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

Puck confirmed MLG champion?

If Puck were in the final vs Trap, Puck would get the MLG trophy for sure.

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

Depends on whether Trap or Polt wins here.

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.


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.


Huh what? That was extended series, this is how double elimination normally works.

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?

Most protoss suck vs viking ghost until high gm

Yup that played out exactly like my TvPs usually do (except way higher level)

Commit and deal enough damage with my harassment that I force my opponent into an attack. Die to the attack.

TvP is so frustrating.

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


Getting crushed in a straight out 200/200 supply maxed out fight is not fun anyway

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.

Each with his own skills. Taeja with even better macro and late game army control (maybe best in the world TvP), Polt with his multitask and crysis management. He is just following a plan that suits him.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

a Protoss will get his perfect unit composition WAY before a Terran can max out on Ghost/Viking.

If that wasn't the case the roles between the two races in the match up would be inverted.

Day9 and Rotterdam missing the fact that Polt is only going 2 rax instead of his staple 3.
