So after around 2 hours of laddering and various Terran vs Protoss, I've realized something. I completely suck balls at Micro and EMP. I've been Rank 41 masters every season since season 2 and it's been pissing me off. I feel like my skill has plateaued because of my horrible unit control.

First of all, when I try to EMP all my bio gets move commanded into his army of swarming zealots and get eaten up alive.
Second, my ghosts are constantly stuck in the middle of the ball unable to EMP because they are too far away from the target and then 2 HT with full energy comes out and storms my entire army to shreads. My unit control has always been a problem with all my matchups but it seems like in TvP it seems to be shown the most.

Tonight, I will be practicing my unit control through laddering and focusing on my unit control in every game. If anybody is interested in watching and offering suggestions...

If your ghosts are in a separate control group, how does the rest of your army get pushed forward as well?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

You might try to snipe HTs in the future, as opposed to EMPing them. Snipe has a longer range than both Feedback and Storm, so that may help solve the problem of your Ghosts being out of range to EMP. Plus if the HTs are dead instead of EMP'd, there's no chance of them regenerating their energy and coming back to storm your army again later in the game.
