MC threw first though, he could've obliterated him before Tempests were on the field... zzzzz
But it all worked out in the end! :D

Kinda-ish, HerO bought some time with warpins, forcing MC to either defend them first or go completely all in. It's hard to commit to a complete all in attack if you don't know exactly how big your opponent's army is/how he's positioned, etc.

HerO was ahead an upgrade at the time. MC waited for +3 which allowed HerO to get 2 more tempests, but I think the upgrade trade vs tempests is kinda even-ish

I don't know that being ahead a single upgrade is an equalizer versus 4 colossus (while you have none and also no easy way to deal with them), but then again I don't play Protoss so you might be right. :s

An attack upgrade makes a huge difference but I'd take an upgrade disadvantage over 2 more tempests usually
|
If it was the difference was between 3 and 5 tempests that would be a bigger deal. The two extra tempests did help but I'm not sure if MC would've flat out won there

The thing is, a battle like that can drag out. If HerO's warpins do damage and MC attacks then he won't be able to reinforce well. So if HerO cleans up MCs army with his own reinforcements they're even in army and economy but HerO has the better tech coming out.
Also keep in mind that MC only scouted one stargate

That's a fair point, certainly; mine was that 4 colossus can pretty much erase HerO's ground army (or at least the majority of it) in just a handful of volleys, and as such no upgrade advantage would matter. In which case, no matter how much damage HerO's harass would've done, MC could've then just straight up killed the 3rd until more Tempests/air got built.

The second one was cancelled when he made the Fleet Beacon. He might've made another later though. :s

Why does HerO have no army man? He might lose to this. he shouldve been pumping immortals

Terrible engagement from MC...two Voidrays on their own against stalkers, the other two attacking the Nexus...

Sweet game by HerO, I'm starting to like this blink opening after all. It does build order lose to a 3gate pressure though D:

I love watching these two cast PvPs given that they actually really know what they're talking about. Also at this rate they'll be getting plenty of work for the next while!

HerO does some cool stuff dealing massive damage. MC makes a bunch of units. MC walks across the map and kills HerO.

I didn't like the blink/archon bust actually, gotta agree with Rotti
|
MC is just one of these players who have shitty micro and multitask, they just make imba unit and a click them.
User was warned for this post

Second time Hero splits up his army and looses
|
MC is a good player...but yeah the attack was questionable from HerO because even with a big economic lead he is perpetually down 20 army supply I really just don't unerstand.
