If you make him add enough marines and more vikings to the mix, you've done your job.

PvT currently reminds me a lot of ZvT in BW - where the "standard" build would involve some muta harass to keep the terran in their base for as long as possible, force turrets and kill the occasional worker/building. The mutas rarely won the game, they just bought time to get the 3rd expo up and tech.

So i should've added VR's at the expense of immortals? Wouldn't he have just run me over with his marauders once he added another couple vikings?


void rays destroy vikings w/o marine support

edit: the 'trick' if you want to call it that, is to keep your void rays moving, always, toward the viking. void rays can still shoot on the move just like phoenixes.

Okay. Seems to make good enough sense. Do you have any replays or anything of void rays being used against this specific unit composition (marauders + vikings) so i can see how one should react to scouting information etc?



I was only expounding on what someone else said above. I don't do that. I prefer brute force zealots w/legs and sentries.

If the terran tries to get feisty just lure him back into your natural where you forcefield him in and let your zealots own him up. gg.

but, whatever you do, don't screw up your forcefields. if you do, back out. don't use you sentry energy to help his army.

A stargate forces T to be more marine heavy, meaning you can tech to 3 gate zealot speed. The whole objective with the void ray is to force T to go a heavier marine composition, which sets your zealot legspeeders very nicely.

I personally open 2gate stargate 2 phoenixes, scout his base and adapt. void ray if he is being marauder greedy. sentry deal with a push up the ramp till the void ray comes if necessary.

I just hate how "unfun" it is to play against concussive shells.

Really guys, marauders? I just go zealot sentry immortal early game and you have enough forcefield to root him down and slap him hard. You can't really take that seriously unless he's got ghosts.

Once you can keep your sentry count high because your zealots/immortals most of the fire concussive shells isn't a problem.

Except one ghost can pretty much completely shut that down with rediculous emp range? Sentry heavy is easily killed once they get zapped. Because you don't have much gas for stalkers with that build, and sentries have a short attack range, you can never snipe the ghosts before they emp.

Why would you ever want stalkers vs marauders? They have 1 more range than a sentry or immortal and its not like you're going to snipe a ghost. Stalkers get owned so hard by both emp [50% hp, as bad as sentries and immortals] and marauders. If you ever beat a marauder army with stalkers you used more than 2x the gas and more minerals than him to win. thats not including emp.

And I don't clump everything together to get hit by one emp either. It's pretty much my basic pvt I haven't been owned by one emp yet

When storm comes out we have a different story..

Major props dawg!


Come to think of it, since that other guy got banned for his made up story about his korean girlfriend, shouldn't this guy be banned for the months (years?) of lying about being some drug baron who in his spare time engages in debates on the internet over computer hardware, you know when not on the run from the feds, or killing some snitch or in a shootout with colombians what ever it is this guy pretends to do

i saw the rep, you can use a ground army to kill his maras, you just need to use offensive forcefields so less maras are hitting your army at one time. also your unit positioning, where you attack, and when you atk are awful. most of the big battles you lose are because half of your army is hitting his buildings inside his base while the other half gets wiped out. also when its late game like that, it'd probably be a better idea to go after his expo instead of getting into his main

I still think marauders and marines should always stim for 25% of their maxed out life instead of 10.

Stim basically has no downside for marauders, ever.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
