It wasn't the greatest of all time.

But that was, although boring, the showcase of very solid play from both sides. And that counts too. Seeing very good starcraft compensate for the fact that it was a bit boring.

this is boring to those not playing the game.
But it is so intense to watch for a high tank scii player. The dancing is beautiful.

you're tricking yourself into feeling elitist and happy. good trick

They'll be back when another Protoss win happens, don't worry.

Did you guys watch the same game I did? Taeja was far far far far far far far far ahead all game long, but couldn't close it. Don't get me wrong, Rain did play superbly surviving for so long, but that game I'd argue T should rather be complaining about than P defending current TvP balance.


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

You've gotta be joking. 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?

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

Travel is no excuse since all Koreans does.
But they are much weaker without their coach and trainer.jaedong and flash are the exceptions.

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.

this was a careful dance of two highly skilled players for every edge they could get knowing that one misstep could mean death for them. granted Taeja was advantageous from the beginning but we have seen today that 1-2 storms can eat 40 supply so there was a real chance of comeback.
Countdown to victory: 1 200!

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!!

No, because if you misstep trying to close it you can end like Alive.

So what counters Mass Viking/Cloaked Ghost?

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.
