Coolios. Was online today and was foreveralone in the chatchannel :P

I'm DanFromMars in the chat channel and play protoss.
 
-_- TvP so imbalanced.

Haven't won a TvP in so long that I don't cheese in. Just don't get what I'm supposed to do against Protoss when they just turtle till mass AoE comes.
 
Watching some of the IPL TAC3 finals.

I'm getting closer and closer to being sure that it's staged. I know they can hear the casters, Ret was talking to someone with his headset on properly about 5ft away from him and the casters have to be about 10ft behind.

I'm surprised no-ones said anything.
 
don't fight cheese with cheese

Lost like 5 games after I got cheesed trying to proxy gate and whatnot and utter failures each time, so I go back to standard games and just won an epic battle on the verge of defeat.
 
Yup TeaJa team killed in the first Ro9, He's 21-2 in TAC3 now. Will be starting the second and last Ro9 pretty soon. TeaJa just seems to get better with every game, it's just insane!

As for the players being close to the casters, they're wearing some noise cancelling headsets, that's why they have in-ear headphones + the cans.

Taeja hasn't played better than anyone else in most of the games I've seen him play in TAC3. His opponents seem to just always make a mistake.

If it was anyone else making like 16OCs then they'd be overrun with units and die straight away.

Yep I doubt very much that the players can hear the cast, as I'm sure before the event started the production team probably did some testing.

That said, my video has now gone blank again and I've only got sound. :( I can understand that tech issues at live events are to be expected, but even so they need to sort it out. :(
 
Is there anything that can be done late game against Protoss?

I ask because I was Protoss in a long 3 vs 3 game against 2 terran and 1 zerg player. My other two team mates were 1 zerg and 1 terran.

I took 2 bases then a gold and was attacked, my army was defeated but I managed to keep my gold expansion up and started churning out lev 3 carriers and lev 3 immortals.

Whilst my other teammates defended my other bases I carried on getting more and sending in the rest of my units to get wiped out. My carrier force (maybe 15-20) and ~8 immortals then wrecked through all 3 players with ease - Battle cruisers and the lot, immortals wiped out turrets and other land units.

What goes zerg / terran have against protoss late game? I remember someone using Battlecruiser Yakamoto(sp?) cannons on my carriers once and they took them out the game pretty quickly

Terran has nothing except for units that can trade very cost efficiently if your control is pretty much perfect and I mean PERFECT. It needs to be so efficient that you're left over with units because if you're not then 15-20 Zealots are going to walk to your base and win the game.

Zerg has BL+Infestor which if it's a maxed army a Protoss can't engage unless they switch over to something like Carriers but then Fungals and Corrupters are really good against them.


Your army isn't a standard composition though and my comments above are only aimed at the standard Protoss lategame. I would have just gone Vikings and ghosts against you though.
 
team games are not the best for working out staratagies as people tend to do weird builds that would not normally work in one v one.

Late game terran against toss is MMM and ghosts for emp and snipes and lots of drops , this is because mech does not work well against toss

Late game zerg is broodlord corrupter infester normally

That toss ship with 22 range was ridiculous; I guess there are still a few tweaks to be done.

They won't nerf that, if they thought it was imbalanced they would have never done it. Just like the Oracle's entomb, how is stopping mining potentially on every base balanced?

That terran mech army looked crazy strong ....
looks like pvt will not be mass immortal ....

I'd rather it stay how it is than be just A-moving every game with siege'ing being the only micro needed.

This game lol -_-
