no offense to jinro's opinion but every single protoss he named would get destroyed for the most part by the top level terran players, and yes you can look at the general but the maximum potential with all races at the highest level is really what tells the fundamental balances of each race, if you play each race perfectly u should have equal or similar results at top level, if not then either the players playing protoss arer horrible or its actually the race, he doesn't show sympathy for protoss, i didn't show sympathy for zerg or terran when protoss was the best, its quite common u will hear this kind of response from any none protoss....


thats the thing though, its hard to say that protoss has been played at the highest level. as jinro alluded to, the toss mainstays in code s were generally very cheesy and timing attack oriented. mc was the undisputed champion of protoss but is now in code b and it would be dishonest to say that he was playing a robust, macro style of toss. its tough to say toss has been playing their game with maximum potential when warp prism tactics are just now seeing the light of day and toss seemingly just remembered how powerful their upgrades can be. the only issue that could possibly remain is ghost range being a bit too strong.

I feel like the risk thing is really overblown. Tyler says it once and now everyone makes it sound like he goes Nexus first every game. I don't see him take many risks actually, he just has too much of an allin mentality.

The major problem iv seen with protoss is two major things, other races have identified that when a protoss expands its very vulnerable race with a major lack of defense, one of the major problem is the photon cannon needed a forge and the absolute need for cybercore early game, and the simple lack of units when taking a 3rd with drops harass and split army confrontation with the huge emphesis of the trilogy gateway combo... The other major problem is the mirror, i really put stock into mirror matchups improving each race tremendously seeing as the margin of error vs your own race is so slim, it really evolves play, and protoss being stuck on 4g v 4g for so long really set back protoss player development and understanding of the game, damn koreans for figuring that build out. Im hoping for a balance update for protoss, adding atleast 1 upgrade after removing 2 would be atleast somewhat fair, but im really looking forward to an improved mirror matchup in pvp to potentialy push the race in a better direction~

I dunno about that. Lately I have been seeing a more macro style of play and a lot of the Protoss QQ actually comes from macro games.

Ghost's EMP pretty much have been destroying Protoss' late game and that results from macro games. Stargate play vs Zerg have been continuously been destroyed despite how much it seems to do and that is from macro games. Taking a 3rd against Zerg also seemed really hard in pro games.

I really hate it when people just spout nonsense ffs.

But your the one spouting non sense. I see tosses take thirds vs zergs just fine a lot of the time when they try for it... There isn't much zvp in GSL so again if your going by that most don't even try taking a third they just do 2 base all ins.

He was not spouting non sense at all.

It's not Nexus first more like stupid risks. Like moving big parts of his army into the opponents base / position blindly to maybe snipe something and then losing it and subsequently losing the game. That happened ALOT recently at least as much as his stupid all-ins.

lol jinro says this, but toss winrates on ladder and gsl are horrific. Also no offense to jinro, but terrans dominate tosses. Jinro just loses all his tvps so he blames that tosses are good....

In GSL, from what I remember, a lot of Protoss go Stargate and harass a bit then try to go Colo while taking a 3rd. At this point Zerg maxes out and Protoss is stuck at around 130-140 supply and Zerg just overwhelms.

And what about PvT.. do you see a lot of 2 base allins there?

I'm not arguing anything about balance or whatever if that's what I'm sounding like. I'm arguing against the fact that everyone seems to think Protoss allins every other game. Plus, it's not like Zergs and Terrans don't do timing attacks right?

By the way, I played you before on ladder or a tourney before LOL. ><"!!

lol ^^ whats your username (just curious!) .

Well pvt emp does seem really strong I will give you that in pvz though I think a macro style is fine once more and more tosses get used to doing it and its shown in succession a little lately when tosses go into macro games their winning more then when they 2 base all in (huk vs zenio, kiwi vs stephano are 2 quick ones that come to mind). Haven't seen to much zvp lately where the toss goes macro and there are of course games where a zerg beats a toss who went macro but their normally a lot closer then when the toss 2 base all ins then gets rolled xD.

protoss "hopes" like sage all in more than you think.



Zerg can hit 100 drones before protoss can hit 60 probes if they rush third base, meanwhile terran has the best harassment capability in the game and can ALSO sustain higher minerals/minute than toss using mules.


Macro protoss is vunerable to so so many things, and HuK said he gave up on trying to get a really fast third base in any matchup because you simply dont have the units to defend one early (i think before 12-13 minutes or so at the earliest)

No way Jinro. Protoss is just too weak right now. I feel like Marauders are too strong with stim and on the other hand zealots are too weak.

Even ultralisks and/or roaches are no match for marauders so that just goes to show how imba they are.

And a lot of times even siege tanks are not enough to deal with marauders.

emp range should be nerfed maybe but toss should really learn to spread army vs ghosts ... why does terran player learn how to spread marines vs banelings, tanks, and infestors. Zergs also have learned to spread units pretty effectively while protoss just goes 1a. I love that protoss are rediscovering their race with warp prisms but come on protoss players should stop qq'ing and start getting creative and less all inning.

suggestion for MLG staff/tl mods: I would suggest for this MLG and future ones to make a general section thread that is routinely updated with MLG videos of content like this. something like "MLG Orlando Highlights [real-time] updates" or something along those lines. As for the video, I liked/agree with his stance on protoss as a race and their previous "heros" and their current one(s).

I completely agree with jinro, as much as I love Hongun, none of the players bar MC were "robust" players. And hell you can even argue(and MC himself admitted it) that they relied a lot in timmings(which is not really that bad as SC is about Timmings) but they got figured out and they are suffering. We shall see if the new blood will be able to show us more about the race.

People forget that in BW PvZ had the +1 speedlot archon timming as the standard in games. That got figured out, P were suffering for a long time and then Bisu figured out an alternative/ Stuff like that takes a long time to figure out.

But yeah this is a wait and see situation IMO. If nothing comes up then sure go ahead and ask Blizzard to patch it, but so far I feels its been too little time.

Edit: Thanks for the video, how rude of me
