Didn't Killer lost like 3 time in a row trying to nexus first ?


Well ironically the one game he won was against a 1-1-1 all-in.

so now Alicia is a balance designer?

I think there must be some misunderstanding lost in translation here.

All I'm saying is that this balance discussion and theorycrafting is kind of worthless. Nothing is going to do anything but getting into games and working it out. That's what Alicia is doing, not posting on TL about it.

No he's posting on twitter because his practice sessions have lead him to same conclusions as everyone elses: you can't stop it.

Then everyone should just quit playing Protoss. Or keep trying. Up to you? :D

People look pretty close to race switching, as Zergs were before the patches saved them. Many Protoss look on tilt from the start in PvT, including MC.

Agreed been off racing as Zerg for a few weeks cause i just don't wanna touch protoss at this state losing to it makes me rage QQ

Why would you say "ironically" ? The build is made to beat 1-1-1 all-in, it would have been ironical if he had lost this one also ^^

Even if I wanted to race switch, I don't like playing Terran at all. I like Zerg, but ZvZ makes me want to kill myself, can't stand that matchup for some reason. Besides, it's not like I keep losing to this, I just 1 base all-in and the average Masters player doesn't have the execution needed to defend with a 1/1/1 opening. 3 Gate VR and the 4 Gate Warp Prism work quite well.

Ya it's not really an issue at our scrub level because the Terrans don't know how to defend a whole bunch of allins in response. But when they do....

I don't think you're giving professional protoss and zerg players enough credit. Patches didn't give Nestea and MC their GSL wins. Sure, in the past some things have changed (notably 5 rax reaper was nerfed, but honestly I bet if they left it in Zergs would be stopping it today though the metagame would look completely different). I mean just look at the whole 2 rax/pulled SCV all-in trend that looked unstoppable for almost an entire GSL. Nothing really changed, but now most Terran's don't do that because it got 'solved' to an extent.

Alicia made a post on twitter. I bet he's still practicing every day, not waiting for a patch to solve his problems or switching his race.

phoenix 25 energy graviton beam against light units. so they can try to kill marines

no, it would not make hydras useless, you can only fight hydras with phoenix if you have 1 phoenix for each hydra, so energy almost never is a problem. and the counter to mas phoenix is not hydra, the counter is spore crawlers or corruptors.

Probably. But probably not much PvT, and he'll probably just allin a bunch. Look at the ludicrous G3 of MC v Puma to see how insane this is making Protoss players. Phoenix into blink into DT into hidden base into base trade to try and beat it. Nobody has a clue what to do and they've basically given up trying.

kinda different, it was never "unstoppable", it was just really hard to scout and happened unexpectedly. But if you know its coming, you don't lose. Like any all-in.

The Terran race is so 'versatile' because their tech is cheap. 3/1/1 costs only 900/300 in infrastructure, and unlocks access to all but three units, as well as access to the research for those units. It would appear to fulfill similar roles to Twilight Council + Stargate + Robo + Bay, which is much more expensive. (For ~900/300, a Protoss can have two Gateways + Core + Warp Tech + two tech structures. Not as sexy.)

If Protoss is to compete one-base to one-base with Terran, perhaps Protoss need to open with faster gas.
My strategy is to fork people.

That every Protoss player in the world has given up is quite the assumption to make.

Owned hard.

Although this wasnt the exact build we are discussing here. Stimed marines with shields + tanks and medivacs of one base.

I think the problem is either the MULE, which makes sooooo many marines for terran possible, or the marines are too strong.

Artosis on GSL basically said "Protoss should stop playing so greedy. 1-gate expand vs 1 base all-in terran, what did he expected ?"

Can someone tell him how wrong he is ? : <

hehe, in the GSL RO16 + Show Spoiler +
Genius just lost his first game to 1-1-1 but there was no banshees or ravens and he scouted the MT just as they were moving out so only got 1 immortal and messed up his ffs losing about 5 ffs with only 1 marine killed.

I think it's a pretty apt analogy. Both are hard to scout (well, hard to scout what specific variation) and the push can happen unexpectedly. Eventually Zerg players figured out how to play less greedy without giving up an advantage, and it fell by the wayside. I think the Zerg over-all winrate for that GSL was probably similar to the Protoss over-all winrate is now in that match up.
