Your heart is blacker than your turtleneck.


And then both players proxy 2 gate each other 3 games in a row before going full Has cannon rush in game 4. Trap wins.

I feel like there would be a game in which they relocate to each others thirds and went for tempest rushes

I keep my fingers crossed for Bbyong, please no PvP finals.

PS: Sorry, I will never use any twitch memes again, I promise.

Trap had the easiest way to the finals though IMO. Really cheering for the winner of Bbyong/Zest now.

Dark is really strong, he crushed Maru. Fantasy looked on point in this tournament and made Rain look like a noob. And Flash only barely lost to him. Probably wasn't as easy as you think.

"easiest" means "in comparison to the rest". The first really hard opponent was Dark, and if I read the comments correctly, he just went full Book?

"In comparison to the rest" is a comparison by name only, not by what actually happened. Trap struggled against all his opponents, Bbyong crushed all his so far under foot.

You're right, but how does that disprove my point now, assuming that's what you're trying to do?

I figured the winner of Dark/Maru would reach the final. So wrong:o!


I feel like the skills it takes to be a good ZvT player are different from what it takes to be a good ZvP skill player. First skill thats different: play Swarm Hosts.

lelelelel.
If you don't want to actually engage the enemy create a wall that prevents his army to do anything.

Forcefields must be the most hated spell in the game :D

I seriously doubt the designer who made it was sane, as it can't be a good Idea to make a game that is about war and strategy and then invent a spell that makes you win without war and strategy (well if you count blocking units it could be called a valuable strategy).
I really don't get so many design decisions about protoss. The forcefileds, the colossus (as an easy to use, High-damage-output AOE unit that needs no skill, I always thought such units shouldn't exist) and the warpins. And the many allins and bullshit tactics possible around this.

They always make me hate the protoss race so much, I don't watch the games with toss anymore.
While I understand it takes skill to use all these abilities to the max, Blizzard knows from the very early days of sc2 that there is a lot of hate about all that and so many people are frustrated because of these abilities.

I don't understand why blizzard doesn't want to change that 2/3 of the players are frustrated with the game. Of course every race is a little bit frustrated about 1-2 things about the other race (Fungals or Widow Mines) but with protoss there are SO MANY things to get frustrated about. I really don't understand why that can't be changed. Propably because Protoss would be less a technical race and more a mechanical, but this would make playing and watching it more fun. Like: having more powerful gateway units but not being required to have so many powerful spells.

And yeah, I guess I am salty, since this guy killed 2 of my favorite terrans with bullshit and stuff that make me mad about toss (because they seem to be easier to execute than to defend against) and now also one of the best zergs.
Allins shouldn't be THAT strong, srsly. And from a failed allin in the beginning you shouldn't be able to come back like that.

And yeah, I do understand that Trap played phenomenal, he wouldn't be able to beat Flash, Fantasy and Dark if he didn't.
Still, I hate these abilities, I wished Trap showed some phenomenal macro games without all that stuff.

Reported for insanity.

there was only twice that PvP was amazing and that was MC v herO at blizzcon and HuK v Naniwa at MLG Winter Championships


I'm guessing you didn't see Zest vs sOs in proleague, or his games vs rain in GSL. The guy makes for great PvPs.

Also PvP is just a great matchup in general and I will work my dark magic to bombard everyone with PvP until you acknowledge it.

it's just fucking horrible being a zerg at the moment because it feels like you try your hardest to stay alive just so you can make swarm hosts because nothing else really works.

Trap wins if he plays Zest.
Bbyong i think beats Trap if they meet.
Btw the prediction for the Top 4 before this started was Cure vs Innovation and Trap vs Maru
