Like the GSL final between Seed and MC. That whole series was totally surreal as Seed just got inside MC's brain and started dicking around with the wires. I don't think that was about PvP though. That was something that Seed did to people. You can see it throughout his entire GSL run. Symbol, Byun, etc. all could have beaten him. But he got in their head somehow and messed with their wires.
Seed used dts and then Byun sat in the middle of the map for 10 minutes doing nothing.
Symbol was just too stubborn to realize ultra queen bane sucks, go infestor bl. Once he did he beat Seed on the rematch.

Symbol was up 2-0 and then Seed put a fucking manner nexus in his face. Byun had the series won and then Seed put DTs in his face.
Seed went on to turn both series around. Illusionist protoss indeed. He made himself look bigger than he was, and so he was.

Def bring your friends over! Are you making fun of something? "lots of micro" :D Ever played a High-Level Tvs anything? You wouldn't call "blink somewhere" lots of micro. You are one of the most delusional people I've ever come across... Ok. Then tell me what is there so much to micro. I mean: when I get terran (I play random mostly)-> When I encounter a protoss army, I move the marauders in Front, I marines in the back, medivacs on a different control group or they won't heal, split the army and spread it, stim parts of the army, select another control group (ghosts) and try to emp, focus down colossi with vikings while avoiding stalkers. Kite Chargelots and avoid STORMS (they kill terrans, EMP alone kills nothing, just shield). During fights I have around 250 APM, which isn't great. But its a hell lot of micro. Tell me what Protoss has so much to micro here? Select clossi and move it back? Or in a stalker vs stalker battle select the weakened stalker and blink it back. You must be kidding when you say that is a lot of micro. bring zealots to front, dodge emps and snipes, focus fire vikings with stalkers, pull weaken colossus back, storm....
Since I play random and also play Toss I can assure you managing one big ball that only has one caster (Templar) is simply easier then managing a spreaded army from not dying. Plus... oh yeah I forgot dodging storms, since when you don't dodge an EMP your army is still there, but if a terran doesn't dodge a storm... you see?
Really we can agree that Terran is mechanically more demanding then toss here.
I agree that it is a hell of a lot of training required, to use all the Toss abilities to the max.
But don't make a fool out of yourself again and say in a fight you have to do the same ammount of micro then the terran
Especially fun is the lategame when you catch the terran by surprise: When you are 2 seconds early the terran can spread shit, he cannot bring anything to the front, back or position vikings. you just a move and storm. Doesn't work the other way around unfortunately, since the terran has to position himself so well the protoss will notice it in time (and just moves back or makes some FF)

both sides have to micro much but i think the main difference is that terran needs to control 3 control groups (bio, ghost, viking) compared to the two of the protoss). that makes it much harder because it's also very time consuming to constantly add units to three different control groups etc.

See this whole argumentation is really stupid cause we talked about mirrors in the first place.
Nice try though

I was just pointing out, there isn't MUCH micro in a PvP if you ever saw what real micro is.
Indeed changing to non-mirror matchup was stupid from me, but I tried to prove you, that there may be micro involved, but it is never "much" compared to other matchups.
So don't try to sell this to me. And for the action part... well. If its early game vs early game - yes.
But so many games were "avoiding his army" till the point of no return and then a-move.
But I think there will be bullshit and lazers and I don't care about that
