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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. ><"!! | ||

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. | ||

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) | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
