Tell that to the countless protoss who lose the game to 1 mine drop.

When has a pro Protoss lost to a single widow mine drop?

Oh, you know, innovation just does a build where the only thing he does is spam widow mines and he is probably the best terran player on the planet. I am sure he’s never won a game with that build, though.

You’re 2 of 2 with lying about previous meta games. I don’t think it’s very intelligent to just take your word here.

And we’re back to trolling rather than admitting you were wrong.

Reality trolls tehbatz. I love it.

You’ve never seen innovation do his mass widow mine drop build, even though he did it constantly, because you are an expert who has seen all of innovations games, and this proves players don’t lose to widow mine drops, which is why phoenix first builds are better than oracle first builds.

That’s your argument and it’s a trainwreck. Just admit that widow mine drops kill protoss players, and that having an oracle and tagging a medivac is a pretty good idea.

I think I’ve seen all of his games in GSL and other premier tournaments this year now that you mention it. Are you confusing INnoVation for Maru? Because I distinctly remember him doing it against Dear the ro.8 in the first GSL of the year.

And yes, more phoenix were the correct response to Maru’s play in the game I refereed to.

Repeat after me:

“Widow mine drops kill protoss players and it’s very useful to use oracles to tag medivacs.”

Repeat after me, “I’m not funny or interesting and shouldn’t try to be.”

You can’t admit when you are wrong and would prefer to tie yourself into knots rather than admit an obvious truth.

I do admit when I’m wrong. In fact, I did so in this thread. I acknowledged I called a game incorrectly and congratulated Neeb. You ever heard of projection, buddy?

Ok. Then repeat after me:

“Widow mine drops kill protoss players and it’s very useful to use oracles to tag medivacs.”

Both of them abused it.

Maru did it his whole run in S1 in particular against classic, dear, and possibly trap iirc…aka best pvters int he world

Innovation did it a lot as well. for example he used them to eliminate stats in S2 iirc

WIdow mine drops are strong harassment that phoenix are very strong against.

Did I regurgitate your garbage properly?

Every top terran abused it. It was THE meta for years. Terrans would cry about how the only way to beat protoss was widow mine drops and then they exploded into a fit of rage when blizzard said they were going to make widow mines be revealed after firing. Innovation STILL does it as one of his core strategies.

Typically mine drops are dealt with without having them tagged. The vision is unessesary because the Protoss already respond as if they had perfect vision.

How many phoenix does it take to stop a mine drop? How many phoenix do you have when the first mine drop hits? How many mines does it have in it? Will a double min drop hit? What angle will it come from? What timing does a typical drop hit on for each map? What about for common proxy locations?

How many mines are in the drop. Are there stalkers that are also made?

Answer the questions. If you can’t answer every one of these, you are a dead protoss.
