Yes, and that is why the TvP win rate is like 60% for T, right?
And First just showed how to crush the SCV in game 1 in the first match. So why is it a problem?

Just like zergs shouldn't be able to pull drones to hold off 2 rax?

I know it's done to work, and it does, but this is still really ugly. You could say the same of a photon rush I wouldn't blame you.

Toss getting both COLL and HT before the 3rd is up is like the terran getting double starport AND ghosts before the 3rd is up. Its stupid and SHOULD be punished and taken advantage of.

I've seen some of the games and if I see it right, they are trying to play a more marauder-heavy style so they are more resilient to storms. I forgot who it was but this was combined with hellbats to compensate for the lesser firepower against zealots.
also "having ghosts" is different from the ability to use them when need be. A lot of protoss' have started flanking with HT which is quite taxing for terrans. it also punishes the Low hp and high unit density of Marines.
I don't know if this really is viable in the long run, I haven't tried it yet but it would be a nice change to the current meta.

So how is it like Naniwa's probe rush when it is not at the same stage either.

cheese at the 13 min mark seems a bit far stretched, no?

Uhhh wtf, it's does not look as stupid to Naniwa probe rush LOL. PvT lategame is hard, when Protoss is looking ahead to play the lategame too much than they can die. Worker pulls happen in many strats, these games happen to to be such.

It's units on a screen in a videogame. Nothing is ugly until you decide it is. If I can't hold a photon rush, why shouldn't my opponent do it to me? If First can't hold this SCV pull, why shouldn't jjakji do it? Honor?

I agree with you but it often appears than even if not greedy, protoss barely can hold to a good terran's pressure if they only have one type of AOE after the 3rd is up and running. Well at least that's how looked the TvPs I saw recently when protoss was late to get his second AOE tech.

Well, going both HT, coll before third is basically 'tech cheese' if you will. Basically you are coin flipping that the Terran won't recognize it and pull SCVs. People have to remember these aren't blind SCVs pulls, they are done as a response to the lack of sentries. Protoss players used to have enough sentries to hold off the Terran army forever. Now, because they have MSC as early defense, they are dumping all their gas into tech. If you let them get away with it, they have a pretty big advantage.

This match-up is indeed starting to get uglier and uglier.
I'd rather still see hellbat drops.

I am not blaming cheese in this particular case. I just think this is not pretty, this even looks boring to me. Now you can say what you want but let me think that those SCV pulls are not how I want SC2 to be please. Period.

I don't enjoy it myself either. But what I am trying to explain is why we are seeing it much more often.
