The failed two base all in with recall into 15 minute two base all in floating tons of money is kind of silly. No flank, but FF and colossus against roach hydra is still deadly. It wasn't an all in, it was a timing attack that forced units and he got away and started making probes again. There's no point making more probes than your bases can handle if you know you won't be expanding super fast. There are such things as 2 base attacks which are not all in. Not every game of Starcraft where one person has a later 3rd base is an all in. Recall makes Toss able to attack and still get away without having to lose everything. That's good for the game. Idra had tons of units which he did nothing with. He could have contained toss, but nope he ran back to his bases for no reason. Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention (I missed the fist five minutes or so) and haven't seen the new PvZ meta enough, so I thought the Immortal-Sentry bit was all-in. I agree with you about the contain. He could have set up a beautiful arc at the bottom of the ramp and in the choke, and he could have contained Minigun on two bases for quite a while. | ||

Obviously they invited him because he's popular, but it's a shame that they waste a spot on him rather than someone more deserving, like... anyone else. Shameful invite? We invited him because of cumulative 2012 performance. Who would you recommend inviting over him based on results? Someone who can act like a professional, for starters. | ||

It was still at least cheese because Idra was waaaaaaaay ahead when Minigun had to recall. Probe production is cut, tech is cut. Idra just played fucking terrible. He didn't tech, he didn't expand, he did nothing but mass a unit composition that's the worst against the most obvious followup. And then he typed "lol" and left. | ||

Artosis was talking about that recently. He sai dhe couldn't wait to see how devastating PartinG's immortal sentry all in will be with time warps Im so sad, I don't have the beta but every stream I watch has loads of widow mines, mothership cores, hellbats, boosting medvacs etc etc. And the only thing as a zerg player I see being used often is the speed upgrade for hydra's.. I won't whine about balance, just the fact i was really looking forward to use some new units in my mix. Early on, not late game (which I don't reach often). | ||

Right now, there are more than 14k viewers, which is significantly more than the other broadcasts. And this is despite the fact that the level of play here is much lower than the level that some of the Koreans showed (though the Korean games were quite cheesy). Nothing like a good grudgematch to draw viewers | ||

If this was WOL, it would have been an immortal sentry all-in by definition. In HotS, every all-in Protoss does is now essentially a timing attack thanks to recall. | ||

What a joke. it was a semi-allin because he didnt commit to the attack once he saw the hydras. fortunately idra doesnt have a brain so he didnt scout for a robo bay while the attack was going on, had he done that he could have teched to hive much sooner and would have had vipers out in time for his 2base collo allin. he assumed minigun was commiting to the immo allin so he kept making units blindly and got punished for it :[ | ||
