But the fact is, PartinG is the only Protoss you can reliably trust to beat any Terran in the world including Maru. herO vs Maru is much closer. Eh, even Maru said in interviews that he feared herO in TvP. herO and PartinG are both exceptional against terran so I think its a reasonable discussion to have. Remember this game though? herO's defensive play is very very good | ||

Also, PartinG's "only achievement this year" is still further than herO has gotten in that tournament in his entire career. It's not without reason. PvZ is pretty far apart. No one would ever expect Parting to beat Life in a series whereas herO vs Life would be rated 50-50 by almost everyone. Even Zealously isn't sure of Life winning when he faces herO. And herO totally proved a few days ago who is better in PvP. So herO is better in PvP and PvZ and loses only to PvT slightly. herO is dominating proleague, Parting is dominating small tournaments. | ||

Even though PartinG is commonly aggressive himself, he also knows how to defend very well. And Maru himself even said after winning his SSL group that he just hopes that PartinG hurries up and gets himself eliminated quickly so he doesn't have to play him. | ||

He also lost to life in the semifinals of IEM Taipei. Not only that, PvZ is by far his worst matchup. I would say PartinG is a DAMN good player. | ||

Lol we are pretty much agreeing here  Rogue and Maru both said they don't want to play PartinG lol. | ||

PartinG should, by all accounts, have won game 2. herO got lucky as shit and didn't prove superiority. And while nobody would have expected PartinG to beat Life in PvZ before the GSL finals, he got just as close as herO did. | ||

He is really an incredible player who's game intuiton and creativity is pretty much untouchable outside of maybe Life. His loss in that group is probably the most impressive play I have ever seen actually lose a series (with reserves to Flash at HSC) Some of the things he did in that series were fucking beautiful. | ||

CC first and die trying ***without an scv scout**** FYI, CC first is fine in both TvZ and TvP provided:' you scv scout and the zerg doesn't 6 pool the protoss doesn't 2 gate inbase proxy the protoss doesn't go for the fastest possible oracle the protoss doesn't go for a 10 gate zealot the protoss doesn't 4 gate Wait nvm. Here's how to defend a 10 pool against cc first, via Flash himself : Starts at 1:53 http://www.twitch.tv/taketv/b/589076612 | ||

Mh, shouldn't a 4-gate be holdable with CC first depending on the follow-up? | ||

I think so actually, I don't really play cc first against protoss much so I'm not 100% sure. Honestly against protoss you should almost always open reaper because scouting is invaluable | ||
