yeah.. he is also playing very well. I think he can get back in the game. Bling should transition into deathball skytoss eventually. I don't think he can finish snute with colossus only

that's a stupid number of swarm hosts.
Professional protosses seem split as to how deal with swarm hosts. Some like the fast air army transition while others like the colossus based armies for a while. Both are fine imo as long as you harass a lot and have a superior economy.

I still think he should have switched to tempests/voids much earlier

As good as Blings attacks are his macro is quite bad. He had a ton of resources for so long yet never reaching 200/200 and adding those stargates 8-9min late.

Awwww yeah, carrier has arrived :D

He should be using that money to build stargates etc. much earlier, not mindlessly macroing no. Apart from that he's playing very well.

Either works and forces Z to react accordingly - but I think the big, big, hero of the show was that Warp prism. A Protoss that has a deathball AND the ability to multi-prong harass with warp-prims and proxy pylons is a deadly, deadly foe. As much as I love multipronged engagements and harasses, I can't help but feel bad for Snute.

Sitting at 160 does mean he can constantly warp in 10 units wherever to keep harassing Snute, although I do admit he should've used that to build his air infrastructure and upgrades faster. Either way, not a perfect game but damn impressive.

but then again it didn't matter, beautiful display of how to play against swarm hosts.

I saw a carrier. What year is this?

Bling is playing very good. But the casters sounds biased or what? Sometimes they sound pretty ridiculous.

He could probably have ended the game much earlier, but it shouldn't matter. Sick amount of multi pronged attacks, although playing SH on Frost is hard.

imagine if tempests still did splash like the original design when they were supposed to counter mutas

In vaccum, corruptors might win out - hard counters are stupid that way.
