There's no forge opening as protoss that doesn't put you behind if zerg doesn't early pool. So you might say that protoss always has to gamble a bit vs zerg with the openings.

or he could just go gateway first


Then viOLet can gamble on a 3hatch before pool (like he did successfully this game).


I've always wondered. Naniwa called Duckdeok a coin flipper, but when he did it himself, he called it mindgames. What is the difference?


The difference is that PvP is about flipping coins and you can flip them responsibly or carelessly.


But how would we ever know the difference when the results produce the same effects?


The difference is higher variance with irresponsible flipping.


But given the same time periods, they both have extremely similar PvP winrates and even though Naniwa has a higher winrate that can be easily explained with the fact that he also had much softer opponents than Duckdeok.


That's because Korean coinflips are more refined, whether they're responsible or not. There are harsher counters with Korean coinflipping but it also allows much better defense vs non-Korean coinflips (because these are imperfect)

Another nice quote by Grubby:
"Let's evaluate if swarmhost will maybe become a problem to the metagame in the near future."

It's pretty bad if even Grubby is unhappy.

Nop, he's streaming his ladder. He met a Zerg, he had 200 of army and managed to lose because he lost his patience.

He complains a lot about this MU during this game.

Haha "I got the sickest army possible, but what should I do?"
Story of my Terran life, everytime I try to kill protoss, even when I am miles ahead (upgrades, bases, army) and he gets 2-3 good stroms of
Haha so much fun, when he said "Thx Blizzard, for the great lategame matchup, I am sure I could have done some things better, like Zealot harassements etc" pointing out that there is a limit of what you could do against the opponent.

As long as Blizzard says game is balanced if winrate is approx 50%, there is no reason to talk about it anymore, cause if these 50% are reached with different effort or game understanding... well we know where this discussion would lead. Glad to see even polite Grubby getting mad

I like to add, that after the fungal change, lotsof zergs said, that fungal is now useless...

Nop, he's streaming his ladder. He met a Zerg, he had 200 of army and managed to lose because he lost his patience.

He complains a lot about this MU during this game.

it really IS frustrating, if it isn't possible to break an opponent although you have 75% of the map and ressources, but there are spells, preventing you from the win.
He coulnd't have won that game with the composition, he would always have gotten pulled by vipers or fungaled to death. He lost his army like 5-6 times. And carriers, void rays etc arent cheap enough to remake them forever, he was running low on gas (had "only" 2k left in the end) while the opponent just had to rebuild energy.

Before I uninstalled Hots recently, I really said to myself it is just me who isn't good enough, and I need better engagements, better micro better this and that and I will be fine vs Toss again (as Terran, playing random these days).
Was on 6 bases, toss on 3, attacked from different angles, EMP (didnt hit enough I guess, but wasn't possible better for me, got stormed, feedbacked etc) had vikings in the air vs colossi, upgrade lead, etc. splitting my MMM on the ground, controling medivacs spererately so they keep healing.... After building up the game and sniping toss bases throughout it all the time (without losing anything) for 20 mins, it came down to this, I lost. Storms, Lasers, Chargelots... and then he just walked into my base (which i coulndt hold although I had like 8 Bunkers ready). left a very happy oponent behind. Rewatching and analyzing the replay showed me: could have done it better if I am a pro, but I am not. Checking the stats at the end showed him having like a third of apm, watching the fight in the end, where i was splitting, pulling, sniping, emping, focusing etc and he was basically a-moving and dropping good stroms...
Dunno I feel for everyone who has these engagements in sc2. doesnt matter which matchup. I am not saying something is imba, just a pain to play and to watch sometimes.
And it is frustrating to watch Tournament these days: I like all the matchups with terran in it, dunno, maybe because I started with it, or it is the most action to me, even TvT sometimes. And now there are less and less Ts and small spellcaster armies win the whole time. Balanced? Yeah ok it is maybe, but not so entertaining to watch as some good old BW games or the best Matchup IMO the TvZ
