He was compared to some patchterran whose form declined after 2011.

Whyyyyy do Terrans attack up the ramp when there's a perfectly exposed 3rd?


Because if you don't kill the protoss army you lose the game. Giving them more time to make units/get upgrades makes the attack less likely to work.

is killing the third and pulling back actually that bad?
you already have all the tech you need for the late game and the protoss is crippeld until his third is rebuild


Yeah, since you max out before toss your supply advantage is at it's biggest as the attack hits.

Even if he has lower income than before, your own income is abysmal since you have 40 workers in your army. And you can't produce more until you fight.

Also sometimes storm finishes, which is a big game changer.

No terran seems to want to go to lategame lately

Lately? More like ever, with the taeja being a notable exception.

Polt.

Polt doesn't play late game. He somehow finds a way make the mid game last forever.

Hack did it this week against Trap. And Polt did go to super late game against Jim in WCS.

Why do Terrans still pull SCVs against Toss? I mean, your SCVs absorb one volley from the Colossus. It's never worth it. Why do they do it?


Because they're afraid to go lategame.

also, what the fuck does "Its never worth it" mean?
TvP scv pull is one of the storngest strategies terran has and dominated the matchup for many month.

you can't go lategame vs Toss. Even Blizzard agrees that its "slightly protoss favored" (in other words imba) but they don't seem to know a solution

you already have all the tech you need for the late game and the protoss is crippeld until his third is rebuild


yes because imagine if the protoss is teching to storm or whatever and gets it while you bang the third... your scv pull is officially screwed. repeat that with any upgrades or major tech... when a terran is scv pulling he is on a timer.


Also terran gets all its tech really early, lategame terran is about ghost/viking and that takes much longer to build than templar/colossus
