If you guys play toss . Here is a tip when using spylons for vision and drops. Consider using gas geysers near your bases perimeter it's 75 minerals and if it gets sniped you don't lose supply. 37:53, a gas geyser would accomplish the same vision. Your welcome.

[@hchandlr92]

Brilliant! Though there's a downside of not being able to warp in units

[@orangepearlf40]

@@hchandlr92 Yes, by the time you warp in a stalker the drop ship is already boosted in your base. They nerfed pylons fast warp cause they thought it was imba now they (zerg/terran) happy cause they can win GSL tournaments.

[@HiddenWen]

Forgetting that vital upgrade in the last game really hurt him.

KZbin is so frustrating. I'm subscribed. I have notifications turned on. I still didn't know this video existed until right fucking now moments before angrily going to the comments section 14 hours after the video was uploaded, to write this comment. Why can I have KZbin open on my second monitor all day and only find a video of a content creator I watch more than probably any other content creator in my entire KZbin existence and not know when a video is out unless I specifically click on his profile and check to see if he has new uploads? Why KZbin? Why are you so difficult?

[@PiGCasts]

if it helps ive been releasing videos at 7am pst/10am est/4pm cet (my midnight)

[@PiGCasts]

cheers for the support!

[@KaiReel23]

18:19 - Bill Burr?

[@sinnyawesome7037]

tbh as a protoss player im not a ht fan but in good hands it is a gold!

[@redsnow846]

Protoss needs the scout back tbh. Oracle needing energy to attack is so dumb.

[@BioShaftBand]

I see PiG, I click.

[@Animalsarefoods]

Pig said something about milking terrans and now I’m wondering what Protoss look like topless.

[@naga3070]

1:13:46 Hero would have won that last fight by large if he commited towards the north army and could have significantly shortened, if not annihilate it before Cure connect both armies. What happened instead? He kept getting shot at for 10seconds straight by stimmed forces and then fought THE FULL ARMY. What a megablunder. Just shows that he fares better with his yolo attitude. Its not bad to change styles, but in his case i feel like he is gonna end up a worse player. He doesn´t feel as sharp as he used to in his latest series.

[@whats82]

So, for all the time we see resources destroyed, why do we never see resources collected ?

[@itranscendencei7964]

Sorry if it's not the best place to ask, but I figured I might as well try. After PiG took a quick look at Hero's control groups, it got me thinking about my control groups as I've been trying to decide on what I want mine to be. My question is, for Protoss players, how do you guys manage your control groups? How many groups do you use for Army/Production, and is it worth it to use the 8, 9, and 0 keys at all? I've been using the layout that PiG was using for his Protoss B2GM series (1-3 as army and 4-6 or 7 for production), but have found that I sometimes feel like I need more groups for army units. For the most simple example: if I have my ground army on group 1 and spellcasters on group 2, what should I do if I want to have my observer and my prism in different groups (Prism to push with army and observer to scout ahead)? Should I just put my Prism in group 1 and the observer on 3 while clicking on the prism when I need to warp in units, or should I just put the Prism on 3 and the observer on 0 or something? The issue becomes even worse if you want to add in a separate group for air units, one for a secondary army, or both. I considered putting my production on 7-0 to leave 1-6 open for army units, but that just didn't very efficient even with putting the probe key on "P". Sorry for the wall of text, but wanted to see what more experienced Protoss players were doing to manage their control groups.

[@nick-ro5bd]

Not sure your level. As a d1 I run 1.main(include an observer) 2. Spell casters 3. Warp prism, and whatever I want flying around in it 4. Nexus So on Set control group 0 to ~ Keep your observers sieged around the map to keep eyes on as your able Anything else you want on a hockey throw on the other side of your production like dts Also reynor goes production first then army keys if I remember. Watched him stream protoss and he Ran like 4 hot keys total or something if I remember

[@raccoonduck5406]

Sharing my two pennies as a 2-month old player who got to plat 2 following PiG's B2GM series. I put nexuses on 4, warp gates on 5, and 1 for units of immediate use depending on the situation, like scout probe in the beginning, adepts/oracles for harass, and whole army for end game push. If my army consists of more than one caster, I put the secondary caster on 2. Then prism on 3. I don't know what level you're in, but for low level play I think it's more important to practice macro, build, and execution than spending too much time mastering micro mechanics. You're constantly pumping probes/gate units and using nexus spells so I think it's more convenient to have your production control groups closer to your left hand.

[@itranscendencei7964]

Many thanks for the replies guys. Also, thank you to Nick for reminding me to use ~ instead of 0. I had completely forgotten about that one. It's actually been helping quite a lot. Been mainly using it asy dedicated Observer key. Which leaves 1 for army, 2 for spellcasters, and 3 for prisms. Production I've been using 4 for Nexus, 5 for Gateways, 6 for Robos and Stargates, and 7 for Forges. If I just have to have another control group or two, then I can use 8 and 9. Maybe could use those for some backstab groups or something. I had been considering what I would do if I wanted to have an air army on a different group from the main army, but realistically that's not likely to happen since Protoss air units are pretty garbage in general. I know Oracles can be good early, and a few Phoenix can be useful against sometimes against Terran. That's about it though. Anyway, thanks again for the advice!

[@Dragooncore]

Cmon Her0! Also, why don't Protoss use Templars for feedback. I see it so rarely used. Nvm, kept watching and saw some awesome feedbacks from Her0 on those dirty, filthy Medivacs :D

[@mark11tz]

I guess it is because the radius+range of EMP is further than feedback. If you store your HTs in a prism, it is not feasible to "drop+shift+feedback+click" all the ghosts before a ghost casts a single EMP.

[@evgenypenkov]

Сколько раз говорил:"Выпилите протоссов из игры и будет вам счастье...А то сейчас на протоссов жалко смотреть...

[@MAAJ1987]

you see, the problem with protoss is that high cost units like inmortal and colossus can (almost) NEVER run away from a fight…. Hero could have won that last game if he didnt lose those last 5 inmortals… however MMM can just stim and run away or flight away with medivacs but protoss needs to build these slow ass robo units to survive MMM, in a disadvantage scenario protoss is just committed, cant back down. And that my friends just one of the many imbalances in PvT, without counting Mules, Mines, Siege units, EMP, list goes on…. Sc2 is Terran biased, I wish blizzard or terran players could acknowledge that but they are having too much fun wrecking protoss players.

[@SilverforceX]

A standard game, Protoss has no chance because its not OP like Terran.

[@kyleladrillono3328]

Oink!

[@user-pr6jx5hz9m]

Really glad to give you your 69th like for this great video! 😂

[@efrainef1823]

yeah!!!!!!! i hate to protoss😃😄😄😄

[@jamread1849]

Always remember Pig, it isnt stating your bias that is annoying. It is claiming to not have any bias and obviously having a bias that is the issue. You tell me you are rooting for Hero even though you are a professional caster that is fine. Just dont lie to your audience.
