I think it is pretty much auto lost.

It's pretty close, but the comparisons are also always going to be flawed because they don't play the same race, some opponents are just going to be stronger or weaker in that match-up. I generally think protoss is easier to play from a mechanical perspective, and the wealth of aggressive options and compact, powerful armies lend themselves better to upsetting really strong opponents. Of course a Scarlett fan is going to think that protoss is easier to upset with.. what a surprise Ret, Hastem and Artosis seem to agree with me in general. Anyway, it doesn't matter, it's just an opinion. Naniwa would have been a top player regardless of race.

This is a needlessly long death animation.

I'm glad that we can accept both as top players

Lol that forcefield from HasuObs
|
HasuObs giving Stardust a freewin by throwing away his probe. I have to assume that the whole point of this build is to hit before the opponent can chain-force field the ramp?
|
If hasu gets several colossi, what are the chances that he can run over stardust with them?

Hasu started to make such a nice comeback... And then he couldn't kill the zealots on his base D: He should have teleported back after killing the 3rd base and it would have been a completely even game.
|
That no-one wants to see?
THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE
|
I don't see this working out for Hasu really.
|
Plz Hasu. Make some carriers! I'll be an even bigger fan!
