On some maps it's not plausible to deny Terran's third... which is perfectly fine, as long as Protoss keeps expanding in response. | ||

This seems like a good idea but Flash moves when he hits 200/200. You'll die before you have tanks up. | ||

The idea is not to rely on T tech to beat Flash, it's to use excess money P has while maxed out to build a complimentary army of only siege tanks. Stop it with the TvT crap that's not what this suggests at all. He timing pushes. And Protoss does not have excess money while maxed out against Flash like when they are against other Terrans, since he overruns their expansions. | ||

Yep, so Toss still needs to fight him normally in the early to mid game. When Toss survives till late can and has enough money for carrier switch, then the DA's can be employed. (research MC beforehand if going for this strat in the long term) | ||

Against Flash you will be hard pressed to match his insane multitasking and APM already, you will lose trying too much time spent trying to get MC quickly and getting SCVs out alive, or fall behind trying to manage two race's worth of supply count/macro. Obviously recalls to get SCVs out will be difficult as well, since arbiters are always expected in TvP. This is more "gimmicky" that practicing a well crafted cheese/all-in strategy, which would be more reliable and actually worth the practice time. | ||

At the pro level it is stupid to rely on something that is this unreliable. MCing a SCV and getting it out alive from enemy territory, and then watching over 2 races is just insanely hard. Unless you have a reliable way for sneaking a SCV out, the chances of pulling this off is ridiculously slime.

This is more "gimmicky" that practicing a well crafted cheese/all-in strategy, which would be more reliable and actually worth the practice time. I mentioned before that getting the scv will be the hard part. It's not a reliable pvt strategy for sure but it's an option in the late game that can be taken advantage of if T does not watch his scv's well. Why not apply a strategy (although it sounds crazy) that has potential to put P ahead when P is deadlocked on bases with T anyway. Also T wont even see the arb if you're recalling out the scvs so not sure what you meant there. | ||

You can always recall a Dark Archon (immune to mines!) into his base, then recall the mind controlled scv back to your base :-p | ||
