thank god there is a counter-plan so i can stop wresteling the fridge now (i suspect that bastard is the first to try something)

Bomber appears to be a reactive player, and if you show the wrong reaction or are simply too late, you die.
So basically Polt is Mvp with better wrists.

He puts down 7 gates, then 30 seconds later he's warping in units. Bomber can't just blindly make 3 bunkers at his nat. What if Alicia goes double forge instead of the gates with really heavy eco play? What if he goes blink? What if he goes DT? Like I said, all bomber could do was pick the most likely scenario and prepare appropriately with a bunker in the main and nat Or, you know, scout. I will ask one more time. Slowly. Scout...what? At all. 7 Gateways in a main. No gasses at natural. Pylons near your base. Nexus? Seriously. Stop whining.
Anyone of those scenarios, you're still thinking blink. Only scout is to scan the army and see the sentry count

I'm sure there are plenty of Alicia fans. He's been around forever.

Bomber didn't scout. I like him, but that was the mistake that cost him the game. Oh come on. It comes down to protoss deciding to do a build order because he knows it is 12 repaer expand or maybe cc 1st on big 4 player maps 99% of the time and the rest is up to the terran. If you manage to scout you have a chance of winning, if you don't you straight up lose. Protoss has little to worry about. Early game should be neutral not favored for any race because it sets the pace for the rest of the game. And the early game TvP is just very unforgiving for terran, reducing the problem just to scouting when you are watching pro level players is such a dumb argument. Even if Bomber went for a 12/12 reaper expo to have better scouting he would still behind against a player who went for a nexus 1st build. 12/12 is not really economical build, especially compared to nexus 1st..... Yes, you can get a better or worse end of a build order in any matchup but TvP is specific because terran is forced to go into 12/12 basically every game, you don't have much choice about it.
With the exception that you can kill a good number of probes easilly, and have a long time of full scouting...

Stop lying. Once I went 4 nexus before gate and a terran had the guts of proxy 2 raxing me. Despite being pretty good at micro (and he not microing at all) I didn't manage to hold..
