Haha, serves you right Russia
Hydra good unit o.O sOs really dropped the ball there, but granted it would have been a difficult hold even without that blunder. Making phoenixes is great against low amounts of Hydras but there was 18, lol.
Edit: Holy mother of introductions! Back to those time, back!

Yeah, effort made a ling-hydra attack and killed all (5-6) Voidrays coming up the ramp in like a few seconds because sOs wasn't looking. ;S

Thx for the quick recap.
Damn, Shine has improved a lot, before he was very cheese heavy but now he can go toe to toe on mid-lategame with very high level Protoss
Edit: RIP Twitch

I was like "WHY WERENT THERE OBSERVERS BEFORE THE RAMP!!" but he skipped the robo... should have had something to see an incoming attack, sloppy play. But that said I dont know how he would have held 18 Hydras anyways, the composition was so wrong to combat that...

Talking about the game where he opened mass air? Well, skytoss was popular last year (and sOs used it very efficiently), but since the last buff to hydras is pretty much dead...
I imagine Robo/Blink + sentries could hold that, but scouting would be critical.

Well going Voidray/Phoenix/Zealot is horrible when the other is going Hydra - Ling. Hydra - Roach is defeatable with Photon+Void+Phoenix, the key being that there are less Hydras so the Phoenix can lift half of them. 18 Hydras was soooooo much, you need Colossi or Storm (I don't think blink stalker is enough is it?)

Just watched game 2 of Paralyze vs. Cure and game 1 of Innovaton vs. MyungSik, and in both games Protoss was going for Colossi-Phoenix style while Terran was going for Bio-Ghost-Viking style.
Games were very entertaining, back and forth and were great even with a lot of mistakes and sloppy play. I must say that I really like this style of PvT with Phoenixes. I don't watch PvT that much so I don't know how much this style is used, but I don't think that it is used much since I've rarely seen it. If it somehow becomes standard in this meta, it will be awesome since the games are really good with it. At least much better than usual PvT styles I've seen.

It has appeared recently, indeed very interesting style. I always thought Phoenix - Colossi is very strong even in PvZ. But Terran doesn't have Fungal so the Phoenixes are sooooo hard to kill! The games are very entertaining for sure

Recently? Chinese Protoss were famous for using this style since WCS 2013 Season 2, if not earlier
I only watched inno vs myungsik game 1, and INno was sooooooo robotic

The style existed but it wasn't mainstream, now it seems to be the new meta. Who knows ^^

That style was used in WoL, it just wasn't popular. I predict that it will be popular right now for some time before Terrans learn how to counter it correctly.

You said "It has appeared recently", becoming mainstream is a different thing.
I have barely watched SC2 the last month or two, but has it really become mainstream? I would imagine if that was the case, then /r/starcraft would be flooded with P whine threads on a daily basis

My english sucks man Not really long, like during this week this style has been "the style" in TvP, that doesn't really count as new meta but a very interesting that many seem to use it now. And to great effect

Ah ok, that's sounds realistic. I don't think it will become the style to play PvT, or at least I don't think it will last too long, Terrans will realize is beatable.

But I definitely enjoy seeing some variation in PvT, that match up has been quite boring for a while. TvZ has gotten slightly more interesting too as the Terran aggression is through the roof, that will calm down eventually though methinks. But reaaallly hoping for those DRG-Innovation type of games that really define good TvZ for me.
Edit: Not in this universe but would be great to see Thors being made against +15 Phoenixes

If Cure regroups and pushes again he should have a great shot to win.
Though he lacks production facilities
