i'm just not sure what creator is trying to do with his mid-game builds here. like, each game he intends to take a third base but he wastes a lot of resources on meaningless "harassment"

I was kind of excited to see a void ray mix in...then he made carriers. Carriers are just completely useless supply filling in PvZ. Interceptors get annihilated.

The armies I've seen work best involve archon tanking for colossus/high templar just mowing down the infested terrans, before finally blinking in the take down the brood lords. Would've been interested to see void rays replacing the stalker portion.

HyuN played and engaged perfectly because all he needed was Infestors lol.

You need HT.


Did you miss the storms and feedback? He had like 10 HT's.

Obviously you need 30-40 of them.


First post with any sense there.

32 infestors, only 10 HT (which are infestor counter as equal numbers), and PROTOSS COMPLAINS ? WHAAAT ?

Obviously creator had too much air and not enough templars.

Hint: Storms do not stack. If you have more than 12 templars, all you can do is overstorm.

On the other hand, if you have 32 infestors, you can pretty much cover the screen in Infested Terrans and use the rest for fungals.


You can do infinite storm with 20 templars on the infestor/infested terrans army. IT will do nothing, and you'll kill so much infestors with it.

You need archon to tank the broodlings damages

Too much hair, not enough templars.

Also, having all your air stacked was stupid. Easy fungle for hyun. Its like if zerg would stack his 15 broodlords and get vortexed... Protoss wouldnt whine there, protoss would say "zerg had bad control !".

I don't know why you'd ever want to take a competent zerg to the late game.

Starcraft 2 doesn't need protoss or zerg to have good games. Terran is the only fun part of spectating.

Just don't let the zerg do his perfect army comp. People did not complained as much about 3 3 mech in BW.

Doing MORE damage than hardly any damage at all still wouldn't have won him the game. Better control may have made the battle look a little more interesting, but he still would have lost.

You don't understand how Recall works do you?

That Mothership was in the army, Recall pulls an army TO the mothership, the town portal Recall is only in HOTS beta with the Mothership core.

That horrible endgame composition is the strongest army protoss can make xD

no it isn't

im not saying protoss endgame is comparable to zerg but carrier/voidray mothership blows

Hyun was turtling behind a zillion spines and spores, vortex requires your slow mothership to come to a complete halt. There was no conceivable scenario in which Hyun does not completely mess up where the protoss ever wins in that position. And Creator didn't friggin' move command the mothership. Thats a mothership that is attempting a vortex. Do you ever wonder why these days more zergs seem to get vortex' off than the protoss who own the mothership? Its actually easier for them, positionally.

Oh, he did have 10 templar.

Well never mind, I have no excuses then. My stream lagged a bit so I guess I missed the storms or feedbacks, I just saw carriers/voids/mothership against 10000000 infested terrans and fungals.


He hardly used any feedbacks i saw like 2 tops. He needed to do more but where he battled he had no chance to get any off, clutch fungalled to death to be honest. If that was battle in middle of map i think he has better chance.

10000 minerals, 12 gates

Zealots do well against 15 broodlords I heard.

He has no gas he can't warp in anything useful with those minerals


He had like 3-4 thousand gas when the fight happened... Pay more attention?

...which immediately disappeared into voids and HT even with his mere 12 gates. So more gateways would only have been able to make zealots.


...which is why slowly building void rays and HT against an army that just crushed that composition isn't ideal is it?

So if Creator instantly remaxes on stalkers while Hyun remaxes with the corruptors he made, Creator has a chance to overwhelm the weakened army.


There was still enough Infestor energy left and Hyun can just back off into his Spine Crawler Wall.
If Hyun overcommits Stalkers would have had a chance but if Hyun play it out intelligently Stalkers are completely useless.
Just ahead of time, know your addiction's not a crime. It's just a smaller part of who you want to become in the end.

What if... creator went for mass warp prism + colossus / ht drop on top of the infestors, then recalled his colossi after storming / feedbacking / lasering everything :o

BWC was skewed since the Korean qualifiers was when Protoss was at it's strongest. They rolled through that tournament and had the strongest Koreans at BWC.


Yeah yeah, it was just sarcasm really due to the inevitable balance whines, BWC would have been much different if WCS Korea Prelims didn't clash with MLG

weren't many relevant players at MLG other than taeja really

He move-commanded his mothership into the infestors and clumped carriers for fungals. I don't see how Creator played perfectly; that last engagement was much more disastrous for him than Artosis and Tasteless made it sound.

He didn't move command.

He got a vortex off then got fungaled than neuralled.


His vortex was terrible, grabbing barely anything. In fact, the addition of a mothership in the composition was questionable to begin with, since he didn't have the splash and since Hyun had neural.

Yeah but if we acccept that Creator's play wasn't completely flawless in every respect then we can't declare from a single game that zerg is overpowered.
