EPTSaw wardii's talkshow with Uthermal and Beastyqt where they said that protoss can use every single unit in pretty much every single matchup with some amount of sucess (which seems to have been backed up by Nerchio too).

To have any chance of beating the 1-1-1 you had to blind counter it from the start, and it happened to work out because the best way to stop the 1-1-1 was a macro opening and you just cut Probes at ~34 and built units if you scouted it coming. Most of Puma's reign with the 1-1-1 happened with Immortals having 6 range. Map size is what ultimately killed the 1-1-1. It is why you still see Terrans bring it out on Ulrena. 1-1-1 has always been terrans go to in the early game because of the lack of tech the race has, also 1-1-1 in LotV haves nothing to do with WoL or HotS 1-1-1. | ||

Not necessarily true. It may have been a go-to build in TvT, but that was primarily because of how effective Banshee harassment was. For TvP and TvZ, 1-1-1 was incredibly ineffective prior to LotV, aside from that one time when PuMa invented a 1-1-1 TvP all-in, which faded into irrelevance by late Wings and became obsolete in HotS. | ||
