Why David Kim?

Can anyone honestly defend her0s ability to go blink without fail in every TvP and win easily regardless of how well it is scouted and countered?

This is why Protoss domination has been the most hated period of Starcraft.

It wasn't scouted or countered.


BL/Infestor was still way worse. At least this is an attacking style and not just turtle up to 3 bases and get invincible maxxed out army and win the game. It's a lot different imo. But hey to each their own.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

Polt just crushed Polt with his slow repair and reckless play. he could have retreated up the ramp and been fine, seeing as the MSC died and he killed all those probes.

Depends if we see another PvP final. I can see 12 second cooldown being a possibility since most people said 15 was too anti-micro.

Polt giving away a good chunk of his army, and then the counter attack that didn't really do enough damage is way more of a reason why he lost lol

The counter attack actually did a good job, it was the lack of bunker repairs + the army donation.

He killed 16 workers with his counter attack and forced warp ins at home.


You can't hold a blink all in with 1 bunker and no medivacs

Right, but considering he lost a good chunk of bio for free earlier, and then lost a lot of his own SCVs, it was not nearly enough damage.

I love blink. I hate blink all-ins.


Blink all-ins is a misnomer. You can always transition from blink unlike say a 1-1-1.


Only if you keep your stalkers


Ah but if you don't lose your units in a 1-1-1, you're still dead.

I would really love to see some stats about the success rate of 2 base blink.
Because it still looks like a build that protoss can use whenever they need a win (providing the map is good for it, and there are at least 3 great blink maps and 1 good blink map in the pool).

and then lost his OC lol...

Just trying to disprove his assertion that the counter attack didn't really do damage.

I actually think that counter attack attempt from polt cost him the game. He could have hold on if these units where at home considering herO lost his MSC very early


Indeed, that said, herO's loss of the MSC was due to looking back at his natural while Polt was counter-attacking. Also, don't forget the loss of those marines out on the map. That was a nice bonus pick off for herO.

If it was repaired then what? He repaired the bunkers instead of the oc and still didn't hold.

Sometimes I think it would help to research concussive shells after stim because it really helps against blink. You can really kill stuff whenn the toss has to pull back during blink CD.

Why do people still think Blink itself is the problem? It's not, not even close.

Polt needs to stop thinking he can get away with 1 bunker. Just make 3 or 4. You have to I guess.
