Protoss goes 3 obs usually, not five, in PvT. More cuts into colossus production.
Well I haven't said you have to have then. Not that long time ago it was a good practice to use spotting pylons or zealots. Don't know why pros abandoned this.

I'm sure that you can beat him...

Good game Classic. Hoping for a Classic win on the next game

That was a long game into the lamest possible ending ever :D

Classic is really solid in long games. sOs shouldn't let it happen.

I think you only do probe+pylon scouts around your base when your tech isn't the usual route and which has cut into obs production, like phoenix/coloss openers, some Blink ones and some Oracle ones.

He should have noticed some medevacs are missing or he should have an observer there, or at least have a pylon on his edge of main so he could have seen that drop few seconds earlier(I don't think it would help that much though). Drops are fast and strong, but they are not that strong against P. Against Maru I would dare to say that go for 1/1 from 1 forge and go stupidly rushed storm(splash doesn't ask about upgrade deficit) or go more blink stalkers or double robo(so you can have those observers and colossi at the same time). You have to survive mid game. Yes hero used hallucination because he can't afford to make 5 observers from the robo. It's funny how you know how to beat maru and you are not a gsl champion. When you say it sounds so ez why do people keep pulling out this stupid argument? "You didnt win a GSL, you cant be smarter than SC2 Korean pros." Korean pros are not really smarter than other people, they just have better work ethic And bet Korean pros don't spend so much time balance whining
Korean pros balance whine so much haha.

I'd balance whine as well if it could make me win 200.000$ a year

I think you only do probe+pylon scouts around your base when your tech isn't the usual route and which has cut into obs production, like phoenix/coloss openers, some Blink ones and some Oracle ones.
Hmm, not sure I understand you properly - year ago(+- few months) it was a practice to use spotting pylons in edges of the map so you can have observers on better positions. Nowadays I don't see a pylon on the edge to spot some random drop unless it's a proxy SG/DT. Do you say it's not used now unless you go some weird shenanigans?

They have a larger stake in the game anyway, so it makes sense then if they do balance whine a lot. At lower levels it doesn't matter so much, only to your ego if you think you lost a game because of imba drops

at least the way I've gotten it, and I might be wrong, you only use pylons and probes when you haven't gone a generally standard build. That is, defensive Blink into Coloss, Coloss into Blink and so on. Builds which are more gas heavy or offer less time to build obs due to an SG or Dark Shrine or heavy Blink pressure eats up the gas so you rush to coloss without more than like one obs or so.
