EPTI've been getting back into HOTS lately, and have had some really fun PvP's using a Phoenix/Carrier build that I normally use in WoL. This time however of course there are adjustments based on Tempest and whatnot, so there have been some really fun ones today while I was streaming that I thought I'd post so that if you have HOTS you can take a quick look. Protoss players who lament in the boring state of PvP with colo v colo battles in WoL, raise your hopes!
DUCKVILLE vs Apparatus - 38 minutes - Newkirk City - Phoenix into Carrier as standard, Tempest later on, and Colo/Stalker/Tempest from Apparatus iirc: http://drop.sc/281791 (If you don't have HOTS and you want to have a quick look you can check out the VOD here.)
This was my second game of the day, it was pretty cool to hit the new map Newkirk city which I find a bit of a weird map but still fun to play on.

Phoenix harassment like a muta clump!
Got to mid/late game and had some interesting battles, positioning and engagement strategies were the important part of this game

Late game Carrier/Tempest/Mship vs Mship/Stalker/Tempest engagement
DUCKVILLE vs Fedazilon - 35 minutes - Daybreak - Phoenix into Carrier again, this time sticking almost to pure Carrier. Great harassment Stalkers from Fedazilon but he had no ups and a really late third: http://drop.sc/281790 (If you don't have HOTS and you want to have a quick look you can check out the VOD here.)
This was a game that did show the weakness of the build to blink stalker mobility and multi-attacks, given that both Carriers and Tempest are really slow

Cloaked Carriers against a few Tempest along with a huge amount of Stalkers...
DUCKVILLE vs goodTimes - 45 minutes - Newkirk City - Phoenix into Carrier/Tempest from me, and Stalker/Colo into Tempest/Stalker/Archon from goodTimes: http://drop.sc/281789 (If you don't have HOTS and you want to have a quick look you can check out the VOD here.)
This one was a huge game, and at the end my FPS started dying because of all the high-power units on the map along with Mothership cloak, but the battles were pretty cool.

Tempest vs Carrier/Tempest/late Phoenix!
I know it's not a "super viable meta-game changing" strategy, but it is fun. And isn't that what we play for?
Cheers
