Whining about Protoss or balance will be more harshly moderated from page 90 onwards.

Before making comments on race picking, refer to MLG's rules

why would you want to force your opponent into an attack when you are not ready to deal with it?


A lot of Terran seem to think that throwing away units in 4 places at once constitutes good multitasking and rage when they get rolled over 30 seconds later

I think I am usually though that's the thing.

Or else what am I supposed to do, dance around the map while he sits turtling? The last thing I want is for him to have the exact composition he wants.

Terrans earn all their wins and none of their losses.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

It's not like we intend to do it. We just do more damage with our drops than we thought we would and they think they have to attack TT

Puck confirmed MLG champion?

At least top 2. But let's see if Trap beats Polt.

If we wanted Polt to win, we needed another 3 hour delay.

i just did the math. Polt has to win two best of 3's today while Trap has to play seven. I still don't see the need to give Polt a best of 3 advantage.

Polt should play like Taeja and straight up fight the Toss army with overwhelming vikings and forces. After the mid-game, no more run and gun nexuses



I don't think Polt has the viking and ghost control that Taeja does to make it work. Besides, Polt trades so often he never has enough resources to get the 20+ vikings and 20+ ghosts that Taeja does.

Yeah that's my issue. If I retained my medivacs I could keep the protoss back to defend their tech but I usually lose them on the way out because I look away and am bad.

Hi y'all - is the MLG final really a bo3? Surely that can't be correct... is it 2 BO'3s?

It's just how double elimination works though, Trap should have won more group games if he wanted an advantage today.

He literally just had to beat Puck and he wouldn't have had to play 7 Bo3s.

If Protoss had their way 90% of the time in TvP, what they want is for Terrans to leave them alone until they can build the perfect deathball and just win with a single massive battle.

Why do Terrans do what we do? Because trying to prevent the Protoss from getting that army is the entire basis for how TvP works. If we thought we could fight against a perfect Protoss army why would we ever bother harassing?

We've (And by we I just mean everyone in reddit raging at MLG) had this argument with MLG since 2010. Nothing will convince them now.

2 bo3s if Trap wants to win. Potentially 1 if Polt wins the next two games I believe.

Polt has the upper bracket advantage.
