He's been doing it forever and always been entertaining. Your hate blinds you, my son.


Again, entertaining for you. Opinions are not facts.

Exactly. For instance afaic, I prefer sOs play style to the old mech v mech TvT that people here usually worship. The fact is that his strats are at least quite original.

That is a matter of opinion. I don't see anything entertaining in canon rushing.

And I see everything entertaining in cannon rushing. I even love when protosses cannon rush me!

Although, if these protoss players do their best to end the game as early as possible, and such is not without risk, it probably suggests that they fear mid and late game zerg.


It's just fucking strategy.
You really think that sOs/PartinG or other "abusive toss" like LR love to put it in can't play macro game against Life/Soulkey or other Zerg?

It's called PRE-PA-RA-TION. sOs was always genius of preparation. Nothing weird that he did just smashed 4-0.

Oh please, you can't really compare BW to SC2, BW didn't have things that you couldn't do anything about(Force Fields), or if it had, they were higher in the tech and were quite hard to use because of limited selection, macro, no smart-casting and how BW worked in general.

NO such thing as cheese, only strats. Cheese was invented by players who can only face a particular type of strat , an excuse (the word cheese) for not being able to face 'aggressive" strats.

Found the Protoss fanboy.

This. You play safe? You're far behind. You play more aggressive? You get "punished". You try a greedy approach? You get "punished" too.

Except like micro, right!? I wasn't so good at BW, but I loved microing against Storms, something you CAN'T do against Force Fields...

Sure, and I have a friend that thinks TvZ is the worst matchup in the game. Doesn't mean that people are going to stop saying TvZ is the most entertaining.


Well interesting that you bring that up. Because the way the "most interesting matchup" (TvZ) usually unfolds is through long macro games. Usually the player with better macro and mechanics wins. Other than that it is pretty straight forward and based mostly on skill, not sucker punch moves. Compare it to PvZ and PvT where cheese is much more common.

So if majority prefers games like TvZ (and based on the best games of 2013 thread, they do) I don't understand how they could enjoy sOs type of PvZ as well at the same time.Or how could they enjoy the way HerO played against Innovation at IEM.

The safety against lots of early aggression gives Protoss a lot of options early game. It used to be that Protoss had to play safe just to stay alive, but now it's the opponent that's constrained by what Protoss can throw at them.

TvZ is popular because it's tense the whole game and back and forth. sOs PvZ is very similar, everything balances on a hair's edge when he's cheesing you because if you screw up once you KNOW sOs is going to punish it.

The problem many people have is that toss can kill you with a cheese but usually if you hold it you can´t punish toss after it.
