fungal doesnt kill banes.
Those storms+forcefields were pretty much the best that any protoss has ever done, not enough. Muta/ling gives such sick map control against protoss that even when you are incredibly careless with units and poor at protecting your expos like Leenock was in that game its so fucking hard.
I'm sure he was under the assumption that Leenock had rebuilt them elsewhere, and it certainly makes no sense that Leenock didn't.

man, shame its moletrap because the first two games were just fucking insane
anyway, leenock won because it was a zerg favor map, not that i have problem with it because protoss too maps that favor them in the gsl.
doesn't make sense because building infestation and greater aspire takes ages.

I forgot they changed it in the last patch. It used to.

its so bad how stupid zerg wins have to be because its impossible to ever actually engage protoss armies.we're forced to basetrade as standard play.
Yeah storms + forcefields are actually so good against ling/baneling. That's why you see roach/hydra much more often.

Naniwa's micro was impressive. Those storm+FF combo's vs chasing banelings... niiiiice
failing to FF off banelings, blinking into banelings, walking zealots into banes.
but yeah he played perfect trololololol.
not to mention that his minerals at some point were more than 1k
best protoss indeed.

If you think anything in sc2 today is even remotely perfect, Brood War will blow your mind.
and the instant naniwa forced an engagement the entire zerg army died without scratching the protoss ball.
Nah. Leenock had 130 supply and ton of spread out bases when that happened. He would have still remaxed before Nani could destroy all the tech.
IF he had those 10 stalkers, he might've saved the Mothership since the mutas died almost immediately after the Mothership.
If he saved the stalkers AND his mothership, which was very possible if not blinking into banelings, he could've certainly won
He FF'd off nearly 100% of the time, and when he walked the zealots into banelings it was because it was that or have them hit the templar because he had no way of stopping them then (no FFs left). The blink was the only tiny mistake he made and thats because he didn't know they were behind the spines. You have no idea how sick it is that he can storm then cast nearly perfect forcefields a split second later. You never ever see control like that because its fucking hard and you have nothing as zerg that demands that reaction time.
AND if Leenock fell asleep for like 5 minutes he definitely would have won!
Watching the replay, the mutas were still around after the mothership. 10 stalkers wouldn't have stopped them from killing it. 20 maybe. It still wouldn't have ended the game either way.
They did found the one human being in the world who has some chemistry with him, right? They should marry.
yeah its true zerg have no way to near instantly kill the entire protoss army with only spending energy.
cant argue against that.
Even though Panda and I go at it over PvZ we both agree Terran and particularly ghosts are even more bullshityeah
storm vs emp
Yeah pretty much this, it just seems he's a bit inexperienced with mothership play atm, however the progress he has made in Korea is remarkable, once he irons out a few issues like building placement of cannons (><) and learns mothership play and anti muta play a bit more he'll do much better. PvZ is by far his weakest match up, I want to see how his PvT is at the moment.
yeah
storm vs emp

i was about to say maybe we should ask terran gaf how complicated they think it is to spam F and T in a small area. but apparently striek doesn't think protoss are rewarded for having better micro and that zerg apm is spent arranging overlords into pretty flowers.
then again, you could change that 'storm' picture to 'snipe' too. >_>
*cough*
I would say his anti-muta play was just fine. He had enough cannons to minimize base damage, and his storms killed most of the mutas.
That's true, he actually suffered much less damage from Mutas than Code S Protoss Players do (eg MC, Puzzle and Huk). So I'll take that back. His anti muta play was pretty good, needs to iron out a slight more issues though.

What happened to Nestea's ZvT? It's terrible now.

They're both terrible. Moletrap just went "Nestea has no answer for this, he has nothing left...oh wait he just killed all of Polt's army."
