I wonder how they plan to nerf blink push without influencing a) other matchups b) strength of blink in mid and late game, where it is fine and in a lot of cases even necessary to survive.

So 3 PvP finals out of 4 tournaments in 2014, and WCS ro16 dominated by Protosss. I think even Protoss fanboys will need to admit that Protoss domination is equal or exceeded the Terran domination in 2011.

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...

Not really sure how you can say that, there have been lots of amazing games this tournament.

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

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.


TY used CC first to get that sensor tower. Which was the most important point.


Sure that works on occasion but you run into a different problem, you're using a very unsafe build in order to counter blindly only one of the potential all ins Protoss can throw at you.

It isn't a solution that can be adopted for standard play.


I know, I'm basically just adopting Parting's WoL mentality. If you can't beat BL/Infestor then just gamble nexus first every game into Soul Train.

Basically if there is no real good answer, its better to gamble than to play into your opponents hand.

Taeja made a lot of mistakes in the last game. He didn't pull any scvs to protect his bunker in the main. He pulled his army behind his buildings, which made half of his army not attack.
Don't mind me

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.

You can't get Tanks with a 3 rax bio opening.

The point is you need a good scout. A lot of people go reactor first to have more marines because of the possibility of proxy oracle.

Sounds like the Green Wings could be getting a really nice meal some time soon, then...

Normally I wouldn't be overly keen on a PvP finals, but I've become such a big fan of Jin Air and sOs that I'm actually really excited. The storyline is pretty good, I think - either sOs will win two $100,000 tournaments back-to-back (watch out MC!) or herO will win three IEM tournaments. It's not every day that scenario comes up.

Probably not! The Protoss hate is more than the T and Z hate ever was. It's literally every time a Protoss wins now.

Actually, most Terran builds vs Protoss get Stim as early as possible (that is, after a reaper, a reactor and the techlab for stim). Not much else you can do to have it earlier.

If I think about it, life throwing 3 games is what's most sad about this tournament.


He played that bad vs Taeja? thats really unfortunate..

They were good games, but he basically put a clinic on how to play zvt for the first couple stages of the game (not as good as drg ofc) and then suicided banelings/performed run byes doomed to fail/chose ridiculous strategies/all of the above. A little disapointing, as it should have been a 3:0

Imagine if one of these players wins this and GSL. They will make like 150k+ in the span of a few weeks.
