| If khan planned a hydra bust they could've at least sent shine to do it. |

The point is if your build allows for a terran to take a 3rd at a fast timing the max push always favors terran. So protoss has to wither down the ball by throwing waves of units at it. Or protoss can try to break terran by throwing waves of units at it. Either way, to do that you need good eco
In theory. I never see that actually working. Waste of resources, lack if tech, lack of harass, nothing but a bunch of expansions.
Your eco is spread out so terran can't kill it fast enough with the remnants of the army that remains. Of course, it relies on the protoss trading decently with the terran in the first battle, and having some bank. Jangbi engaged terribly and Flash pushed early enough and did enough harass to negate some of Jangbi's eco.
That entire strategy relies on terran killing you. Do you understand what I'm getting at? |

Stats vs Reality yesterday?
The only reason that worked is because it seemed as though Reality never got to that point in the game before and didn't know what to do. So he did nothing.
He split his army incorrectly.
Stats also had some pretty huge storms too, jangbi had none

Yes because if the terran can't take down 4 bases in 5 minutes, he's dead. And not all terrans can split his army well enough to deal with that, the map pretty much dictates that the 4th of the terran is going to be contested / harassed. It's up to the terran to end the game with the 3 base doom push momentum or lose.
Well obviously. But that timing window is far too large. This is like gambling on terran not even being in the game.
hardly, flash's army splitting was extremely good, he pulled his forces away from the top left to deny the bottom right harassment / base AHEAD OF TIME instead of waiting to get brokend by the toss army too.
By that time the game was over.
