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.


1-1-1 is maximum yolo yes

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

The reason herO lost MSC was because he was distracted by Polt's run by. It was the correct response invented by Polt.

I saw Welmu stream today and he said that a 1 gate FE into the gold base can sometimes hold even a proxy rax.

Dunno if herO knows this or if it's even true.

That's true only for the modern version of blink PvT play, the original version done from one base was very much all-in. Only the two base variant transitions very well, especially since there is guaranteed damage to Terran in it, even if defended.

Polt just shouldn't have been out on the map with either group. If he consolidated his army at home and made more bunkers he could've held the blink.

At least when you defend an immortal sentry all-in, the Protoss is in a difficult position. Defending a blink play just means you get to go into the late game on even ground, which is Protoss favored...

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.


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

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


You can't have medivacs in time for blink. If you meant, you need to buy time until medivacs are out with a bunch of bunkers, yeah I guess you are right, but you will never have medivacs out in time.

I don't think blink builds are overpowered but I am extremely bored seeing these games constantly


2 base blink is still really good cause you can play a macro game if you don't kill the terran. It's really too map-dependent to call overpowered though.


Yeah but there are 3-4 maps in the pool where it is incredibly strong (Heavy Rain, Yeonsu, Frost kind of, Polar Night kind of too)
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

See, Blink is still pretty great.

10 pool isn't a possibility any more, so whats the one cheese you're looking for now to finish off the tournament in the most rage inducing way possible for the opponent?


If it's TvP the Arthur Gold base gateway all-in.

If it's PvP just 3 gates win the game.

Arthur's 1 base blink all in vs 2 base terran would be more rage inducing I think

Much like you cannot transition out of a 1-1-1 Puma never managed to transition after it was nerfed

and then lost his OC lol...

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

I said it didn't do ENOUGH damage, which is a big difference. Considering the big chunk of army he lost earlier, and then losing a bunch of his own SCVs, that counter attack basically needed to do crippling damage in order for it to be worth it, and it didn't.

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.


Personally, I hope not. Besides, after the last patch he said they were going to let PvT be for a while so that patch changes take effect. From recent AMA, it appears that SH and PvZ/TvZ is top on their list of things to "look into".
