Sorry, but painuser is simply outdated and just a mediocre NA terran I don't know if we can call Painuser even mediocre, he's clearly going the caster route instead of being an active player. That means he won't really fit the concept of the show no more (ask questions from pros of each race). Demuslim would be an excellent replacement, if he is interested in doing it. | ||

No, people think it's OP because they see some of the best Protoss on the planet get raped with it. We can assume that they're trying their best (because money and fame is on the line) and that the players are relatively even on skill (given that they are meeting in the same stage of the tournament). When you see someone like MC (undisputed best Protoss in the world) who practices 12 hours a day try and fail defending 1-1-1 all in (especially when he knows it's coming), I find it hard to believe that he didn't come across the simple counter of 3 gate expo. In general I think 3 gate expo is pretty bad because without tech the Terran can just delay the push and get up a huge amount of Marines and then comes a point where the DPS would just own Protoss massing gateway units. | ||

I would love to see replays of that. I like Painuser's claim that you shouldn't get robo against that build and only if you scout cloak banshee you should (wonder how you are going to scout that). Axlav so Gosu. And he won't release replays until we mortals are ready for it. | ||

I'm not the one that usually hates on pro gamers,but seriously PainUsers comment only shows how his mindset as a player works and I could make a "Idra type" comment here about his career looking at that quote but ill leave it.Ill just say,if that's your attitude,stick to commentating. I agree with him that the build is not OP,but his knowledge about its problematics from the protoss point of view,or even terran,was so lackluster he would have been better of keeping quite about it. Greg was just Greg,his comment,"That's sc2 for you" is oh well.......can't really fault him for it. Edit:Forgot to mention one more thing.Its quite funny that people say "People don't play Koreans so the 1-1-1 is not so strong".I don't see the difference between the Koreans doing a banshe/marine/tank build and some random master terran on the ladder.The build is pretty simple to execute and you can only fail if you try to get cute with it or something.If anything ladder players from my experience and what i saw from replays execute the build pretty much prefectly because its the only thing they do....Your bound to learn in after you do it X amount of times and its not like this build has a high skill cap.Its most deadly in its simplest and pure form and that's why people abuse it so much. | ||

Not to mention 3gate expand is soo common, I find it odd that he has managed to find a "easy" solution given how much it has influenced the match up (read: Terran having 60% average win rate TvP in Korea/NA as of recently). But there is no need to belittle him. If he has a solution then let him show it. If it works he will have changed this match up from its current state. You don't have to take his word for it, but at least give him the chance to show it. It is not lack he lacks decent Terran practice partners, he must have something. Though right now I'm just hoping it isn't some kind of aggressive 3gate where he just runs up the ramp, crosses his fingers, hoping that the Terran is indeed doing a 1/1/1 and kills him with some funky unit composition | ||

Does he have some subscription on wins or? Maybe tournament organisers should just hand over that trophy to him as soon as he shows up because he is undisputed best protoss. wtf | ||

The complaint is not who is the best, whether NA terrans are shit compared to Korean Terrans, or even if 1/1/1 is "imbalanced". The primary criticism of the show is they didn't have a real discussion about it, they completely ignored the contents of the Gisado post, and what they did talk about was either vague or demonstrably false (painuser on cloak and his pointless tangent into TvZ and TvT). Was still an entertaining show though, just didn't feel up to par with previous ones in the strategy/analysis/pro-player perspective department. | ||

...and then he said don't get a Robo because "no one gets cloak" and "immortals aren't going to help you" ...and the best solution is make more Gateway units... you know, to replace all the ones that got blown up by Sieged Tanks and Cloaked Banshees since you didn't get a Robo. I facepalmed pretty hard. I'm not going to start bashing Axslav and InControl, I like both of them, and we're hearing Axslav's opinion second-hand which isn't the least bit fair to him anyway. I just wished they'd venture into the shark tank that is the Strategy Forum and tell us what we're all missing, and show us replays of how easy this is to deal with. Here's hoping MLG Raleigh gives us that insight. Edit: Also, apparently, a 200/200 upgrade is a steep price to pay for a chance at auto-winning the game. I chuckled. | ||
