    SeleCT's TvP is pretty godly. His TvZ has been very good recently because he's adopted his supermultitasking drop-everywhere style from TvP into TvZ, as per MMA.

    well that was disgusting

    Terran ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    My last game against a Terran was hilarious. He went for a bio/stim/ghost timing push. I sat at my natural ramp, sniped the ghost that walked up early with 2 colossus, FF'd the ramp and roasted his bio as he ran it into the FFs stimmed with the colossus while my army sat at a safe distance. Then he left the game.

    Still, Alicia has Slayers terrans to practice with. Ryung/MMA/Ganzi etc. etc. And they're definitely going to help him, seeing as he's facing dropping out of GSL altogether. Select's TvP is good, but as good as them? Maybe.

    rofl

    flawless drop defence 3 or 4 times, a tight build that defends the normal 2x medivac timing perfectly

    Terran: oh right, i can make ghosts
    *wins*

  • WhatWhat Registered User regular
    That was orgasmic ghost control.

  • DhalphirDhalphir don't you open that trapdoor you're a fool if you dareRegistered User regular
    perfect templar spreading too

    except that part didn't actually matter.

  • His CorkinessHis Corkiness Registered User regular
    Lategame TvP depends way more on how well the Terran plays than on how well the Protoss plays.

    It looks like Select and Alicia are playing completely different games here, and I'm not sure it's Alicia's fault.

    I'm glad someone else feels that way. I was just thinking to myself that this game looks competitive in some ways, that Alicia is clearly very skilled, but as far as I can tell if they played twenty games straight up SeleCT would win all twenty, the exact same way.

    That was a really good demonstration of the 'perfect world' ghost vs. HT argument, as well as the HT vs. MMM argument.

    Alicia looked pretty devastated in that shot after the second game, and I see where that's coming from.

    Ghosts are pretty good, huh.

    Okay, that was weird. Not a single audible cheer for MC.

    yeah, both players pretty much micro'd their units as perfectly as you can.

    To be honest, not a whole lot of EMPs actually landed on the army of Alicia, but the problem is that gateway units don't beat infantry without storm to back it up, but infantry can beat gateway without ghosts to back them up.

    Not sure what Monster was really trying to do there.

    Remember kids, use two Artosis pylons to power 6 gateways and never block your front choke ever.

    These matches are not making me excited to be a Protoss. Also playing Protoss does not make me excited to play Protoss.

    Zerg isn't going to be much better off following the patch, either.
