The game 7 guy went too much air, had he the same minerals/gas invested in immortals and stalkers that would have gone differently I think. He would have had to engage outside his natural to draw the PDD, but he had seen that with his obs. The description led me to believe he had those units, but yeah just 1 of each in the first engagement.
It seems all-in ish, why not just bring your scvs with you to repair the thors/banshees?
Watch game 1 to see what the investment into stalkers and immortals looks like (it's not pretty and I even was dumb and didn't micro a thor forward to break his FF). Anyway, game 7 was actually one of the closest matches b/c phoenix eat the banshees. I don't bring SCVs b/c I have yet to have a protoss stop the push so I leave em home to make reinforcements.
Lol. That game was funny too. He 1 gate FE's and by minute 7, he had one stalker. Uno. Stalker-o. And he stayed on 25 probes forever, and his macro was shit. He makes more towards the end, but by then it was too late. You had 23 SCV's literally the entire game. You attacked at like 11 minutes, and your army was better (marines lol), since it was both more expensive and toss had no AoE.
Any build where you have 23 SCV's at 11 minutes is terrible. You've just been playing really, really bad protosses.
Also, if you're planning on waiting a long time to attack like that, you should make the Raven before the banshee so you have more energy for PDD's.
Edit: Also if you scouted ever you could see that you could kill these dudes with like your first marine.
Edit2: This might sound overly mean, I didn't really mean to be, sorry. It's just that it's really not your build, the dudes you are playing are just really bad. You should also work on improving your macro, you HAVE to be making more than 23 SCV's in a 13 minute game.
Edit3: Also I think you have a good idea there, thors are really good. Make sure you get them their strike cannon, because it can one-shot immortals and collosi, and they can't even attack while they're being murdered to death. Banshees are also sick dps, but all told that's a lot of gas. The build would probably work better if you expanded for gas.
well idras out and i dont wanna watch pvp and zvz!
why the hell aren't you guys watching GSL?
I'm not even remotely interested in watching IEM vods after seeing the results and how badly the Western gamers were, in the main, demolished by Squirtle and Ace.

$10 says IdrA now parades around talking about how Protoss are OP and Squirtle is actually a bad player and he won because of Protoss.
IdrA needs to learn how to accept losing more gracefully. And also stop calling people who beat him "bad." If they're bad how come you lost o_O

I used to be okay with IdrA. But then I realised that after every single time he loses a game, whether while streaming, doing interviews, or in replays, he has a reason why he lost that is not his fault. He never loses a game thats his fault for playing badly. Apparently.

Ace did demolish, yes.
But you do know that Squirtle only got 3rd, right? And he lost a lot of games and then had to fight through 4 tie-breaker rounds to get third place?
Socke and sjow played really well in those tie-breakers. It was just a matter of who managed to stay the most focused after playing for so long.

He wouldn't be Olorin if he didn't make a big deal about beating weak players with an unbeatable new strategy.
Early pressure fails, expo late, so double expo!
also, go idra
Sometimes, 1at.

Well TLO made a good point, that protoss gets super far ahead of they take a third before the zerg.
I'm thinking IdrA might have been alright if he had gotten creep tumors out to his desired third in time; would've saved it from those VRs.
yes, but he did have a spire going already I think
also colossus are as lol as stim. jeeeesus.
what a dick

The problem's that the money just isn't there.
You need to spend more money on corruptors than they spend on colossi, and to field and rebuild a big roach/hydra army.
Just not possible when they have a big income advantage.
Ace did demolish, yes.
