Terran does have plenty of ways to open effectively to set them up well for a blink stalker defense. The problem is if it's actually oracles they're kinda dead. If it's DTs they're kinda dead. if it's heavy eco or tech based play they're pretty far behind unless they can work wonders with a counter attack. The way that top terrans play it right now is the best way, they just still can't muster a decent winrate against it TT. W/e I'm a zerg player so lulz at your struggles other races

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

Nah I think it is pretty even with the Broodlord infestor hate. You just think it's more because you like protoss.

No, it was never this bad.

I disagree but to each his own.

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.


Well the even simpler alternative then is to just adopt the Terran WoL mentality and just 2 rax every game.

i would if they didn't have that "nice" msc.
Countdown to victory: 1 200!

This year we have had 7 protoss and 1 terran in Premier tournament finals.

It makes me mad.

Also, would you tell the people of Ukraine to grow up because they are whining at their goverment?

Now that's not fair -- one is a systemic problem that the population as a whole has hated for years now and are voicing their opinions to change the system, the other is the Ukraine gov't.

terran is at least not a complete mess designwise (most people love TvT), and zerg doesn't revolve around the idea to use one of 15-30 different gambles to win, so both of them at least have some merit designwise.

I hated BL-infestor way way more than the current state of the game. But then again, I really don't like Zerg ;D

Well i'll be tuning in to the finals tomorrow love me some PvP between sOs and herO. Can't wait!

And once again, I think TimeWarp should be made an upgrade at the Twilight Council. It's so strong early on and would nerf blink without messing with the blink micro of the cooldown. Because there is no other unit besides Phoenix that give Protoss the mobility of keeping up with medivacs and zerg stuff. But I could handle whatever at this point because I hate seeing games that end like that as well TimeWarp as an upgrade hope people will chant this to DK lol

This is actually awesome suggestion. Although I would say it should be on cyber core, but whatever...

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.


Possible to make only marines out of barracks then use gas for tanks ?

No, with 3 rax it's better to get a second lab for more Marauders. Only 1-1-1 openings defend with Tanks.

Yes. Hardcore Protoss players may feel otherwise, but the hate vs Terran and Zerg was just as bad. Hell even a TL admin was bitching about Zerg on twitter at the time of BL/Infestor.

What makes herO different from sOS?


its just a case of sympathy. i like him more. he seems to be a funny guy. but over all: please, no more PvP Finals -__-

It was never this bad. There was anger during the days of GOMTvT and BL/infestor, but there is a level of disgust now that is unparalleled in the history of the SC2 community.

The gamble for CC first is higher than 2 rax cause MsC exists.

Grats SoS, he played very well to get into the finals. So did CJ_HerO for that matter.
Unfortunately I will not be tuning in tomorrow to watch the finals

I don't think it was as bad against terran, but it lasted longer. It was just kinda "marines imba". I think it was just as bad for zerg.

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


Sucks :/ but you cant be spot on every tournament. i didnt see a lot of game stoday, almost only Life vs Taeja and a small glimpse of other games here and there, but to me the games today werent good.
Yesterday was amazing, today was meh, hopefully the finals will be amazing again

I don't care about race. The way the game is decided seems awful. For a neutral spectator, it's just too boring.

The contrast with some games played yesterday is just too big.
