The difference is people can give you a several series in BW that are hands down one of the best games ever played, despite being cheeses / all-ins.

ForGG vs Kal on Tiamat (and few other Kal vs ForGG ones, cough* scouts )is still one of my favorite game, the difference between one is, ForGG prepared the meticilous rax build with ring of turrets to prevent obs scout and faked standard play from the front.

Which ensued into 5-8min battle between marine/tank and reaver/dragoon.

And in case of current flavor of the month in SC2's TvP is "oh i have a timing" *bunch scv*. Which again is being copied by several other pros.

People are just angry at the fact that the current highest level meta is such unelegant play. Which relies on bunching your workers before you opponent does something. There is no much *essence* there, if you bunch those scv into storms you die if you bunch those scv before storm you get enough meatshield to push through.

But why is this the current meta? It has to do with Protoss players as much as Terran players. Protoss players in the current meta are relying a lot more on the MSC for early defense and dumping their gases into upgrades and both AoEs options. As many have stated, SCVs pulls have existed from 2010. Why is the meta shifting to it now? In WoL, SCV pulls were pretty much denied by just forcefielding and buying time for more colossi to come out. But since protoss no longer need take many sentries to defend that first marine/medivac poke, they simply don't have the sentry count to stale for their AoE. Give First 3-4 more sentries and he holds that easy.

And why do protoss skip sentries. Because if they can get both AoEs out, the gas spent on AoE is more valuable than gas on sentries.
