      The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources.
      Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit
      The scanning range is also very wide.
      Blizzard have to block the Battle Cruiser for 5 seconds from using the Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump
      LIBERATOR & Ghost Sniper so OOOOOOPPPPPP.
      On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades respectively
      Even Zerg & Protoss' defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function
      In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall
      The zerg is still garbage
      INFESTOR skill Deleted but Ghost skill always non Deleted!!!!WTH!
      Zerg units are expensive to upgrade and take a long time to complete
      The tech building is also expensive, but you have to invest 50 more minerals called drones there and pay 50 minerals again to produce the lost drone
      Are the zerg a cheap tribe? Fukshieeeeet. Zerg most expensive and inefficient tribe
      Zerg adds minerals and gas when transforming units
      No race is more expensive than the Zerg
      One last thing on my mind.
      Terran Cyclone & Battle Cruiser can auto-attack
      Protoss Phoenix & Carrier can auto-attack
      Zerg have no such units
      Blizzard needs to patch these issues quickly
      nonono, please delete the zerg

    Its seems like if protoss can perfectly deny any terran aggression and destroy all the medivacs that they can get a stable mid game, but if anything goes wrong like loosing a colossus its pretty much game over. We rarely see come backs from protoss v terran at this point and its kinda sad / boring because the game rests on a knifes edge, and then a robo unit gets picked off or some early pressure gets denied and then as you said, you start watching a prolonged death animation.

    kind of counter to the proverb Lowko brought up in G1 "when ahead, get more ahead": This does not seem to work out for protoss vs terrans when massing ground in the midgame. Maxpax hits clem's army right before the first ghost can come out because he knows that his gas units are about to fall off a cliff in value. He knew his advantage was on a timer and had to execute an attack. Really impressive stuff.

    "Sure, Terran and Zerg dominate tournaments, but that's because they have Maru and Serral. Without Maru and Serral, the three races would look more balanced"
    Now, try that exercise in reverse: Remove herO and Maxpax from the equation, and Protoss disappears entirely from top-level SC2. This game is not well balanced at top-level play.

    It really is sad to say that the Oracle is one of, if not the best, units for Protoss. One of the only units for Protoss that actually has value throughout the entire game, and the only Stargate unit that is good in most scenarios. Phoenix can be good against certain army comps, but the other 3 Stargate units are just trash and not worth the crazy investment they require.

    Really seems to me like Terran anti-air is almost as much of a late-game balance issue as the Ghost. The other races rarely seem to gain air dominance, and while that could be due to the greater variety of anti-air options available to Terrans, I wonder if it's due to the sky-high DPS-per-cost ratio of the Marine. Maybe it would wreck early-game interactions with Oracles and Overlords, or maybe it isn't the problem at all, but it seems like nerfing Marine damage to air might be worth trying.

      Still, my impression is that it's not really fair to say Terran AA is on a different level. At least for high-level players, the other races seem to _almost_ hold their own, so I doubt it would take much nerfing to render Terrans incapable of dealing with Skytoss' huge range advantage or Zerg's insane spellcasters.

      @@mark11tz Yeah, I guess "huge" is an overstatement, but Skytoss does have a _significant_ range advantage, in practice if not paper. For example, Thors' inability to clump and lack of maneuverability makes it trivial for Tempests to snipe the Thors on the edges while remaining out of reach of the rest. That means that with just a little bit of micro, a few Tempests can kite down an arbitrary number of Thors literally for free.
      Or in other words, en masse, Thors' _effective_ range declines substantially whereas Tempests' doesn't, if microed properly. When you factor in all those not-so-obvious details, Skytoss really does have superior range, even if it's not enough to achieve parity with Terran.

  • @pavelar74
    @pavelar74 8 месяцев назад

    A question: Clem sent the SCV to check if MaxPax will start the Nexus. What stops MaxPax to send second probe to the natural location and once Engineering Bay is cancelled immediately stop the Nexus on the third base location and start one in the natural? True, some time and resources will be lost but this will pay itself by having second Nexus in the more convenient and defendable location.
    Is there any reason why this is never done by other Protoss players?

    • @hivetech4903
      @hivetech4903 8 месяцев назад +2

      Because it doesn't pay for itself. A base cancel at the start is huge and typically game ending. Something that pays off in the future isn't helpful if that future is further away i.e. the whole build is delayed.

    • @pavelar74
      @pavelar74 8 месяцев назад

      @@hivetech4903 Hmmm... But in this particular case the delay will be like how many? 7-8-9 seconds most? The SCV left the natural in 1:16 and the Nexus was placed in 1:23. Assuming that MaxPax send second probe at 1:16 (when he sees SCV leaving) and assuming that Clem cancelled the Engineering bay at the same time when he sees the Nexus placement (1:23) then MaxPax can get the natural at the same time. May be 1-2 seconds later. So, the delay will be between about 7 (best case scenario) and 9 seconds (worst case scenario). Is it so bad? I mean isn't it to delay the Nexus for 9 seconds (in worst case) but get more defendable/convenient location? Is the Protoss build so tight that 9 seconds delay will mess it up?

      Also his point is that you have to play aggressive and risky and that when MaxPax plays more "safe" or defensive he starts losing... If you have to play aggressive and risky to win, that should be a sign that the race is weak.

      The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources.
      Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit
      The scanning range is also very wide.
      Blizzard have to block the Battle Cruiser for 5 seconds from using the Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump
      LIBERATOR & Ghost Sniper so OOOOOOPPPPPP.
      On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades respectively
      Even Zerg & Protoss' defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function
      In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall
      The zerg is still garbage
      INFESTOR skill Deleted but Ghost skill always non Deleted!!!!WTH!
      Zerg units are expensive to upgrade and take a long time to complete
      The tech building is also expensive, but you have to invest 50 more minerals called drones there and pay 50 minerals again to produce the lost drone
      Are the zerg a cheap tribe? Fukshieeeeet. Zerg most expensive and inefficient tribe
      Zerg adds minerals and gas when transforming units
      No race is more expensive than the Zerg
      One last thing on my mind.
      Terran Cyclone & Battle Cruiser can auto-attack
      Protoss Phoenix & Carrier can auto-attack
      Zerg have no such units
      Blizzard needs to patch these issues quickly
      nonono, please delete the zerg
      SC2 only requires Terran and Protoss

    42:00 Honestly no idea why Max Pax startet carrier production against a terran who already had a bunch of vikings on the field. In general i dont think that carriers are a good choice vs terrans as even marines can counter them pretty well, unless in big numbers.

  • @lief3414
    @lief3414 8 месяцев назад

    Good choice with the title change. GRAND FINALS always gets more attention due to the exclusivity and mentioning the races in title might lure people like me that don't instantly connect pros with their races. Maybe work on the double intensity of Ultimate Showdown, make one word more creative, even if just for it's own sake.

    August stats are in for Aligulac:
    PvT: 51.41% for Protoss.
    PvZ is at a historically even spot at 49.59%. This is the second month since January 2021 where PvZ hasn't been (usually grossly) Protoss-favoured.
    TvZ is at 49.63%. It's very slight, but this is the first month in soon to be three years on Aligulac where Zerg's favoured in both matchups (naturally, since Protoss is ~always advantaged in PvZ in Aligulac stats)

    • @mark11tz

      Since 2023, after the patch, if you consider ALL the tournaments on liquidpedia, PvT = 47.5%, PvZ ~ 50%
      Also according to Aligulac, since 2018, protoss has been the lagging race in term of EMP points.
      Meanwhile, if you only take into account of top tournaments, you will find PvT ~ 38% since 2023 Jan, after the patch, sadly.

  • @gewinnste

    Protoss is ridiculously underpowered at pro level and essentially since the start of LotV. If toss wins at pro level, it's mostly with funky surprise strategies (e.g. the 57 probe - mass chargelot build of Zest) or sometimes with cheese, but almost never with proper macro games. I feel the only reason they don't buff toss is because toss is dominating the low GM league - but only because of "protoss bullshit" like cannon rush, proxy voidray etc., which doesn't work at pro level (and shouldn't).
    One of the worst decisions was nerfing the colossus (full damage only vs. light units) - this was THE central toss unit, especially vs. MMM and now it's countered (!) with marauders and it's exactly like Lowko said: The _orcacle_ is the best protoss unit. Nuff said.

    I don't understand MaxPax's decision-making here in games 4 and 5. He knows he's facing a gigantic swarm of Vikings built to deal with his Colossi, so he transitions.... to the exact other units that are equally helpless against Vikings? I know Stalkers are supposed to be the Protoss counter to Vikings, which MaxPax couldn't do because of all the Marauders, but even Void Rays would have been a better choice.

    At the top level, the default progression of the game favors Terran in TvP. That doesn't mean that Protoss can't make something happen to win; the issue is that the onus is squarely on them to do so.

    My Theory has always been that MaxPax is actually a girl, and she just doesn't want all that exposure from a _girl_ being a _top gamer,_ or whatever stupid headlines will come of it. It's easier to be a faceless top cyber athlete, than be the new posterchild for inclusive gaming and probably a bunch of other less scrupulous things on the internet.

    This matchup is so sad. Terran Ghosts far too OP vs Protoss. EMP needs a huge radius nerf and shield reduction nerf. Right now, 2 clicks aoe entire Protoss army and removes 1/3 of their HP instantly. Feedback is also single target, vs EMP that's AoE vs casters so Terran have it far easier to counter High Templars too.
