I was wondering if anyone noticed the 10 hp nerf during the tournament? I did not notice it in my own games, if I didnt read the patchnotes or w/e I would not even have known about the nerf.
This tournament has barely had TvP's though (like a third of the number of the other non-mirrors). It's definitely noticeable if you look at more games. Among other things Protoss's PvT winrate on aligulac fell off a cliff.

I don't feel like the games I've seen lately have had Adepts be that obnoxious really.

And that's taking blink allins into account 2014 blink was the most imbalanced period in history of SC2 so you're pretty much making shit up now Some terrans defended blink 2014. It was imbalanced as fuck, but when a terran actually won it was incredible. With this I honestly don't know what major could have done. walled of better I guess?
It's simple,you just have to ask yourself "Would INnoVation win this?", then "Would Maru win this?", then "Would TY win this?", "Would aLive win this?", etc.
and the answer is always pretty much the same. The difference between good and amazing players can be in very little things that just amount on top of each other in a game and build up a big advantage,

That's why it's brilliant: even if they don't do it consciously, a part of them starts to think it, and in the public eyes if Nerchio wins he is that good, while if he loses it's just protoss being strong.
Zergs and terrans hate protoss so much that they often use this tool to make them feel guilty :D

No offence man, but it's really not that hard. Unless the warp prism is under fire you can keep just warping in every cycle and shade them between patches.
Litterally every protoss player right now can do it with no struggles, and once the adepts get in there they usually always win. That's an ez victory if I've ever seen one.

People wanted a strong gateway unit so not every game is turtle into T3.
It got implemented and now we see action-packed multitasking-intensive games.
But people are still whining because Protoss shouldn't be able to win games.

That's just flat out lying but whatever, salt is going to be salty.

Zealot/Colossus?!? That sounds like a composition that gets hard countered by everything terran could possibly go for. When has anyone ever gone for that?

Maru would've kept up the WM drops and just strangled Neeb's eco. TY would've had ghosts and slaughtered the army with EMPs. aLive would've....well he lost to herO, so I dunno. INnoVation would've just had three times as much bio and steamrolled right over Neeb's army.

Pigbaby beat Taeja handily in HotS with chargelot/colo build with mass observers
Now there are liberators so it wouldn't work

Those guys still lose to this though.
Maybe I'm just salty because Major was playing much better this tournament. His macro and control has been insane. But then nope it doesn't matter how bad Neeb's PvT is, he can warp in Adepts and press the shade key

There are vocal sections of the player base of each race that does that.
If a Terran player beats a Zerg player, Terran is OP.
If a Zerg player beats a Terran player, Zerg is OP.
And so on and so forth.
I don't put stock into what pro players say about balance because I don't trust or believe them.

I think his point was that they lose to guys like Stats, not Neeb.

aLive lost to herO pre-patch and herO is twice as good as Neeb.
Right now he'd slaughter Neeb

When the game was actually more fun to play and watch.

I can assure you that zergs and terrans unite against protoss.
Like on Twitter both zergs and terrans pros would make fun of protoss for being the easy race.
It's partially true, but you don't see protoss and zergs team up against terrans, because zergs and terrans both hate protoss the most and would rather play ZvT/TvZ.

They don't lose to this when it's Neeb doing the adepting.
