In that case the better player won and wanted to avoid 3 hours of boringness.

I do not have anything against asymetrical design or all-in possibilities, but in case of pylon wall cannon rush it was pure abuse of protoss race design, nothing less, nothing more. And Jd, with his hatch first, could not do ANYTHING about it.

Lol, so true. People are just pissed fan favorite JD got knocked out by the race he has alway had the hardest time with.

It's not just that a favorite is knock out. It's the way it's done that rely on exploiting bad game design as much as possible. Maybe Has is a good player, maybe lag is why he played like this, anyway it shouldnt be possible to win like this.

That is a good point. As a protoss player, what units and strats do I get to play that won't get me in trouble with my opponent?

The fact, that Protoss needs just one worker to warp in limitless number of structures, as long as he has money, is nothing like proxy pylon warp in or anything in this regard, it is pure design flaw. Where is punishment to protoss' economy and where is the reason for this concept? Just to diferenciate races? Maybe, but still I see it as a huge flaw.

None. Welcome to zergs world during the patch Zerg era. Even if you're good, it doesn't matter because of the race you play.

Come on guys, we've seen these kind of cannonrushes back on Taldarim Altar. It's not new or broken.

Guess what, it is possible to win with all ins. Always has been. JD isn't spending time blaming the game, he is to good for that and he only focuses on things he can change. Whining doesn't do any thing. Life is hard, get a helmet.

Was like that in BW and everyone survived. It even said in the SC prime manual that the probe was one of the most dangerous Protoss units. Respect the probe at all times.

Except they are not all-ins. Has his winning DT rush failed he would be comfortable on 2 bases. His 1000+ mineral cannon rush left him with a fine followup. His inbase 2gate proxy against bomber left him ahead in supply.(only to lose due to his own control). Arturs 1 base blink worked 15 minutes into the game after failing to do damage early on. But sure stay on your high horse, condescend people and say protoss is fine.

Yeah, I get it, but still I see it as design flaw, because one of the main rts concepts: "need of structure construction > workers pulled of gathering process > less resources to spend" is absolutely not respected here, just for sake of differenciation of races. Players have to learn to live with that, but in the end, these extreme cases like this one are, in the end, just pure abuse of game design and have nothing to do with level of a player.

Overall, a boring WCS AM group that wasn't worth watching, regardless of all the balance whine that's going on. If you feel like being the worse player, but you're feeling pretty good about allins - hell, go for it. Just don't cry when fans rage on you (and I'm a fan and hate Arthur now)
