Are terran players still complaining about TvP lategame? 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. No, because if you misstep trying to close it you can end like Alive. Taeja could have had to misstep pretty fucking hard to lose that. Like, eat Storms like he was a fat kid at an ice cream buffet. The sad part is, no you wouldn't.
I don't really believe that. Taeja owned his side of the map had an army upwards of 170 supply, had a crazy amount of Ghosts, Rain's detection was very minimalized so cloak was going to be very effective.
TaeJa set himself SO far ahead in that game that he more than likely could have closed that game out earlier. He was just playing safe and theres nothing WRONG with that, but I don't believe that Rain was just unkillable unless TaeJa just took the perfect fight.

Lots of stalkers + lots of colossus is very good. If you add tempest, even better.

Max on stalks/colos/tempests and be sure to laugh when his 20k army value evaporates.

Kespa is failing so hard this tournament. Not used to international travel, eh?

Well its kind of obvious, you see Kespa paychecks and they are far FAR ahead compared to non-Kespa players, and im pretty sure with that kind of money you are bound to care more for proleague. A lot of individual tournaments are called off by Kespa players because they have to play proleague (im pretty sure Innovation didnt go to MLG, even thought there was a high chance he would have won it)
There's no proleague in now and a while.
And I don't think innovation had chance in MLG, he mind is just not strong enuf for foreign games

Uh, Alive had that exact composition versus First's Tempest/Colossus/Templar and got wrecked.
The key to beating Tempest is abusing it's mobility and killing off bases.

Scan, kill Observers/Oracles. Cloak Mass ghosts. EMP and kill everything. Use any remaining Vikings to help DPS down Colossus and any Tempests.

Type your laughter into game chat as well to put him on tilt for the next game.

Nice, I'll have to watch that game. Did Alive make any major error?

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
If you think the game ended beacuse of "deathball vs deathball", you don't seem to understand the game at all.
