Guys actually like this kind of game ? this remind why SC its not the king of eSports anymore boring


^ This... not impressed lol


really? This tournament has been full of great games and you nitpick this to bitch about?

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.


the game was prolonged due to deathball vs deathball and there was a large amount of time of minimal action because of deathball vs deathball

Taeja played out the game very well, but spectator wise, it is still a boring play style and overall spectator experience

prolonged constant action between both players is almost always a superior and more entertaining game to watch


This is like criticizing soccer because there's very few goals and just constant passing.


SC2 isn't soccer


Comparisons, you know. "It's like".

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.

Hence why Tempests transitions are perfectly standard in lategame PvT?


I'm speaking of Mass Viking/Ghost in particular. No Marines, no Marauders. I've played against it, and I've never won.

If Terran reaches that point, Protoss dies.


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


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


You take a defensive posture. You add cannons. Watch HasuObs ultra-late. If you lose in the defensive with lots of colossus/tempest and stalkers behind cannons and few hts, you really are doing something very wrong.


Nuclear launch detected brah. Kills dem cannons.


Jesus shut up. Statistics favor Protoss over Terran and besides Taeja the Terrans got smoked everywhere all over the world. Protoss dominates all the ladders on highest level. Rain made huge mistakes here so if you want to base that series as balance test "BRAH" jesus christ.

I cannot believe people like you but on the other hand yeah, they exist.


Wow. Relax man, don't rage. And I'm not Jesus, I know it seems like that, but I'm not that good yet,

Anyway, Rain deserved to lose that series he didn't play well and Taeja played really well, but it had nothing to do with this discussion. The discussion we were having was about Mass Viking/Ghost, because someone said "UltLate game is always protoss favored." Again, it had nothing to do with the series.

In my experience, Mass Viking/Ghost has no counters. Sure you can turtle up, but if you don't have the bases on your side of the map, then you're in trouble. And nukes force engagements and constant movement and if the map is big, you're in even more trouble.

Fortunately, it basically never happens. I find PvT to be balanced, but incredibly boring to watch since defensive play is far superior to any kind of aggressive play.

Why? It was BM as hell and clearly a balance whine. Also you're in TL, the least you can do is respect their players a little bit

Nice excuse.
I bet Rain has a nice $40,000 salary/month to not give a fuck

Well, Parting has around 10k salary, and i doubt he is the highest paid, im guessing Innovation, Flash, Soulkey and Rain are winning A LOT more

Technically EG-TL property now.

So, I guess joining EG-TL makes him forget his 8 years of KeSPA training regiment.

Good one.

Lol. Get a clue lol...
