Agree with Artosis that SC is not a game of "perfect". Which makes it curious that such a big part of the people who play SC have perfectionist tendencies

I swear every PvZ this patch goes like this. Protoss pokes, does nothing, dies to Zerg who has 50 supply advantage a few minutes later.

It's easier to be perfectionist than min-maxer.

And in game 2 the inevitable ling allin wins despite heroic efforts But yeah, imo there's no reason to do a poke like that. Either go all-in or don't be on the map.

Once more we find ourselves in a situation where TaeJa hates TvP to all hell (although that's probably a sentiment he shares with most Terrans in GSL) and he has to mostly rely on TvP to advance. This can only go well.

It may be (well past) time to help pvz early game cus that looked very stupid.
Maybe allow friendly protoss units to phase through batteries, and possibly even have battery healing provide +1 armor vs melee attacks?

I think the issue is that Protoss build batteries as a reaction to stuff they scout, but the build time is just too slow for that. If you wanted to be safer against the speedling allin, you would build your battery blindly (basically doing a Forge Expand 2.0), but honestly there aren't enough resources available for that to be a thing.

I think a more elegant solution (which would also make Protoss more stable in general) is to reduce Shield Battery build time by like ~8-10 seconds.

edit: also, being able to glitch units behind Protoss walls simply by spam clicking is pretty stupid and should also be addressed.

Hmm, that's quite a nice change. Would make a big difference against that all-in in particular.
I wonder if it could even be a bigger change, like 12-15 seconds less, but only if the battery is built in range of nexus? (to prevent buffing all-ins that make use of the battery).

Maybe but then you get in this weird "Protoss things are only good next to a Nexus" which is a bit annoying.

You should know I'm always all for extra misery on non Protoss

but seriously, early game Protoss is so goddamn fragile right now.

I don't think Protoss early game is fragile against Terran but it's hilariously fragile against Zerg.

Dunno, to me it feels like if you misshandle the first Terran harassment move with hellions, mines or whatever the game kinda ends, and those tend to hit before warpgate so it's really tricky. I agree it's not as bad as against Zerg though.

For a buff that is explicitly aimed at making defense easier, I think that's quite fine.
And shield battery based all-ins are already pretty good

I think those are much easier to handle. You can wall hellions out easily since they can't glitch their way past units, almost nobody has trouble defending mine drops either and shield batteries take care of practically everything else other than dedicated all-ins. Which is disregarding the fact that Protoss can also do stuff early against Terran whereas you can't exactly Maxpax in PvZ.

I mean there's a reason TvP win rates are kinda in the gutter for the last few months.

Zesty plays.


Smooth transition into floating 1k/1k and being behind in army supply as a result. Full Zest.

edit: and then dumping said 1k/1k bank in DTs only. Fullest Zest.

I mean, 1k gas bank for toss at this point seems like a standard prelude to warping 8-12 DTs and killing terran.

Do you know why they have such late upgrades in pro games TvP?

The 1/1 thing with tanks and vikings is a timing attack tbh that's been more common recently. You're not meant to meet your opponent mid-map. But from what I can tell they're late on the upgrades so they have more units faster.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Protoss baneling, with just a few minor downsides!


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...)

It's mostly just the economy and maps that changed and made them usable
Also +10 HP was nice

Also the fact that Zerg has a unit to kill force-fields now. 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


We would just do things Rogue did in 2015 without ravagers.

I mean there has been the occasional great series from him.

But the answer to your question is probably a prime candidate for manual work in a kitchen.

TaeJa's problem is that he always gets to play against Protoss when he's only useful in TvT and TvZ.

Well he just completely misjudged what he could get done on the low ground. He probably thought he could stop the 2nd void ray.

Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

so really small sample size, but it kinda seems like returning terran players are having trouble with protoss? pretty sure Polt quit because of protoss, and Taeja hasn't been doing well vs protoss either, is there something harder to adapt to about the modern protoss compared to modern zerg and terran?

so really small sample size, but it kinda seems like returning terran players are having trouble with protoss? pretty sure Polt quit because of protoss, and Taeja hasn't been doing well vs protoss either, is there something harder to adapt to about the modern protoss compared to modern zerg and terran?



Don't know if Polt is the best example because he could barely break 6k on Korea.

Dream looks pretty darn good vs. protoss.
