[@SomeGuy-nr9id]

18:00 i like dark much better when he lightens up. That actually got a good chuckle out of me. Reminder Adepts suck vs sunkens but are good vs lings and kill drones. It's sure as hell better to waste a few drones in exchange for ramping up sunkens vs useless zerglings to put a timer on adept harass then to just continually suffer ineptly doing the same thing over and over failing. You can wall off against adepts with finished sunkens so that the harass area is denied aka ramps. Then later just move them out of the way for your own units which means the more the enemy commits to them, you get a extra benefit to the sunkens when you get up to 3 of them. Including the option of trapping them into a area actually less with a evo on a ramp 75 minerals.

[@munteanucatalin9833]

Rookie mistake from dark into game two against impact: You pull half of your drones from the main to the natural then wall off the main base for the adapts not to get in. Then you build 3 or even 4 spine crawlers at the natural while droning in the main and making units and queens out of the hatchery of the natural. I don't know why so many people underestimate the value of zerg's static defense.

[@collabcomm9007]

[@nguyentho6768]

Capt. Obvious here. I think the difference between how Dark and Impact handles the glaive adept push was that Dark made way lot more lings and even spores. I just rewatched the games of Dark in this series and realized that Dark kind of started making lings at 37-40 drones while impact had like 45-50 drones and way less lings.

[@nmlsaiya]

Totally agree... i was surprised also about that amount of spores hes taking more investing in that.. with this huge amount of early abuse that zerg are getting it was good

[@nguyentho6768]

@@nmlsaiya i think the 3 spores might be for DTs cuz he kept them in the mineral lines except for the one at the ramp. Idealy if you adepts you may want to locate one on the edge of the main base just so the prism couldnt move in and out very freely.

@Dalan I don't know the song. However it very strongly reminds me of the style of "Two steps from hell" It might very well be one of theirs. You might enjoy "Flight of the silverbird" and "Evergreen" by them. Thomas Bergersen is one of their composers and has side-projects. His style is the same.

Overall I feel Protoss is underperfoming as race compared to Terran and Zerg. Based on our how our late GSL went. Cuz by no means I feel competent to judge when where and what are the point where Toss Feels week I'm not that good of a player. The Battery overcharge doesn't seem to give toss the little nudge the race needs as a hole.

[@tankbuggeru]

Its sad that Protoss has to decimate the Zerg economy fast to have a chance to win. Even with the very successful harasses, the zerg can just remake drones and build an army big enough to just overwhelm the protoss. Toss relies too much on high templars, I don't really know why they were buffed, while other units remain a bad choice.

[@taragnor]

Yeah, pretty much protoss only hope is to do a ton of economic damage, either with oracles or adepts. Even then, the zerg has a ton of opportunity to recover, where as any loss as protoss is often utterly fatal. One bane drop, ling run-by or group of burrowed roaches gets into your mineral lines, and it's basically gg. You have to play near-perfect to win. And late game against a zerg is basically a loss, so you have the clock working against you as well.
