I don't tune in to hear 4 Protoss complain about how they are having trouble in a matchup and demanding buffs. Especially after 20 episodes of InControl and Nony telling IdrA and other Zergs to get creative and use Nydus worms.
We just got creative Protoss users. Ball is in your court. They are not calling protoss weak though if you listen fully to their discussion. That's just naniwa setting up the discussion much like he did with TERRAN IMBA in TSL hype videos. They admit that people have to adjust and figure out new stuff. What they did was calling out zerg as whiners. That's all they did. The discussion about archons were because JP asked them what units do you want if you can IMPROVE the protoss army in HOTS. I'm pretty sure I heard Tyler straight up ask for buffs. That's seems like calling Protoss weak to me. JP asked him what protoss was missing. He didn't ask "is protoss weak". But... if he straight up asks for buffs, that seems like he believes Protoss is weak. Can someone confirm if Tyler said he wanted buffs? I'm next to positive he did, but I don't want to continue the discussion if I misheard. I think Tyler wanted some buffs to Archons to make it a viable alternative to Colossus tech, which was a response to iNcontrol saying that Blizzard should "add" Archons to SC2 for HotS.

Tyler said he wanted buffs in a very sarcastic way, it's not like he said he feels like Protoss is underpowered in any way.
Also, I'm really liking this PvP discussion, even though I don't play Protoss. It's nice to hear them getting in-depth about matchups again, that's been missing the past few weeks.

Yeah, Huk and Tyler vs Incontrol and Naniwa. I'd pay to see that PP v PP!

why does incontrol have to make fun of his height, it has no relevance

Well, if he is insinuating Protoss is weak, yeah. Manner, please.

It also comes out of the building that produces 3 units that are way more important. It's the same reason why terrans don't get ravens.

I think that was pretty douchey of incontrol to clown on huk for his height after he challenged him to a PVP. How does huk challenging incontrol to a PVP have anything to do with his height, and why would it make it more threatening if huk was taller.
Seems like a pretty insecure comment from incontrol having to go for a low blow like that.

Make a second robo devoted to warp prisms? It costs less than zerg drops + ov speed and less than starport + reactor.

pretty much every pro has said their race is weak at some point...so it doesnt matter.

Warp Prisms with speed are as fast as mutalisks, they should never be hit unlike medivacs  then you deploy them to warp-in units.. warp-ins last 5 seconds. warp prism dies in 2.

totally inappropriate to go after his height. he should have made fun of his justin bieber haircut instead!

Incoming Incontrol double rainbow jokes once he views the video.

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.
Even if it wasn't, JP asked what he thought the race was missing. If you asked Bill Gates what he wanted most, would you expect him to answer about what he desires or would you expect him to say "I have everything."? It is pretty much common sense that -everyone- has desires, some of which are selfish. If you asked IdrA if he'd want Zerglings to fly and have 400 hp, he'd probably say yes.

Going any kind of Robo against the now infamous Ling/Infestor mode is asking to be roflstomped. Suddenly those 3 units drops to 1, and I'm pretty sure not a single Protoss chain-builds Observers.
Admit it. They are simply making excuses and blaming bad harassment abilities yet they haven't even tried Warp Prism play.

Nydus Worms take 10 seconds to deploy and announce when they deploy. Also, they can be destroyed by workers.
Riddle me that.

It's pretty douchey of Huk to try to end a discussion about strategy with lets play 1v1 because I know I'm better than you. the point of playing games is to show how it works... not to win games that are irrelevant to the discussion and say "well i bested you in this situation, so i know better in this other situation as well"
