A lot of terrans already have and have held blink all ins better because of it. Bbyong didn't, he got stim sniped and with it any chance of holding it. I think at the point when stim would have finished Bbyong was down double the supply of his opponent. Stim is an amazing ability but it isn't that amazing so I wouldn't dare say it could make something out of that. I mean maybe if blink had finished at the time when it was sniped then maybe something could be done if herO messes up but beyond that it seems unlikely. Edit: I meant to say 15 seconds before it was sniped. | ||

Then a popular player gets cheesed out then suddenly people act like the players using the strategy are "those guys".

Dunno if he would have held but putting it there is begging for it to be sniped First blink and first time warp is most important for successful or failed blink. You won't have stim by that time anyway because you are forced to open reaper, then go for a reactor instead of tech lab on your first barracks etc. As someone said, only place to put the barracks would maybe be next to the top gas so rax are deeper inside his base but tech lab would still be pointing towards protoss anyway.Also, what decides the outcome is if protoss will blink where terran has no army and if he will drop a time warp to prolong terran getting into a position. Even with the MSC vision nerf and increased energy cost for MSC they can obviously still do that so blink is still strong and very common. | ||

This is true for many attacks of that ilk but the advantage now is that since it no longer requires a robo and requires more prep by the terran that number was lowered which makes it less of an all in and more in that in between area between pressure and allin. Yeah agreed, it's why I called it a blink timing rather than allin. It seems no matter what the terran does against it, he's always behind after the timing ends or dead. It's not even blink only that causes the problems in TvP. It's the staggering amount of options protoss has from the early to late game and the massive lack of options for terrans. I just wish that there was something that terran could do to punish toss in the early / mid game. | ||

Stim or no stim a competent Blink timing is rediculously hard to hold without taking massive losses. Doesn't help that it's relatively easy to transition out of blink into a macro game. Meh... They should leash it to the nexus, just let it be able to recall armies to it. No more retarded offensive timewarps+this no-robo blink allin shit | ||

I am not sure, which HerO you mean now, I was refering to this guy here: (http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/hots/players/222_HerO ), but doesn't matter anyway, we won't find out by just arguing about it, right? Just saying can't be said that easily, everyone has his ups and downs. | ||
