6:45 That was indeed charge micro. (For those not aware its possible to retarget charge to a different enemy unit after it's cast. This lets a zealot charge for a MUCH longer distance than normal but you have to be very quick with it. Charge needs to activate on something in range and you have to tell the Zealot to attack something else before they charge into their original target.)

Hero sends the first two zealots to attack the SCV building the third command center. Then sends the next two zealots after the siege tank. Charge doesnt take them the full distance to the tank but they do get past the wall on either side.

One goes after the tank and the other after a marauder. Then Olivera manually targets the zealots with his army which is enough of a distraction for the stalker to kill most of the marines when nothing is shooting back at them.

So this is the first practice test realm balances.. Oliveira should have gotten a bit gerthy with his liberators...

floating 1k minerals and supply blocked for a minute 😂 best protoss in the world.

Theorycrafting: I think because of the new energy ability, and the ease of which protoss can now scout, we will see less buildorder variety. Anyone?

I do prefer the ability to effectively play early game.
Protoss changes allow them to use better tech earlier. But leaves them vulnerable to early attacks.

They should have kept battery overcharge and added energy overcharge, but make every nexus able to energy overcharge 😊

What’s with all the sexual commentary remarks/ references and awkward weird vibe moments

The lack of protoss tools to break a defensive terran is obvious in these games. Terran have it way to easy to defend, even when Oliveira had like 1 tank and a few other other units, and hero had 10 zeaklots and a group of stalkers, there was nothing hero could do, because high ground tank destroys everything. It's just a joke how easy terran have it.
If protoss looses that much in the early game, and have that big of an advantage in army units, there is NOTHING protoss can do.
Balance of this game is a joke.
