I used to be very into professional SC2. Stopped watching after realizing Protoss was always going to be a gimmicky race. But yeah, I very rarely ever ran into

I used to be very into professional SC2. Stopped watching after realizing Protoss was always going to be a gimmicky race. But yeah, I very rarely ever ran into others who watched professional SC2.

It's an interesting phenomenon with Protoss, certain players are highly strategic like sOs, herO, and Classic. Part of that is the tri-partite tech structure, you go from cyber core to 3 different techs, and scouting which 1 or 2 it is is HUGE for opponents, thus the hiding/masking. Compare that to Terran, who will not have a Starport without a Factory, or Zerg, who is by its nature the least gimmicky race IMO. You might want to check out some Brood War, it has its gimmicky strats but IMO it's less strategic than SC2...there is more "counter-play" with a "countered" unit composition/strat, especially if your early-game micro with workers and low unit counts is top notch. I'll link a great match from recently, hope you enjoy :) https://youtu.be/oPLSoFyVjes?t=5776 https://youtu.be/oPLSoFyVjes?t=5776
