sick article, always cool to read about very recent trends in BW strategy.


i agree.

would love the same thing for the protoss units.

I'm not sure what could such an article focus on. I mean, Protoss sure has flair, but could you break it down to units besides DA and Scouts? General community response to protoss units: Zealot, Dragoon, High Templar, Corsair, Reaver, Archon: standard. Arbiter: gay. DT: gay. Carrier: gay.
Maybe shuttles are underused Bulldog or elevator: gay:-p
Or special abilities? There again, I only see Maelstrom, Feedback and Disruption Web worthy of mentioning, as psi storms, stasis fields and recalls are used frequently.


how about hallucination, early game maelstorm, corsair in PvP or PvT, scouts (underused).

i don't know

maybe some tricks that were used in very very old games that might still work (like in zvz yellows +1 carapace attack).
I am not good with quotes

Firebat will only deal 50% damage versus both Hydras and Lurkers.


Firebats only do 25% to lurkers, since concussive does 25% to large and 50% to medium. Lurkers are considered large, right?

If I was crazy enough to play Terran, I'd make much greater use of ghosts with Lockdown in PvT (hey, you need all the required buildings anyway). Whether toss goes arbiters or carriers, lockdown helps a lot - in the former case by preventing stasis (and probably netting free arbiter kills), in the latter case by trapping helpless carriers within range of goliaths, allowing you to make more tanks and vultures instead of 60 supply worth of gollies. Yes, it requires sick skill to pull off, but if we can land storms, you can land lockdowns.

I’m a huge fan of Nukes. Nothing says “This is my game, get out” like a well placed Nuke.


so what does your nukes say in our games pholon? "this isnt my game, I should get out"?

edit:
great read btw, even as a zerg player.

Great article! Doesn't matter that I don't play terran, this was one of the best articles I've red on TL. Terran is really evolving thx to Flash and Fantasy.
