Goddamn it. Well Maru built to blind counter it and it seems to have worked. The thing with blink allins is that they are crazy deceptive. Nothing stops the toss from just making 8 blink stalkers and taking a third instead, while the poor terran sits there going FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK BUNKERS FUCK. I'm fine with allins being part of the game, but it's boring as hell when on some maps it's the only thing you shoudl do (the exception is soultrains ofc xD) I see what you're saying, but don't you think there's a case for Terran to scout better during the attack? With SCVs like Maru is doing now, or with another Reaper, scan, stray marine, etc
Dunno if the toss has map control with stalkers pre stim you cant do much scouting...at the end of the day it's just easier to make mains without insane surface area (that coincidentally also make pvp vs blink a bit more reasonable, again see ohana)

Zest is like "hmmm im getting back in this let me lose all my stalkers to barely kill one bunker and no units to fix that"
Yeah, I don't think Zest executed that attack to the best of his ability. It seems a lot more punishing to blink up and down the cliffs, snipe some SCVs, depos and army and then blink out. Overpowering a bunker works only when you get critical mass.

OMG, I cannot believe what a retarded decision that was. Send a protoss on that map to do the SINGLE MOST PREDICTABLE build in the history of the game. No build is that strong that it will win if the opponent knows with 100% certainty that it's coming, the opponent will always just prepare for that and win, and that was exactly what happened. I cannot believe the stupidity -.-
Send Flash next time please!

I love KT but seeing Protoss get smashed over and over is BEAUTIFUL.
|
Maru is fantastic. Almost not sad that getting Zest didn't pay off at all, awesome play.
|
Maru would have never won that if he didn't scout. Nevertheless his play was excellent today.

Goddamn it.
edit: or hope the toss player fucks up lol Yesterday Babyknight came back from a 40 supply deficit in PvP against HasuObs using solely 6-10 Blink Stalkers.
The funny part is how the mapmakers agreed that it is totally bad if reapers can jump into your base from anywhere, hence they only made the double cliff with only one small edge, but they don't seem to see the same problem with blink stalkers.

some not so great control from Zest and warping in those 6 sentries was really strange. A couple sentries maybe but using all of your warpin round on sentries when you have to hit the timing is ;o Maru also knew it was coming before even scouting it as it was a bit obvious, still would could have gone better for Zest if he didn't make some silly mistakes :3
|
That was one of the most entertaining micro I've seen. It involved controlling units from all sides, really intense. Well played, Maru and grats to Jin Air!

Sending out Zest was such a silly idea, he's too weak. Yeah, Stats would've definitely been better
I think TY or Flash would be their best bet.
