I think SKT's players are less streaky than MVP's, and if MVP's players show up in their right form (which they sometimes, though rarely, do), I don't think it's too far-fetched to see them take it. Dream is notorious for sometimes just kind of "getting it" and beating whoever the fuck is in his way, much like Gumiho used to. Parting's PvZ is about as reliable as DRG's ZvP which is not at all, which leaves Super to take on soO (who hasn't been particularly impressive after his GSL run) and Shine to take on Soulkey in the latter's by far worst match-up. | ||

Soulkey's ZvZ is kinda random but he has a really good winrate in the match-up, so he's the clear favorite. Let's wait and see, maybe MVP does surprise me. | ||

Rain > Dream (Dream's best performances have been in preparation-less tournaments like GSTL and IEM) soO < Super (Super is underrated. soO is overrated.) PartinG < DRG (I love PartinG but he often just looks so clueless against Z in HotS. I am betting DRG recaptures his form from the last WCS KR U&D where he effortlessly destroyed Squirtle and Trap.) Soulkey > Shine (ZvZ is very volatile but there is a big skill gap here. I'm a big TSL fan but Shine has always been one of the weakest TSL Zergs) Ace Match: Rain > Super (MVP's big money guys lately have been Super and KeeN; since the latter is not playing I think Super will come out. And I think SKT will fall back on Rain with FanTaSy not playing. Match is tough to call but I've liked Rain's PvP recently.) SKT 3-2 That said I think this is a close one and even a 3-0 either way wouldn't shock me. | ||

The fact is Rain screwed up as well. Warp gate, late expo, letting Dream having full scout of his base etc. The blink with MSC and time warp, especially on such blink favored map leaves so little room for mistakes for terran player and a lot of breathing room for protoss. So yes, while you will always find some mistakes on terran part, I have never seen terran hold 2 base blink unless protoss screwed completely (like losing MSC). | ||

TvP is in the worst state ever. Protoss now 100% dominates the early and the lategame. If you somehow manage to get into the midgame (10 min push MMM push) the protoss player just sits in his base and laughs because there is no way to stop him. User was warned for this post | ||

He knew how fast his expansion was compared to Rain, and he 100% knew it was a blink ALL-IN. Yet he decided to play super greedy (even trying to get +1 before it hit) and he payed for it. | ||

People who defend blink just focus on Dream's mistakes but in that game. Nobody can play flawless game. I think Rain did more crucial mistakes but time warp + blink mobility and multiple entry points on Yeonsu favor protoss so much. If you want an honest analysis you need to include Rain's mistakes as well. It is probably a 90% win strategy on that map, same as for example Star Station or most likely next season Heavy Rain. | ||

If you try to add siegetanks you cut marauders which are way better at dealing with this build, in particular because siegetanks are fucking useless apart from defending (and you need 2 at least). Putting down too many bunkers mean you cut units, at which point the protoss can just blink on top of the bunker and kill it quickly and proceed to kill yo ubeause you have nothing outside the bunker. If you cut too many scvs you risk falling behind even with perfect defence since you dont know if protoss is cutting probes or not. Rain fucked up. He got scouted, he forgot warpgate, but no... lets talk about dream not building a ring of bunkers around his base. Forget the fact that he actually needs units IN his bunker, must find excuse. Such skill, so amaze. | ||

I can't convince you otherwise, but you're sadly mistaken if you think the only mistake Dream made in that game was not building an additional bunker. Likewise, you seem to underestimate the efficiency of Rain's micro. Not just any Protoss wins in that situation. It takes mistakes from Dream and good play from Rain, and both happened. | ||

It's like scouting a 2rax and going 3hatch before pool. Stop it already and enjoy the game. Lol, making 3 instead of 4 bunkers is equivalent to scouting 2 rax and going 3 hatch before pool? You can't be serious. Dream didn't go for 2 rax fast medivacs, he had 3 rax with addons which is good enough production to defend such aggression. The problem is that the margin for error is so small that terran will lose to that strat 90% of the time. | ||

Honestly that was the most surprising thing about that match tbh. In the state PvT meta is in that seems like the least likely map I'd want to send a terran on. Maybe hoping SKT would put a good ZvP zerg on it instead of a toss? Seems kinda silly but the only thing I see | ||

You clearly overstep and insult me because we do not look at the game in the same way. I can promise I watch just as much SC2 as you and it feels like you feel like your arguments in those threads just "wins" because what you say somehow is supposed to be the truth. When I say that "hey, perhaps that didnt make any sence" you insult me personally by twice calling me stupid. Then you say you didnt, even though you quote it.. I dont even.. :S | ||

Almost every protoss wins with 2 base blink on maps like Yeonsu or Star Station. Yes, Rain is great, but he screwed up his build pretty bad, made probably the same amount of mistakes as Dream, probably even more but the mobility of stalkers+time warp + multiple entry points make it almost impossible to defend 2 base blink. You cant even evacuate the natural because protoss is mining back home from 2 bases. Seriously, saying that blink isn't broken on current maps is like saying 1/1/1 wasn't broken against protoss. It had the same problems - hard to scout exactly what you are up against and tiny margin for error on protoss part. I bet you could find errors in every protoss players defense of 1/1/1 back in WoL but that doesn't change the fact the build was too strong and imbalanced. | ||

It's called adapting Not that anyone does that anymore but you get the point Because one more bunker wouldn't actually be enough. One more Bunker means one less Marauder as minerals are tight in the early game. Also that Bunker needs to be filled in time and if you spread out across 3 bunkers you have not enough units at either point and an intelligent protoss like Rain is able to abuse that and snipe a bunker and the units in it with the help of a timewarp. The best way to defend blink-allins is actually having more units because Bunkers don't do much at all. Dream's mistake wasn't not building a bunker but not being in the right position. If he was positioned better he could have held it. That's really difficult to do though | ||

MSC provides so much vision that you can easily decide where is the best entry point into terran base. I saw so many 2 base blink plays where protoss just blinked on top of the bunker while the rest of the army was somewhere by the ramp. You can even time warp to delay the army or repair even more. | ||

1/1/1s were held after an immortal buff on maps that were specifically designed to discourage 1/1/1s (see Daybreak). Every terran went 1/1/1 on every map that allowed for it and protoss got close to extinct. That's the worst state of balance this game ever had. If blink allins were at all comparable then every protoss would do it every game and it would still have an 80% winrate. Because that's how the 1/1/1 was | ||

Every terran went 1/1/1 on every map that allowed for it and protoss got close to extinct. That's the worst state of balance this game ever had. If blink allins were at all comparable then every protoss would do it every game and it would still have an 80% winrate. Because that's how the 1/1/1 was There were games where protoss held 1/1/1 even before the immortal buff. For example Thorzain vs. MC on Xel Naga. Also, if every terran went 1/1/1 and it was not possible to hold, how come terran had somewhere between 55-60% win ratio in Korea at that time and not closer to 100%. So you are way overexagerating. Also, protoss players are doing blink all ins almost every game on blink favored maps. The only difference is that there are some other good protoss builds like proxy oracle that can do significant damage so protoss isn't just limited to 2 base blink. But as I said, when map is blink favored, you will see 2 base blink in almost every single TvP. So it is very comparable to 1/1/1. Even if 1/1/1 was a bit stronger, that doesn't mean blinks are not to strong as well in the current map pool. | ||

Losing to a superior player isn't choking, if drg choked under pressure he'd have been 4:0d in the blizz cup, he wouldn't have carried his team so hard in gstl for 3 seasons etc. | ||

They started mixing it up when counterbuilds developed (that protoss had to do blindly mind you) Then list the maps that allowed for it and I will show you a game where the Terran didn't 1-1-1. There is the BL infestor era as well, 11-11 era, P death ball era... Doesn't mean they did it every game. And you contradict yourself. iF Terrans did it 100%, then Protoss wouldn't be blind countering, would they? Since they know 100% it is coming... | ||

I was watching the Korean stream, and they are amazing at their job, but there is just no tension in SC2. Obvious outcomes of fights :/ Too many "ah..." let down moments where the casters are trying to hype something up, but it's is already over with or plain obvious what will happen. | ||

Cus he saw Rain getting an expo behind the blink-pressure, hence he figured that lifting his nat into main would put him behind. But he simply couldn't survive against this timing which hits before medivacs are out and defend locations (nat and main) at the same time. Against a normal 2-base blink pressure build, Dream could turtle on 2 bases with a couple of bunkers and 2 siege Tanks and be fine. However, this wasn't a normal 2base- blink pressure build, but an inbetweenber which caught Dream totally off guard. In my opinion, Dream should have played against this like it was a 1 base blink build and lifted nat into main. To optimize his situations, he could proceed to make these 3 adjustments; 1) Cut bio production a bit 2) Get slightly faster Medis out instead 3) Retake expo when 2 Medis are out He would be able to do this since Rain had less Stalkers than in a normal 1-base blink all in. But overall, we can't blame Dream for not adjusting proplery to this build since he probably doesn't have that much experience against it. | ||

Dream saw it coming and I don't see how he did nearly what he could have done to ensure he does not die. That and the delayed warpgate might just have been enough to disturb him and make him underestimate the strength of Rain's timing attack. | ||

In the actual game he would almost have time to get a Siege Tank out, but if Rain hadn't forgot it, it would have been absolutely impossible. Thus, he simply had to lift his natural into his main and put the 2 bunkers that were placed in the natural into the main. | ||

No. In that type of situation you can always retake your expansion once you have 2 medi's out (since he knows Rain invested ressources into a Nexus). As a general rule; when bio units can afford to stim against blink stalkers --> your safe. This is ofccourse assuming Rain hasn't engaged him (which he can't/wouldn't if Dream lifted his expansion in the main) --> his medis would have full HP. In terms of balance, the problem in TvP isn't that builds like this can't be beat. The problem is that protoss has 100 different builds with 100 different variations. And against each build terran has so many ways to lose and always needs to rely on "lucky scouts". If terran reacts perfectly, then the downside as a protoss player is very limited. For instance I believe if Dream had reacted as I suggested, Rain would probably just be 45-55 behind. Given all the ways for Dream to lose that game, that's an absurd risk/reward. | ||

Even if he saw a Robo coming down he still couldn't salvage bunkers as the blink stalkers still can do too much damage by poking at bio units without medivacs. Had he not wasted that scan, he could have afforded an additional bunker or faster medivacs. So bascially the loss in that game came down to Dream being very unfamilar with the blink stalker variation shown by Rain. | ||

I would argue that if Rain did not start making probes with the second nexus, he could have enough stalker a to take on 2 medivacs with no bunkers and time warp on the ramp. Of course, if Dream had perfect information or get 'lucky', he can hold it off. But like you said, the risk/reward is just absurd given that it was a delay expand build. | ||

What are you basing this off? Against a 1 base blink-all in I can (from my experience) always straight up beats blink stalkers with bio + 4 Medis. In the case where the protoss player has 2-3 less stalkers, it seems logical to assume that you only need 2 medviacs to break out. This is ofc. assuming that your maurauder/marine ratio is pretty high (e.g. you have 2 tech labs and 1 barrack without any addons) He scanned because Rain missed his timing and he was wondering why he wasn't. It wasn't a variation, Rain just messed up. I think it would have been too late to put up bunkers after he scanned. Yeh I expected this response, because it is a typical reason for scanning "I am confused what is happening now?" But in reality, its not logical to think like that. You should only scan, if your planning to change the way you play depending on your information. At the time Dream scanned, he wasn't gonna change anything really, and thus it was just a poor decision of him to scan. All this simply comes down to him being in an unfamiliar situation, where he didn't have time to figure out the optimal response. So I feel that Rain deserves some more credit for making developing this type of build. Wouldn't surprise me if he perhaps had studied Dream and knew he likely was gonna react the wrong way. | ||

I am basing it on how blink stalkers work vs medivac bio. Because of the way blink works, the damage/hp is shared and stalkers that don't die is still giving full DPS. So against blink stalkers, it is about keeping up your DPS (ie. marines and marauders not dying). Yes, 4 medivacs will work, but with 2, you have 1/2 the healing and your marines are still dying too quick vs 15% DPS lost from the 2-3 stalkers. Once you lose your first 4-5 marines without forcing most of the stalkers low, it just snowballs. The scan was done so Dream could confirm if Rain was continuing his all in or going into other tech. When he didn't see additional tech, he kept making bio and started another bunker on the low ground. Maybe you do not agree with his response, but it was really a confusing action, he just did see the attack he expected at his timing and he had to see if he needed to keep building army or go more eco to match Rain. | ||

What lost the game for Dream was not pulling SCVs to shield his bio in his main. | ||

The scan was done so Dream could confirm if Rain was continuing his all in or going into other tech. When he didn't see additional tech, he kept making bio and started another bunker on the low ground. But scanning and making one additional bunker doesn't make sense (if that's your only adjustment). Why? Because its cheaper to not scan (and mule instead) and make one additional bunker anyway. What do you mean going into other tech? What exactly is he changing? He was going factory tech anyway at the same timing. All the scan did was that he had to cut bio production marginally + he could afford fewer bunkers after having wasted the scan. he kept making bio As a outlined above, you are going to do the actual opposite after having wasted a scan. In order to afford factory tech and bunkers you have to cut bio production a bit after having wasted that scan. So note that he is going to have less army stuff, not more after that scan. to keep building army or go more eco to match Rain Going more econ? The only real thing he could have done here was to add a 3rd, but there is no way he was going to do that before adding factories anyway. For instance 3 rax --> 3rd --> before factory is just a terrible build regardless of what the protoss is doing. So if your going to reply - Be specific. What exactly would he have changed depending on what he would see. (btw we know he would never ever see a Dark Shrine with that scan since Rain wouldn't place it in that obvious of a position). Yeah, the scan was not illogical at all considering Rain didn't hit at the standard timing; funnily enough, I already noted it in my previous posts, so you should be aware that I have taking this into account. It only helps to explain the reason why he scanned (he was a human being that was confused, and humans makes errors in unfamiliar situations). But that doesn't make it a logical decision. The point still stands - What is he actually gonna do differently after scanning and is that worth the opportunity cost? | ||

But only the one at his natural. If there were no bunkersm blink stalkers would then can poke at the bio units too efficiently. - How valuable is constant scv production (compared to semi-constant) relative to muling? In this situation he wasn't getting a quick 3rd anyway, and if you go 3-rax + starport tech you are always gonna be a bit oversaturated on 2 bases anyway which makes the value of constant scv production less significant. - How valuable is a slightly higher Marine/Maurauder ratio in this situation. Even if Rain isn't commiting, he still has a decent amount of Blink Stalkers. Compare this to the situation where he A) doesn't scan and B) Doesn't salvage the Bunker in the natural, C) Uses the additional ressources on extra bio units. - He was always going to be in the defense, regardless of the scan untill Medis are out (possible exception is extreme cases where he scouts 3 tech buildings or more, but that's quite unlikely). So I assume your talking about building additional bunkers. Yet, the problem is that at that point in time you don't really have excess ressources (after scanning) to afford mass bunkers and medivas with constant bio production. I think the trade-off your thinking about is something that comes 2 minutes later (or so) at the point where he has to consider whether to get a 3rd, 4+raxes (before 3rd) or get additional bunkers (against a 7-gate). But at the time he scanned, he wasn't gona change his infastructure setup in any significant way really (besides salvaging one bunker). | ||

Nevertheless this shows the problem of relying on this type of scan. Like let's go through the options; * Rain adds like 3+ extra gates in main and Dream scouts it --> Dream gets additional bunkers. In this scenario Rain may chose to cancel them, and take a 3rd --> Rain gets a lot ahead. * Rain adds 3+ gates in the natural, Dream doesn't scout this since he scans natural --> Dream gets ebay and just dies to the 6-7 gate timing. * He scouts Robo tech and/or forge. He can choose to salvage one bunker, and produce scv's constantly. But he still can't afford a 3rd for the time being anyway and has less stuff out compared to the case where he doens't scout. * Rain does a delayed timing --> Perhaps Dream could have held it off better if he pulled scv's asap, but he would almost always end up behind. Regardless, your always better off by not scanning. The only situation where he is better off (relative to not scanning) is when Rain gets additional gateways in the Main and chooses to commit to the attack, rather than cancel them. | ||

So I feel that Rain deserves some more credit for making developing this type of build. Wouldn't surprise me if he perhaps had studied Dream and knew he likely was gonna react the wrong way. Actually, 'I am confused what is happening now' is the perfect reason to scan IMO. For example, what if Rain had only made 2-3 stalkers and cancelled blink after his build got scouted and went pure eco double forge HT or DT? Especially if Dream had lifted into his main as you suggested, this would have been a perfectly viable transition and if Dream had continued playing defensively and delaying upgrades would have put him significantly behind. In fact, a transition into DT would have likely done significant damage to Dream as well in this situation. Otherwise I agree with a lot of the things you've said. If Terran knows exactly what's happening, they can react to it and defend it okay (but not necessarily be ahead IMO), but every variation of every build requires a different response so Terran has to know like 100 counter builds to what Protoss can do in the early game if they want to macro... which they're forced into doing, because any sort of Terran all-in working relies on Protoss doing something non-standard. Meanwhile Protoss has a (couple) safe macro builds which can get you to the ~9:00 minute mark without any reaction to what your opponent is doing as long as you used what the build gets effectively, and you can even be reasonably sure you're even or ahead afterwards vs even the greediest Terran builds. Edit: I'm not really sure how Dream was realistically supposed to defend this without maphacks, Rain's building placement ensured that in order for Dream to scout the tech he had to lose the reaper (or spend a scan that early which isn't really an option), and therefore Dream had no way to know what Rain was doing after Dream scouted his tech. Add into that the fact that Rain's attack was significantly delayed due to the late warp gate, and Dream was left completely in the dark and had to just guess at what was happening. IIRC Dream didn't even see the natural Nexus go down. | ||

Actually, 'I am confused what is happening now' is the perfect reason to scan IMO. For example, what if Rain had only made 2-3 stalkers and cancelled blink after his build got scouted and went pure eco double forge HT or DT? Especially if Dream had lifted into his main as you suggested, this would have been a perfectly viable transition and if Dream had continued playing defensively and delaying upgrades would have put him significantly behind. In fact, a transition into DT would have likely done significant damage to Dream as well in this situation. Cancelling blink? No that never ever happens since you still can do damage with your blink Stalkers. So cancelling it after investing into all the tech is just dumb. In the case where Rain goes for Greed, its actually a lot more likely that he is getting a fast 3rd, and the scan doesn't help him in anyway about that. Also I believe it is super unlikely that Dream will ever scout 3+ infastructures. Rain is smart enough not to put infastrtucture that has so much valueable information in an obvious scan location. In the more realistic case where he scans a forge and a robo he still can't move out before Medis are out, so in that case, the scan is premature. So really he should have lifted natural into main. Not scanned (but perhaps kept an scv out on the map). Waited for 2 Medi's --> then push out, or altenratively he could scan before pushing out (a later scan contains a lot more valuable information than this scan which was just premature). Edit: I'm not really sure how Dream was realistically supposed to defend this without maphacks, Rain's building placement ensured that in order for Dream to scout the tech he had to lose the reaper (or spend a scan that early which isn't really an option), and therefore Dream had no way to know what Rain was doing after Dream scouted his tech. Add into that the fact that Rain's attack was significantly delayed due to the late warp gate, and Dream was left completely in the dark and had to just guess at what was happening. IIRC Dream didn't even see the natural Nexus go down. I already laid that out? 1) Lift expo into main. 2) Cut bio produciton a bit 3) Get faster Medis out 4) Reclaim expo when 2 medis are out. Perhaps delay salvaing bunkers untill you get a feeling for whether Rain still is at <25 probes when you attempt to reclaim the natural. The reason he didn't do this is because it isn't particualrly intutive to expect that you have to play 1base for a while against a 2-base protoss. But due to Mothership Core (thanks blizzard), that's simply the nature of the new TvP. But I think when you add up the math, this approach is pretty solid against everything Rain can throw at you (after the opening phase). | ||

Several reasons which they addressed in the format thread and the KeSPA president made mention to it as well. It had to do with restructuring of teams to try and make them sustainable while bringing in the new guys as well. They're trying to squeeze everything in and they want to make sure everyone can compete. It's their new budgeting of the production blah, blah, blah. It had to be done.

Errr I bet you some people would say Protoss have a good advantage late game as well. | ||

Protoss has always had the advantage before the medivacs are out and stim is done since Wings of Liberty. The terran expanded way before Protoss, invests in bunkers, engineering bay and +1, and concussive shells and stim and reactor starport. He stops unit production especially marauder production for a quite a while to get that bay ,+1 attack and reactor starport. None of that paid off....that's so much wasted resources on tech and structures and too little on actual units. He knows the Protoss invested a lot in gateways and his expansion is delayed. Why doesn't he just play more conservatively? Terran doesn't need to get their +1 faster than Protoss. | ||

In fact, a transition into DT would have likely done significant damage to Dream as well in this situation. Otherwise I agree with a lot of the things you've said. If Terran knows exactly what's happening, they can react to it and defend it okay (but not necessarily be ahead IMO), but every variation of every build requires a different response so Terran has to know like 100 counter builds to what Protoss can do in the early game if they want to macro... which they're forced into doing, because any sort of Terran all-in working relies on Protoss doing something non-standard. Meanwhile Protoss has a (couple) safe macro builds which can get you to the ~9:00 minute mark without any reaction to what your opponent is doing as long as you used what the build gets effectively, and you can even be reasonably sure you're even or ahead afterwards vs even the greediest Terran builds. Edit: I'm not really sure how Dream was realistically supposed to defend this without maphacks, Rain's building placement ensured that in order for Dream to scout the tech he had to lose the reaper (or spend a scan that early which isn't really an option), and therefore Dream had no way to know what Rain was doing after Dream scouted his tech.

IIRC Dream didn't even see the natural Nexus go down. You don't necessarily have to scout out the entire infrastructure with scans, but instead you can get valuable information by counting the probes and where Rain uses his chrono boosts on. He could also have made a couple of widow mines and place them on the ledge where mothership core was hovering around. All I'm saying is that I think it's too early to call any map imba. Give more time to the players and let them figure it out. | ||
