Starcraft 2: PonyCraft 2 and a long PvT game on temple? Yes please!

Several times sanZenith has been on the verge of losing the game when he warps in some templars to stabilise again.
And I know you Terrans will all be like "hurr durr thats evidence it should be removed because he can just survive forever" but scfOu is going pure bio. Vs Storm.
And still managing to turn games into 20min+ macrofests that are back and forth despite sanZenith having had the perfect unit composition against it every time. Pure bio should not be able to beat a Protoss who has psi storm and an even economy, and I'm worrying that the removal of psi storm will not only make bio the only build to use vs P but also the deathknell for Mech TvP, which is actually a more fun matchup to play from both sides.
There are several ways to beat a mech player. You can abuse his lack of mobility by never engaging his army and doing drops and things, you can go immortal/chargelot if he goes light on the blue flame hellions, or immortal/stalker/phoenix if he's going heavy on blue flame and light on thors, you can go blink stalker to blink right up to the tanks, or DTs to harass expansions.
Vs Bio you can...go Colossus. Or Templar. Or you can die. And drops and harassment are less effective because a Terran bio army is more mobile than anything Protoss will have vs a bio army.the Protoss anti-bio army has to be together to beat the bio ball, unsupported colossi and templar will just die without doing anything, so if you split up a group of gateway units to go and harass that can cost you the game.
In a way I would argue the opposite, but considering the alternative is colossi play forever instead it will be rather boring :P.
Dhal, he is going almost pure marauder, which kinda counters storm since marauders don't like dying. I'd like to see how it looked if he mixed in some void rays there actually, although vikings would probably kill that idea fairly quickly :P.
How to get playing and shit?
Unless you DT rush, but then you'd go into Collosi anyway.
Study time!
and yet the storm still didn't run him over quickly despite scfou insisting on going pure bio again.

agree with all of this.
If it wasn't such an inelegant solution, I'd propose making the khaydarin amulet make HT starting energy be 65 up from 50. That way it only takes a few moments to get enough energy to storm, but you aren't essentially buying psi storms for 50/150 in a battle the way you do currently.
quoting for truth.
Agree that storm/templar in its current form on live with warping in templars that can storm immediately is borderline too strong, but templars warping in with 50 energy all game long is a little too weak.
"We will both play this one way no matter what I don't care shut up."
hahahahahahahah this made me giggle
something something making only marauders is creative because a terran is doing it?
i mean yeah, he's only making marauders (lol 1ta marauders) but thats pretty much the best choice right now given he has no significant alternative tech or production buildings ready to go.
That and they're so OP.
I would love sanZenith to just totally switch into olololvoidrays but he's surviving off storms at this point.
And this.
I'm pretty sure Artosis had his wisdom teeth out. Which is a surgery that they put you under for, followed by a highly unpleasant recovery process. It sucked when I had mine out.
who also pretty much never tried to micro out of storms
All the games were close, but that one was super down to the wire. San has got this imo.
Things a typical bronze level player would do. Another example.
