This Zealot/Immortal/WP build is giving all sorts of hell to pro zergs as well, I see.

It's such a weird build because you kind of need hydras (unless you're Life), and Zealots chew up Hydras. Plus, when you factor in Protoss' ability to decide where the engagement happens, it really seems to be (as of right now) a build akin to the Soul Push, where if Protoss doesn't mess up his micro (in this case, with immortals being picked up and targetting), it's nigh impossible to stop.

Bad crowd in Singapore by the looks of it.


I can confirm that. We're not responding well to the cues for applause / general oohs and aahs, and it feels like most people in the crowd aren't really into it. There are a lot of things going on around the competition venue and that hurts the mood too imo.

Well that and he forced a fight where the zealots were guaranteed to get connections with a gameplan that revolved around a ton of zealot buffer for 4-6 immortals (forgot how many). He has to get credit for where the fight took place. Wish we could get a quick replay of that engagement.

ya, agree. The roaches were eating full zealot shots all the time lol

Not really. No bonus damage. I'm saying he needed more than the ones he had. They only cost minerals and have a long-range anti-air attack.


They are kind of slow. Like someone said, you have top prebuild 3-4 extra queens to counter the warp prism. And if the push doesn't come, you kind of wasted your resources.

spread creep?


Creep is not really a big deal in ZvP. Past the mid game, all Protoss armies will have obs. Plus with forcefields, Protoss don't really mind engaging on creep.

while I agree, having creep could mean the difference between a successful surround or a failed one since the protoss will have to react faster if they are on creep (if they didn't clean it up)


And the Protoss just recalls if it does get to that.

assuming the zerg didn't try to do a ling or roach runby once they left like life does earlier on in the game so the protoss left his MSc at home incase like herO did here(for the last part, not runby) My point? as Heartland mentioned, you're making it seem like it's impossible to hold when there are a lot of factors that come into play to get it to that stage


I am not saying it is impossible to hold. I am just saying that a lot of things have to go right for the Zerg. He kind of has to guess when the timing is coming. Protoss know they got scouted and can just delay the timing. Or they just mind game you and go ahead anyways. The execution is just far easier than the defense. Which was the core issue with the 1-1-1.

He saw the push coming though. My point here is just that Zerg does have a way of microing/fighting Prism/Immo.


You can't start building Queens when you see the push come out, it is too late.


You try to stall the attack and pick off units before it arrives in your base when you face the Soul push. Also, he saw what was going on in the early game. Making two extra Queens wouldn't have killed him even if it was some kind of build that wasn't the soul push, but with scouting gases, the Robo and playing on Polar Night it should be easy to figure out. All I am saying here is that your clear-cut "It's impossible" stance isn't correct. Sc2 doesn't work like that. It's a far more fluid game with a lot more nuance and dynamic than your statement gives it credit for.


Just like the 1-1-1 was never impossible to hold?


Yeah, you're right, it wasn't.


But Protoss sure made it sound like it. And then immortals got buffed, gg.


Stop whining.


Only way to get buffed...


The bumhurt is strong with this one.


Lol, sad zealot fan club?

That's not even an appropriate reference to the 1-1-1. The 1-1-1 really should be compared to a much worse version of bl/infestor (in terms of free wins). Being forced to fight in a small compressed area where zealots out dps the roaches for hits while the 5 immortals aren't focused/cant be is just a twist of that race. It's like being sour about terrans bleeding extra efficiency in small unit situations, mutas or hell to use a sc1 analogy, tanks sitting in a nice position on the ridge between your main and your expo.


It is very similar to the 1-1-1. An early game all-in push that is very hard (especially if the Protoss micros well) to hold even if you scout it.
