It's quite sad actually, seeing Trap struggle like that to even take a fifth :/.
Are we really going to complain about a game where Trap played garbage, it got to the dreaded zerg late game and it was still kinda close?
He played garbage because he threw out an oracle ? Did you notice how many zerglings / banelings were thrown out by being a moved in non-optimal angle ?
One race seems to be much more forgiving than the other one.

The recall into the main with Broodlords outside of it was basically the worst move possible. Luckily good guy Reynor pulled the mothership right under the broods.
The BLs would've been killed by the tempest anyway. The infestors - the real heroes - would've been heavily outpositioned. I think it was a great move - desperate as usual this days in top-level PvZ, but great.

No they won't
I knew I should skip this when I saw who got into RO8 and what pairs were created. Good to know playin other games was more meaningful than watching this, at least they dont get money off me anymore.

How many ling runbys are you going to allow against a guy known for his fucking ling runbys? how many phoenix are we going to throw away right before mutas hit? why micro the probe being attacked by 1 unit when you can just wait for the adept to arrive and lose the probe? fuck fuck fuck
Trap is known for his mechanics, but it's also a weakness of his in important matches. When he's playing calmly, he's one of the more technically impressive protoss players
man blizzard so smart nothing like advertising US drone strikes to an international audience. I'm surprised diablo mobile hasn't gotten an ad. Maybe i missed it tho

As rain once said, Protoss has to play like a machine to compete. the margin of error is insanely small. The army requires the most micro out of any race (yes even terran).
so if trap wants to contend on the front line, he needs to micro like a maniac. good luck defending against every single half supply, high dps unit that travels at mach speed

That offensive recall of despair was funny.
That offensive recall was strategic genius. Just shows how much better Reynor is than Trap.
I'm tired of all this foreigner hate. Why can't a foreign Zerg be better than a Korean Protoss without someone saying they are abusing balance. Why can't Reynor just simply be the better player? Why can't people just admit that Zerg players are better these days.

i've never seen a code S protoss lose the first 2 oracles and phx doing this little damage. Many times i've seen it fended off, but at least the toss kept them for revelations and overlord-clearing. Trap lost the 3 units to 3 queens
Yeah it's even suspiscious, i hope it's just some jetlag/emotions
