Really great show last week. Dropping knowledge without the drama. Theognis was a great panelist.

The widow mine priority seems good. I wonder if it's even intentional that it's the way it is now.

The only thing in the episode I struggled to get my head around was theognis' objection to the mothership core. It's only a soft deflection for any attack after early/midgame and I never find that I can get much scouting done with it.


It allows the protoss to play super greedy early on which will propel them into a significant upgrade advantage later on. It's not that big of a deal if the protoss plays a standard/safe style like in WOL though.

I think Protoss actually NEEDS that ability to be able to keep up with Terran, who can basically double-expand and prevent a Protoss 3rd at 9:30 with how good medivacs are now.

Also, unlike WoL, drops are useful lategame now (so even if you are down an upgrade or two going into the late game you can catch up). It doesn't actually matter if Toss warps in 10 zealots, you just boost to the next base and blow some shit up.

But (and please correct me if my recollection is faulty) didn't you mention it in the context of a problem (in addition to mentioning it as a possible solution to macro Terrans with speedivacs)? Of course it's too early to say if anything is OP (although this doesn't seem to have detered Zergs from complaining).

Yes I said it was very strong. I mentioned it more as an unsolved problem (didnt state it was OP)and that I'm having a lot of difficulty as I don't know the correct response to it. My winrate isn't very good vs it unless I'm blind countering the style.

Thognus is entirely right on the Mocore. You can do all sorts of things and be safe because of it's scouting and nexus cannon abilities. It's a big bugger to deal with.

Fortunately a reaper is really good at scouting too so you can often find out what they're doing. Unfortunately the correct response is not always clear.
