Im not seeing a reason to complain when all that I see is Terrans beating Protoss and Protoss beating Terran.
"couldn't close it" is probably also not necessarily accurate. Its more like TaeJa being okay with patiently waiting for the safest point to crush Rain at.

I do agree with you, but more than 50% of games (of all SC2) go to deathball vs deathball like this one, and thats boring

That game was over for 20 minutes because Rain had terribly low economy. At one point he was on one base while Taeja was on 3 with tons of Orbitals behind. Rain played horrible and lost that game due to his stubbornness to actually expand. The sad part is that Taeja had to wait so long to kill Rain because of how ridiculously strong Protoss 200/200 army is in PvT. If anything, that game displayed how ridiculous Protoss is that it can live for 20 minutes on 1-2 bases against a massive Terran economy. I play Protoss, so no bias here.
you mean the part where they didnt attack each other for those 20 minutes. and when they did, the toss army got rekt?

The dancing is beautiful. It was intense and exciting until rain got a 4th, and then it was a dance of killing observers. Really stopped being exciting at that point.
Still dont understand why rain didnt expand to the top while taeja commited so hard to denying him the 4th at the bottom

seems everyone is focusing on what the two armies did for the last 10 minutes instead of everything taeja did to be in a position to keep rain's bank low.
In most games a protoss would just rebuild after that huge engagement. This time only Taeja was able to get his population to bounce back.

Wasn't it Boxer who did this first in excess at GSL season 2 or something?
Also I've been joking that WCS season 3 will be in Canada and I just learned it's true!!

Anything that can move and detect is countered by Vikings and scans. Cloak handles the rest. Tempests, Observers following your Colossi. It also helps not to enter lategame massively behind; if people think 10 macro OCs 180 army size is the norm for each lategame TvP, they're fairly deluded.
Tempests are terrible against Vikings.
