Such a poor decision to blink on the tanks, but I actually think chasing the reaper with both adepts was a TERRIBLE decision. You know your opponent delayed their CC, and is on two-base, you know they're pushing, and you can get the reaper with just one adept and hold the other out to scout. Instead he was blind, for no gain, and he wasn't even posturing with the stalkers to delay the siege.

Like an NBA player is 100x better than your average basketball player, in StarCraft the pro's are like 1000x times better than the average player. In basketball you can 3 v 1 a pro with average players, in StarCraft, 3 v 1 in the same difficulty and the pro still wins, 5 v 1 and the pro still wins lol.

@@Hayman1257 anything Protoss could do that was worth anything was nerfed or scaled back to do nothing at all. It’s as if Blizzard decided Protoss players just like to lose playing defensive or don’t deserve any edge ever. Just look at stasis ward, why doesn’t it hit air? It was sold as an ability to hurt the economy without killing then nerfed to a ward to prevent access but as a Protoss player the main damage you are trying to prevent are drops from terrans. If stasis ward hit air it would even be useful for this BC teleports on top of my army. This game is just pathetic and when it is dead in 10 years and BW is still going strong know that it deserved to die.

it was an impatient blink, but a patience blink. all hail the gumi-god

Dark dominating like how he usually does. Poor Creator, that last lost was brutal and can see his frustration. Props to Gumiho for his wild builds and was able to pull a win. Special always providing some unique build, hope to see him more in future GSL.

You talking about VS Dark? He had Dark on the ropes. In some cases like this, the aggressive Blink keeps Dark from backing off and resetting the fight with the next wave of reinforcements. Creator maybe coulda done better with insane individual Blink-back micro, but that's not a given even at this level of play. This wasn't anything like the aggressive Blinks we used to see out of Patience, definitely not a tactic that seems particularly criticism-worthy to me.

I’m not saying I can replace artosis but state does brilliant job !

What's up with Artosis?

I don't get it... Phönixes should be able to pick up Protoss units and fly around with them, but not enemy ones or at least make them very slow. That way Protoss air can actually have some AoE... Throw a hugely shielded (maybe impervious to E.M.P.s) archon in front of phönixes and have them 'Eraser' mineral lines with AoE splash damage. Or AoE clumps of mutas and corruptours. Also - a 'Number of Sentries', being units focussed on calculations sounds perfectly fine. I'll make a list...

You can attack my intelligence but that won’t make them splash air unit, have a good ground to air anti capital ship strategy or make terrans all BC composition have a weakness. In BW I was a ICCup B, in SC2 I was masters low GM, I quit before elo as I never played LotV, I left because I was tired of blizzard making gimmicky shit for Protoss.

Spoiler! Heartbreaking to see creator in the last game :( He played so well. But Gumiho is pretty pretty decent atm. So no shame in losing. Last game was just a bad game for him, bad build order match, didnt have info on what gumiho did. And then, even bad decision making. But he would have lost anyways. But his vision was really bad that game. He missed the scvs I think as well.

One EMP on a bunch of gateway units with a few Colossus or Protoss air units on top of it and its instantly a thousand shield points gone. If there are sentries, oracles and phoenixes it drains their energy too. If there are DTs it reveals them as well. You can even use it on buildings. You can't split against EMP cause its instant, it also has more range and radius than storm lol. Anyone with a sane mind knows how much value EMP has over other spells. Its literally the best spell in the game, even if you don't use EMP, Ghosts can still snipe and nuke, its a counter against Broodlords, Lurkers, Ultras and even useful against Queens, Overlords and Mutalisks. With EMP its a counter against all spell casters in the game. Ghosts even has cloak to increase the chances of connecting its spells.

How about you guys actually git gud or just keep staying bad I don't care

I would make a few changes for Protoss. 1. Give Collosus two firing modes like Thor, one for squishy bio and one for big beefy units, 2. I’m sick of watching zealots get stuck behind the army during a fight, charge should be a teleport to stay with the theme of Protoss, similar to stalkers. And give them two teleports right off the bat instead of one. And 3. Buff cannons again. Give them an armor buff or something when built near a Nexus for better defense. Oh and 4. Nexus bubble shield upgrade??? I mean cmon. Simple stuff that can give them a better chance.

So they are good for early defense, but any mid game army can roll through them if the zerg doesn't have a proper army. They should be able to deal with mass phoenix/viking by then.
