I won't bother watching. It's almost as if people prefer watching their own race...

well...yes... and no.
TvZ has for a long time been considered the best/most entertaining MU to watch. If you make a survey this will be the MU way in front of PvZ or PvT. Not counting the mirror matchups.
Of course the "my own race that i understand" thing comes into play. But I play random and still P is compared to the other races less exciting to play and watch for me, although I try to bring the skills in, i learned from playing the other races (constant harassement throughout the games, several warp prisms 3+ working on different places around the map and even EVACUATE the warped in units (a thing you have to learn as terran very soon, but after 3 years of SC2, protoss still didn't learn to evacuate their ~1k ressources warpin, guess it's not required yet, but shows, that there is still room for improvement throughout the players and that it is not the race alone, that protoss isn't considered OP ATM).
And of course, if people watch only the race they play, PvP finals would lead to lower viewer counts, as there is only one of the 3 races played (and because of the mirror builds, it is even less exciting...)



The mamacore and nexuscannon have completely changed the matchup. People need to stop crying like its still 4gate vs 4gate every game... it's a deeper MU than ZvZ by far.

I agree completely with you. I didn't say it didn't improve.
Plus, these 4v4 Gateway games where at least short ^^. No srsly it has improved a lot, but i still don't like the lack of harassement and army control, and that it FEELS sometimes (not saying it IS or it is all the time) that the toss players wait till they have this 1 huge army and then a-move. Which doesn't sound skillful or exciting at all.
But again: I agree it has improved, I still don't feel to excited about it. I still feel the warpin mechanics took much away from the protoss race, as I don't see too many army control groups any more that do damage on different places on the map at the same time, like in a TvZ or TvP or in Brood War.
But maybe that is yet to come - still waiting since release of sc2

His curse would need to charge it's power for a while before it would take effect.

I will enjoy the break from SC2 watching, as NA Finals are there tonight as well...
Thank you Protoss, that 6 of you made it to the RO8


Glad that you're using this break well, explaining to us why your taste in watching video games is better than ours.

Templar archives with blink seems like a blink/archon timing to me

third doesn't though. This is weird, he should start getting aggressive with those stalkers then

sometimes I think it needs a List where Artosis called out a Winner or something and cursed him.
List would be long right now, but it is different when we say it FEELS long or we actually have prove.

So, which Artosis curses do you remember guys?

Oh so it was actually a blink/archon timing after the third

but he suicided all his stalkers so I don't think he can do that

EDIT: well unless Welmu is way out of position, lol
