Nothing was "donated". it was a very poor attack Define -poor-. Parting gor 40 supply of units dropped in his base and has nothing to defend close by. Still came out ahead. Flash's unit positioning was sub-optimal. He clustered his army between buildings, letting a storm catch them nicely. We're talking about the stim push at the natural, not the quad drop. but didn't he have to attack? i mean he had to try and take advantage off the failed oracle, right.?
Yes, I think his 3 rax stim attempt was not bad. Unfortunately, the failed Oracle can still scout it and PartinG prepared accordingly... One sentry + Zealots. But Flash should have won without the quad drop disaster.

zealots feel just soooo scary in large numbers
gg hots introduced the solution! Silly terrans don't understand. No it is Blizzard who doesn't understand that you can't go for bio, medivacs, ghosts, vikings and hellbats, upgrade all those units etc. + hellbats have bio tag so they would get destroyed by archons and they can't be microed out of storm. Terran has a counter to mass chargelot only in theory but it is not really possible to use them in actual scenarios. You can go for hellbats like ForGG does but then you must skip ghosts. Or go for ghosts but then you can't get hellbats as well. And ghosts are still much more important to have. That is the reason they are trying out Widow Mine buff. Yeah I know but that is again an early-mid game change, a way to maybe contain protoss on 2 bases a bit longer. WM won't work once colossus numbers get high and that is exactly the army protoss will have in the late game.
I agree, its time they did something do terran lategame, bring back carpet EMPs by buffing EMP radius for example.
However what I can gather from David Kims reasoning is that he wants terrans to be desperate to kill protoss in the midgame because it creates games of constant aggression (and infinite frustration for terran players).

Yes. But he couldn't. That is exactly what frustrates terran. Compare this to the game where TY's proxy factory failed. He was miles behind. Nothing wrong with that, but same should apply to protoss but it doesn't, even if you rush storm after failed proxy.

He could have gotten a third or fast tech and punish the Protoss with that. Not everything works against anything, and fast pushing does not punish a 2base Protoss most of the time. Even more since YyapSsap put it like "whats wrong with TvP", I'd rather say that's one thing that is "right with TvP". You can't just emphasize on a small lead with a kill guaranteed timing as Terran.

This style of casting really annoys me. They only bother to actually talk about the game when a fight happens. There is plenty of crucial things happening but they just talk about coffee?

That is the problem terrans are complaining about. Flash deflects proxy oracles and yet, he cannot go across the map to trade efficiently because of PO. That is a risk/reward issue. If terrans go mass hellions in TvZ and get deflected, zergs will just ram roaches into the natural.

Don't try to be reasonable. You should realize by now that it's not helping. It's like the bl-infestor era, we have to endure the balance whine, focus on the cool things and wait until it's over. Too many people already got their mind on P op and see it in every single game (even if the Terran made huge mistakes) and sadly nothing you say will change their minds Wow. Hahahah. Apparantly going for cheese without A SINGLE KILL is fine, as well as leaving your main completely undefended against 40 supply of units. Indeed, no mistakes from Parting!
That's exactly what I meant...
I didn't say that Parting made no mistakes. Your answer is exactly what I was talking about. You took only that single thing out of my post to complain some more about Protoss, because that's the only thing you see

He wouldn't punish protoss in any way if he did that because protoss can and always does get a later third and Parting already had storm out. At best they would be even. And we are not talking about fast push not doing nothing to a 2 base turtle protoss, we are talking about fast push not doing anything to protoss who failed with his proxy and played greedy in a sense he rushed to storm after that.

Blizzard is already experimenting with nerfing photon overcharge. We'll have to see how much that helps.
