Tempest are so stupid and massable because they are an a move unit that shoot air and ground from huge distances. What was blizzard thinking?

Before you say mech is viable keep in mind Bbyong has only been doing it on this map. It might be completely unworkable on any other map, in particular the really big ones.

We've got a GM terran in Dwf here and Teo was a good protoss too once upon a time before WoW ate his soul. Would probably get better patch ideas if they did.

Don't agree with Wolf, I think mech is plenty viable. Feel like Bbyong has *almost* got it all figured out. Honestly, I wish Tempests would go, I feel like they're a dumb unit and shut down too much late game tech in all matchups =/


He needed a faster starport transition, I think if he had a few more ravens and a bigger viking fleet it would've been easy money

Yeah, like I said, I feel like Bbyong is so close to figuring out this whole mech TvP thing. Maybe faster starports and/or more ghosts and a nuke or two as well? Dunno, but I think we'll see more of this. I hope so, these mech TvP games are fun


Looked like that's where Bbyong was heading, just couldn't get there fast enough.

But even then, the Protoss could just switch back into a ground army if he went too viking/raven heavy.

That's why (among other things) I feel assault mode Vikings need a buff


I could get behind this. Makes Vikings essentially Goliaths at that point.

Nah that won't work, Teo thinks TvZ is the best match-up to watch, I don't trust him with my protoss balance against thedwf <3.

If he gets that AA up he still loses to the addition of Templars. Air/Templars wins everything in lategame TvP.

I think the fact that it never gets played shows it's not viable. People have tried to make it work for a long time yet nobody has consistently used it and won games with it.

Bbyong playing it 3 games in a row doesn't make it suddenly viable.

Only in my lowly opinion of course.

ZParcraft had an impact on Blizzard choice to patch the game.

If the caster isn't allowed to make any calls on the game, why even have him casting? Presumably he has knowledge beyond the level of his actual play, that's the whole idea with a commentator


There's a difference between commentating what's happening in the game, and making ignorant statements like "this composition just isn't viable." I can almost guarantee you that Bbyong wouldn't use this same strategy 3 times in a row if he didn't think it was viable. And if a Code S level player thinks that something is viable, and Wolf says that it isn't, I'm much more inclined to side with the Code S Terran here...


That's fine but you can't expect a caster to act like a composition is fine until it's been proven that it is, and so far Bbyong hasn't been doing that.

I disagree. I think he's very clearly shown that it's viable, though perhaps not polished enough just yet.


How did he clearly show it was viable. Mayyyyyyyyyy be it is viable as a one off suprise. But BByong just tried a double sneak expand into mech and got roflstomped by carrier tempest. That sounds like the synopsis of a plat-game. I didn't see any indications to mech being viable.

It's already not working out for him, despite Parting and Rain opening anti-bio.
Good luck making this work when your opponent just takes 4bases and does not opt to go Colossus/Gateway early.

Teo killed a mass void ray army with pure marine/medivac in a 4v4 we played yesterday. It hurt my soul to see him do this after being such an icon for the wok race
