Floating 1K minerals as protoss is fine if the terran is doing it too

Yeah I still can not comprehend how DTs like that are thing. I think we successfully found the one bit of Protoss bullshit that is too much even for me.

edit: also Protoss delay their upgrades as well because you kind of have to when you go for a fast third with blink/colossus, so it's fine for Terran to delay theirs as well.

By the way, Harstem went through the VOD and found that creator actually delayed his warpgate research by cancelling it (and restarting) after it was about 12 seconds in.

Yeah sometimes you go tech before Warpgate, but that's usually for Stargate builds. It was a pretty odd build from Creator.

No detection on Stargate was painful for Protoss.

Primarily I think TaeJa just couldn't fathom the idea that Zest would be in the middle of the map with such a big army at that timing. So then he got rolled.

Wow. What a way to lose the series.

It was funny how we all laughed when they introduced blink for DTs. But somehow it took three years for protoss players to realise how powerful it is.

I mean, it took much longer for Zergs to realize Banes are usable vs Protoss (minus some experiments in 2011...)

I can see it if you want to do some sort of 2base immortal/warp prism thing. Soultrain back in the day was the same for example.

Yep, if he just delayed starting it (to try and trick dark) then I could understand it but he actually cancelled and restarted it.... just sad to see.

Yea those were a big deal for sure, but bane drops were never kind to mineral lines.
edit: I went through the VOD, Creator cancelled Warpgate, started a Twilight Council when he had ~150 gas, and then started Warpgate again. Total screwup on his end, it wasn't intended.

It took longer for it to take off than I expected tbh. I guess Protoss for the longest time just had better options so it wasn't necessary.

At least they require preparation in the form of speed-drop-overlords and then also a bigger investment, plus a bit more micro. The really big problem is the roll-bys, which is almost pay X money to achieve Y damage. (with X and Y being constants)

Forcefield use in LotV went down a ton from HotS. True. But maps are so big and the economy so huge that i'm pretty sure Zerg could make banelings work even without forcefield killers. Losing 10 banes out of 70 to bait all the protoss forcefields oughta work
