Why do pro protoss players always put their stargate within vision range of the outside of their wall???
I mean, put it a few paces back and it wouldn't be seen. Is there some benefit to showing it? its not like hydras take a long time to build, if you want to force hydras you just show the air units. In fact showing the stargate early is less likely to force hydras because they'll have the queens made to hold it without hydras.

Think Sen's fixing to lose everything to 3-4 storms and a few feedbacks.

i saw the infestors coming up and i was like OOOOOOOOOHHH MYYYY GOD
and then instantly 4 100% accurate feedbacks despite the infestors being among the army, and bam no fungals and the stalkers are free to avoid the banelings

I think everyone was thinking this. MC has such good control, Sen would need to have insanity control to stop the HTs from doing the much-needed feedbacks.

way to completely miss the core reason why MC won that battle, artosis
four absolutely amazing clutch feedbacks on four out of five infestors
I don't know where they get off thinking that mass ling/bling ought to defeat mass storms.
it would have if the infestors hadn't been feedbacked. I think the idea of that composition is you crush the core of the stalker ball, then remax with muta/ling and crush them before they can get a significant number of additional storms and before they can rebuild their stalker ball. Stalkers get exponentially less cost-effective against mutas the more outnumbered they are.

Couldn't he have just minimap casted? There was no other unit around to take it.
But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to know a korean have that mouse speed/accuracy.
Does that thing where you can click on the minimap to cast feedback accurately still work? I seriously doubt MC would need it, but just reminded me.
it was never better than manually targeting
the only reason everyone was like "WHOAOAAAA IMBA IMBA IMBA" is because all the demonstrations were on a tiny tiny unit testing map with huge icons on the minimap because of it
on a normal sized map, especially vs infestors, casting on the actual unit is easier

I had this feeling watching iNcontroL/Gretorp casting MC vs Boxer. Seemed like they weren't paying much attention at all to the battles, and were just making "blurry" observations about how they went. Berating MC for an attack in which he kills several high-energy Ghosts for just a few unit losses, not commenting on Feedbacks, etc.

safe build is a weird term
this build is safe for what MC knows is the current state of the game.
he saw a lot of drones at the natural.
"safe build" doesn't mean "will hold any all-in or cheese blindly no matter what"

yeah but incontrol and gretorp are bad casters and Tasteless and Artosis aren't, they don't normally miss such things

missing subtle strategy timings is one thing
missing the fact that four full energy infestors, the cornerstone of Sen's army, just got totally nullified through a pretty impressive display of precision targeting, is entirely another thing
MC bringing back the classic colossus/vr deathball out of desperation :P
e: I think Tastosis miss important stuff while the Korean observer freaks out all the time, they just do a good job of professionally talking around mistakes.

i'm pretty glad Sen won
if this goes to 5 games, as long as MC wins in the end it can only be a good thing

MC and Sen, total ballers together.

plus if you have health bars on its not that hard to feedback anyways, click in the general area of purple and you'll get it
plus he's fucking mc he has 400 actions every minute he can spare to that kind of shit

It's only safe because fucking MC is doing it!
