Well "losing" to it is a given, if 3 rax bio production, bunkers, mines and stimmed bio can't stop it you have every right to be pissed.
To be fair, Sorry didn't have a bunker on the high ground.
It still seems very hard to hold for most mortals (me)
Maybe without the time warps you can make the hold, with the time warps even Maru and MarineKing can't do it consistently. And that's when scouted. Bunker on the highground just gets circumvented until there is a chance to just kill it because everything is out of position.
Flash has mentioned before that he feels the issue with Protoss is really the difficulty of scouting and the wide diversity of strategies they have..
Think, this game:
That game actually made me angry to watch
Don't remind me of that thing.
I think its a real issue regarding scouting, it's why terrans open reaper 95% percent of the time. There are simply so many ways you can die if you don't scout properly
Nah, the great thing about Protoss all-ins is that they work especially well when scouted.

I can't stress how much I agree with that. There's litterally nothing you can do. Insta-quit, or wait and see your SCVs drop at a rate of one per second and then quit. And it happens freaking often too. One of the several reasons why I think TvP is the most frustrating matchup by a mile...
The other issue I have with the matchup is how linear the matchup for Terran is. There is literally 1 or 2 reasonable builds in the whole entire matchup

You have 3-rax opening or factory opening. One just straight up dies to blink (as seen with Gumiho), the other dies slowly and painfully.

Actually I haven't watched a lot of South Park, there were certain channels I didn't have as a kid I only know a handful of things from that show, like the Canadians, "I have AIDS" and "City Wok"

I know how to beat Protoss, it has always been my best MU, but it's frustrating as shit when you get all-in'd, scout it but can't hold anyway, even with bunkers and all. I mean, you have map vetoes to get rid of maps that are good for blink all-ins I guess.
