That moment last year were he missed stopping Classic's proxy oracle by 1 stalker shot changed him forever.
Uhhh, what is Wolf talking about? Stats was always in shadows because reasons. For example all the named protoss players won something and were betteR?

I kind of thought he was giong archons when I saw the shield upgrades. I guess he's just going full silver and going shields cause it affects all units.

Stats was defending early pushes with pylons/cannons I think he upgraded survivability of said buildings

well shield is goodwhen going skytoss but the +1 makes adepts 2 shot marines/scvs and his harass hit before +1 weapon finished but after +1 shield so would make sense to instead go +1 weap -> +3 shield -> +2 weap (u need +2 weap once terran has +2(?) armor)

lol kind of forgot shield upgrades affect buildings until after i commented. ground weapons should affect cannons if that's the logic they're going with

also the gold base was questionable considering terran will almost definitely drop past there

Byun scanned it so I guess it must be somewhat common in korea or why would he even waste a scan there? I guess Stats had no where else to expand but idk that's weird.

You think maybe the gold base was him playing the player? Because the only major drop ByuN did this game was on the gold base after he scanned for it.
Mass expand with orbitals, make double armory for upgrades. And the unit composition should be, raven viking marine ghost and widow mines (to kill interceptors.) This style is actually not that hard to play against, korean terrans are just too aggro and try to attack with mass marine all the time.

Ah ok
These kinds of games only happens on Dusk Towers because defense is so easy. I think it's cool to have a map like this in the pool though
I'm pretty sure everyone likes Dusk Towers so I hope it stays in the map pool for another season. Knowing Blizz though they might take it out for another Central or something

Oh yeah definitely, if it's just the map promoting certain playstyles it's kinda interesting imo. I was just wondering because I took a big break from sc2 and heard lotv was super agressive :D

They could literally just reskin it to be brighter, call it Dawn Towers, and I'd be content.

Would adding a few liberators for the air splash versus interceptors be worth it?

That actually sounds really pretty and I hope it becomes a reality. Maybe I'll figure out how to use the map editor to see how it looks.

Well ByuN's style is also kinda passive. Look at a decent TY game.

So why did Stats not use his 800 minerals to warp something in during the fight when he had the chance to break ByuN? Why did he not use the 6 pickup range to give each stalker a 2nd blink?

even if ByuN didn't move out and get caught, he probably stlil would have gotten rekt by the Stats amove, that comp doesn't look beatable by anything at that time
Honestly revelation is just too strong as a spell. Cheap, last very long, safe as you can use it from a high range and has a big area of effect. It's just waaay too strong in my opinion.

You maybe right.Back in HOTS that strat will easier to counter because these is no adept.But with adept ,you can put pressure in both ground and air.

Blizzard choice of merging detection and revelation is stupid IMO.
obviously byun got caught game 5, may have went differently if he was in siege mode in his base. but overall he started viking production way too late unfortunately, and when he had them he didn't force a favorable air fight. then wow those phoenix rekt the vikings which would have been pretty much gg even if his ground army had not died moments ago.

Probably why certain Adept-Phoenix pushes seem pretty strong in PvZ as well. The two units take care of each others' weaknesses very well.

In PvT it's mostly because revelation reveals mines. In HotS you had to either detect with Oracles or tag units. Now it's merged and that's problem in early PvT, because you cannot use mines to defend vs. adepts

Wp Stats. Sad to see ByuN go.
You should watch the Youtube. It's real high quality and doesn't lag at all for me. Much better than twitch.
Seriously though. I have had literally no hiccups while playing coops during games on HD, where dingit or even twitch would be chugging at least a little bit.
I just rewatched the Ulrena game, that fateful final game [yt stream best stream]
I don't understand... it seems like when Stats attacked he just had so much more (so many adepts, so many phoenixes) ; Was it simply that producing vikings is too damn expensive? (ugh...) Would there have been any hope in trying to play a counterattack game (medivacs over the rocks... forcing the tempests over open ground?)
Can someone relieve me of my perplexity at this game?

those phoenixes would have been all over those tanks... besides which, in the decisive fights his 3 tempests weren't even participating-- they would have been had Stats have engaged more patiently (which he didn't need to obviously)

Rotti build currently 100% win rate in korea right now.I only saw marinelord won once again that. Foreigner OP......
Since we won't see him on either gsl or proleague i hope Byun does not retire. He earned around 5k dollars from this tournament and maybe there will be online cups he can attend to.
Did I miss anything of note when I was gone (the ClassicXsoO shipping video I know)? How were the first 3 games of Patience vs RagnaroK? As bad as I expected?

Not surprised. Game quality in S2SL in general has been much poorer than in GSL imo. Might just be because the player field was determined back in December, before the patch and before most play styles were figured out. And also because there's been some actual top 16 players missing in S2SL

I think the only way to survive in PvT nowadays on Ulrean is too open reactor vikings.
