I do think you're blowing things out of proportion, people seem to think PvP is hast he most luck and bullshit yet someone like Zest has an insane PvP winrate vs other Koreans despite PvP's reputation. the problem if you ladder you take risks by every choice. If you play save (meaning not taking too much risk) you are behind from the very start if the opponent plays greedy... you know the struggle :D
Be less predictable then and mix things up. If you are really far behind after doing a certain opening then you're probably doing a risky opening without realising it.

i have no words. I really don't get the stargate into DT thing. You force the zerg into make spores because of the stargate and then you're already detected BISUUUU oracles don't kill overseers I think it was to use them defensively actually. As in that Coda game. yeah you kill the slow overlord with sairs and then can handle a hydra bust, but the key is to snipe that detection. And you force spores on top of that as well. I wasn't discussing BW DTs ; ) I meant why sOs made DTs in this game even after he had forced Spores.
I thought we were discussing a hypothetical SG/DT macro build.
I know BisuDagger does the neo bisu in SC2 because he's hardcore

Well, with a panel of two games, I can conclude that hallucinated archons > guardian shield in this situation.

why armor and not shield upgrade? shield is stronger than armor vs light units (lings, hydras, mutas).

But it immidiately gets frustrating, more then a normal loss, when you lose JUST because of BS. I hope you understand my frustration I definitely agree with your overall sentiment tbh. I think if we saw many more games like this I would find it quite annoying too. But as I watch SO much starcraft... throwing SoS or Has in and expecting the strange cheese and balls-to-the-wall gambles changes the pace up enough from the typical 'macro game' that I guess I just try and appreciate it for what it is.
thx  I sometimes feel so alone here with that opinion.
Since a lot of ppl left because they couldn't stand it anymore ( I know as a fact some longterme TL forum members who stopped playing the game because of the versatility)

DTs have use in the game beyond your opponent not having Spores (whether its through luck, prayer, or skillful deceit). On Coda sOs won the game with DTs by trapping Solar's army between FFs and DTs, sure he didn't have an Overseer but sOs had his Stalkers in position to snipe any that tried to join the right.
