Thanks for the article, but a bit of a shame that TY's adjustment of adding the raven to the push is left out of the final paragraph.

he died to this build just because it's new, first times 16 marines drop in tvz was so good but now only byun play it and not so often too, when inno was playing his 2 tank stim build in tvp first times it was strong too but even neeb can adapt to this very good now.

It's not new, it's the reason why no protoss opens robo anymore. I've literally just heard this from pros and experienced it on ladder about a hundred times.

And yet, when winrates were even across the board, all these Terrans weren't so hot. There might just be a connection between that and the ~40% PvT winrate we've had for a while. But hey, I'm just connecting the dots here.


Well that rate is from before liberator nerf. And Stats handedly defeated ByuN yesterday, and he was not playing poorly. TY just played incredibly well today, absolutely hit the zone. It's a big shame to take that away like that.

TY/Maru (in proleague)/ByuN have been better than most other players for a long time tho.

I remember tough times against early tank pushes in pvt when I was playing random, but with a proper scout, without fast 3rd i'm sure there is a way to counter this even with robo, next time stats will show the way, and from what pros you've heard this, don't say mana please.

I think a key moment for TY that went unseen by a lot of people (including casters and observer) was that during the first match, in game 5, after aLive got himself back into a good position as the game was going crazy, TY's marines intercepted 2 fully loaded medivacs near his 3rd which got him a huge army lead to go with his econ advantage.

Maybe terran was grossly underpowered last year, and now it's actually balanced the terrans are too good?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Rain said terran is literally broodlord infestor, yes what would biased pros ever know
Sry but this "hey some pros said it" argument simply doesn't work even if it could be true in a specific instance. Strategies change, solutions change. Nobody knows if there is a legit counter even if they atm think there is none.

With that being said, yes i also think it looks very strong. I wonder if you could do anything with warp prism micro there though? Also something i talked about in the LR thread: I wonder if it would be a good idea to make siege mode an upgrade again now that the tank is strong. Obviously it's balanced around it not being there atm in some instances, so who knows

Either way, TY was great, making it deep in virtually every tournament last year.

ByuN won two major tournaments last year and looks weaker if anything post-patch.

Maru is pretty much the same; has his great games but can't really get anything done.

So, the difference with the great terrans is Innovation who according to himself is really practicing now instead of playing LoL.

Such a great tournament with a ton of great games. Probably the most sc2 I've watched in a long time. I was pretty much glued to my monitor most of the weekend. I do enjoy that the games start so early EST time as well so even on the "late" days, the games still end by 4 or 5pm EST so I can still do things later in the night if I want.

Made it even better being able to watch my maps Abyssal & Honorgrounds produce some pretty awesome games.

Pros have a nasty habit of saying "well I couldn't figure out the solution, therefore it's impossible!" because of their egos.

Then a month or two later it is solved. Not saying this will happen with Robo openings necessarily, but never say never.

The final game on Abyssal was soooooo good, thank you for making that map^^

Final game 7 deserved better (so did Stats), but besides that I really liked this tournament - all three races represented in the final stages and with some amazing close games! gg wp TY!

no way, classic has switched to protoss because he's so badass and just wanted to make his road to the gsl final even tougher.
