Tell me then how can you keep up with a toss getting a fast 3rd base while being safe with MSC and adepts or by simple really cost efficient harass while getting the 3rd?

c'mon "simple"..... we aren't gonna get anywhere with that

Lol, like why are you playing up a "bad boy image" when your job is being a huge nerd? Who does Parting think he's fooling? Certainly not Smix, haha.

Drinking makes you a bad boy in your home country?

Plenty of people work with hangovers anyway. If he wants to drink and reduce his own chances at winning that's his own problem.

You can 'figure out' how to micro against 1-4 Liberators. You can't 'figure out' how to micro against 10+, you can either overrun them with vastly superior numbers, go around them or not let Terran get there to begin with.


Or make a tech that is just good against them as we have seen from many Protoss by including tempests.

Which is exactly like telling Terran to make ghosts and vikings to counter high templar and Collosi. It was theoretically possible, but much easier for Protoss than for terran in execution, and eventually terran gave up on that style altogether.

Shame too. The moment TY starts looking better the brackets put him against PartinG. And then he does pretty much everything that works in LotV and still gets shut down. Didn't even accomplish his dream of finally beating PartinG offline.

Dreamhack? Dream fucked.

Sick series overall.

If you took this all the way to the end, you realize you die and nothing matters. And thus what you do now is actually the only thing that matters.

Well, at least the second and the third game were excellent.


They were pretty good indeed. Once these players stop making blatantly bad attack decisions LotV could really top HotS.

I don't get this attitude, in general games are best when both people make these kind of mistakes.
When you have the situation that people know perfectly what they are doing and the game doesn't force mistakes anymore it gets stale and boring.


Gumiho vs MMA,
Gumiho vs Losira
Taeja vs Inno
Taeja vs Life
Ryung vs Flash

I could go on, but there are games that are perfectly played and incredibly exciting.

I doubt these games very "perfectly played". This includes micro, macro and decision making.
Errors in gameplay (if on both sides) lead to outplay potential for the other player. Which makes a game exciting and good.


Id say they were.

Well i disagree then "Perfect play" leads to snowbally gameplay in an asymmetrical game imo.
If it is too easy to play 'close to perfect' then the better race at any given time will just win right there. Which would be horribly boring

Are you for real? 3CC vs protoss was one of the riskiest builds for terran to do in hots.

He's not trying to fool people - anyone that has met him knows he has a taste for alcohol. I'm not saying he got shitfaced last night, but if Parting says he had "a bit of alcohol" then you can be reasonably sure he did. Koreans often tend to explain why they (think they) performed poorly - even after they win.

Besides, Parting is one of the more popular SC2 players. Like it or not, he is closely attached to how people view him. If his image is being the slightly cocky, slightly care-free guy, then that's going to be what he plays up. He's an entertainer.

Parting played very well, and I wouldn't even call this an all-in. He pulled Ty apart by alternating between the natural and main with constant warp-ins and blinks. It was just great control and had he actually just blinked in like a true "all-in" he would've gotten wrecked.


It was not an all in. It was pressure since Protoss can easily get a 3rd base, upgrades and tech behind that. The problem is that you can just die to the pressure if you dont prepare. You need bunkers, tanks and cyclone(s) to hold off this pressure. Which makes TY behind in tech and upgrades. And if you hold that ''all in'', you cant punish the toss. Pylon Skillcharge, Disruptors and some gateway units are more than enough to hold the counter attack.


I mean, Zerg can do the same thing with Roach / Rav pressure as far as I can tell. The answer is always information, preparation, and execution. Ty's only scout was a reaper that almost got immediately killed. Had he done some type of two base push of his own, he could've hit before blink and done some damage, rendering that pressure inneffective. At least, that's my opinion as a layman.


TY knew/(anticipated) it is going to be an ''all in''/pressure. Why else would he build bunkers, tanks and cyclone to hold it? He made the correct decision. That Zerg can do a similar thing does not make it any good. TvZ is something different, even though it has its problems as well.

Oh please this is a completely tempo dependent statement that requires a settled metagame.

I don't think there's a sensible 2-base push that would have accomplished anything. Maybe something with tanks but at best that means PartinG stops the pressure and just backstabs you with the warp prism while your stuff isn't at home.

Not at all, just my observations as a terran who plays for late game bio liberator every game in TvP.

I'm Terran-biased (despite playing Random) and I loved all of those games (except game 1 'cause I didn't watch it).

My only form of balance whine is how easily Adepts shred a mineral line, mainly because Blizzard nerfed Blue Flame Hellions for the same reason.

Otherwise, I love the display of TvP right now. If games continue to be like that then LotV is looking better than I initially thought.

I would be OK with a small nerf to the adept damage so that it doesn't 2-shot workers without the upgrade but the upgrade would increase damage and attack speed at the same time.
