so much hate in this thread

Well, Blink all-in is really a build I don't understand.

I don't want to make whine balance. I just don't know what I should do against it.

sensor tower.


Not sure if trolling or serious.


I just sigh at people that keep suggesting it.

It's always non-terran players that don't seem to understand how expensive Sensor Towers are.

Who better to teach top korean pro terrans how to play than sub GM NA protoss players? They've already offered several nuggets of wisdom on how to easily stop blink all ins such as " widow mines" "make something other than marines" "more bunkers" and so on.

gods, damn. yea, why not research blink and win this shit? so frustrating...

not even 10 bunkers would've won taeja this game! at least i hope herO will win this and destroy sOs aka "wonderful blink research" into gg.

What makes herO different from sOS?

Nothing. The difference was that Polt was playing Terran vs herO. Taeja's TvP has been sub par at best for quite some time, I don't really know why anyone is surprised.

Oh wait, because it's cool to circlejerk on how stupid Protoss is these days *eyeroll*

Not trying to cause any issues here, legitimately wondering why Terran players don't get Stim earlier? Tech Lab and then a 100/100 upgrade doesn't seem very expensive?

rofl. I'm not watching the finals either, but get real. This tournament has had too many great games.

If anything it's a prime example of why sc2 still has hope.

I don't see it. Overall the games haven't been that great...

as a Terran pro I would stop caring about the follow up and just start to survive the blink safely and just hope to survive the rest later. I wonder if the blink heavy play is an answer to the widow mine change, that weakens Zealots so much. Guess I should watch more TvPs.


As a terran pro I would just 11/11 every game and win every matchup with my outstanding micro that would make MKP look like a bronze scrub.

Sounds like a plan!

Yes.

yeah but if you total the amount of 10k tournaments he won it equals 100k

Pretty cool tournament overall, too bad it had to end this way. Suddenly it doesn't even matter anymore who wins the 100k. :/ Poorly executed Protoss shit still gets free wins to finals, both of them.

All these people saying they aren't gonna watch the finals now. Do you other guys really think the matchup won't make a huge difference in veiwer numbers?


Most mirrors do unfortunately. It's small comfort, maybe, if you are watching it, but at least it's not a ZvZ.

Taeja should have had scvs repairing bunker in main but he still would have lost that bunker (albeit more cost effectively). Tanks + sensor tower is better vs blink I guess but obviously if the game goes longer the tradeoff is that medivacs would be much more useful.

why didnt taeja had scvs at the bunker in the main?
felt that he lost the game due to this


Lets see. At least 3 bunkers to cover Frost. 4 SCVs per bunker for repair. That is 12 SCVs not mining for minutes against protoss that mines on 2 base economy. On maps like Heavy Rain you need 4 bunkers so even more idle SCVs

The problem with blink is 1. you will almost never know how committed protoss actually is 2. you can't know the transition (fast third, teching into colossus, storm, double upgrades - we saw all of it today) 3. if you under prepare you die, if you over prepare - you fall too much behind because of #1

So unless you shut down blink really hard (like Polt did when herO blinked on top of bio on Frost) you either die immediately or at some point later in the game because you will be behind either in upgrades, economy or tech.
At least that is the way I see it.
