HTs are so much better designed and lead to better interactions
Yeah I love some Templar-based PvT, ever since way back in WoL Parting was showing some stellar macro games with that style.
I wonder why it’s no longer in vogue, have top Ts just got too proficient at splitting at hitting their EMPs or what?

HM must be so tilted at the end of that game 3, he was like, F it all with those balls.

Probably a mix of the EMP radius buff/upgrade and Protoss players discovering just how insanely good Disruptors are in the matchup

Harstem just nonstop throwing his balls in Heromarine's face :D

Awsome game5 
Harstem with great map awareness and disruptercontrol
|
Year of Harstem! 
I'm glad HeroMarine and Harstem went the distance after the sweeps earlier today. Great to see the big EU names still being vulnerable here and there.

Harstem PvT is grossly underated, the man pushed Maru hard into a late PvT game last year, even beat him in the EU server. About the Disruptor, you need some insane micro to get the surround and to dodge the balls, and massing Libs+Tanks to zone them out effectively.

Tanks suck but besides that you're right

Nice for Harstem ! I thought this was going to be another bop so I didn't watch, going to catch up on the series !
|
Harstem's elation at the end of game 5 was the kind of passion you love to see in SC2. Really impressive to see him place top 6 already. And if he can take down HM, who's to say he can't do the same for Clem? They have very similar TvP performance. I think most fans are gonna root for Clem to face off against Serral or Reynor in the UB finals though.

Because blizzard buffed ghosts multiple times ie free cloak upgrade and Emp radius made HT quite useless
Disruptor is a more reliable AOE and zoning

Heromarine needed to play like Maru in going defensive later in the game when Harstem had so many disruptors. He was a bit too aggressive, and did not set up defensively well enough (no tanks?).
Well played by Harstem!

There is not a lot of Terran, or anyone, currently playing like Maru TvP into late game, maybe other than Reynor off-race. Most Terran playing TvP with momentum, using mass Bio army to take good fight and ultimately crushed Protoss army before reaching lategame. Harstem army of pure Stalker/Zealot and Disruptor counter that style very well as long as he can track down all the side army drop from Terran, which he did in this game.

Oh, I agree, but I'm saying that what Harstem did was a full-blown counter to what Heromarine was doing. He needed to sit back, build tanks/libs for defense, and start building CCs etc. Harstem was catching him everytime he moves out, and Heromarine's drops did not do much at all, constantly dying and losing the whole army. His trades were just not good enough. It didn't help that Harstem had so many disruptors - I think Heromarine needed more tanks/libs against that army.

Free Cloak upgrade got reverted. They got free 75 starting energy upgrade though

It's not great having units that are so feast/famine in the game. They create too much volatility.

Maxpax putting on a clinic against uThermal thus far.
EDIT:
Such a clinic that he made uThermal rage-quit the final game.
3-0 to the Danish prince.

Why do terrans always get so salty when losing to Protoss?
|
Uthermals mentality vs protoss is so massively bad it makes him lose won games
