LOL: How do you micro your units PvT against a set up push (this is assuming unit count is almost = of course)
Right well you send a few of your zealots out with the goons. Reason being they draw tank fire and mines to some degree. The goons need to be taking out the mines and vults as fast as possible.
Send your other zealots in fairly quickly, and have them run straight for the tanks. If there aren't many vultures left, that's perfect.
Just micro your zealots so they're about 2-3 per tank. once they kill a tank send them to another.
If the terran is bad and clumps his tanks in one big blob, templar are crazy  . If they blob up their tanks, they're easy prey for zealots.
If your zealots all die and he still has 5-6 tanks to your goons.. Run away. You'll lose too many goons.
Basically the attack on the push is kind of over once the zealots have done their job, so make sure to kill as many vultures as possible before the vultures can deplete your zealot count

You know we should have some question thread, where anybody (or just other pro's) can answer it. It would be like LOL thread but more answers! Of course you have to make it prestigious so people want to get it  .

LT, terran 12 toss 9 - terran survives early game and mass dropships. What to do? Where to exp? How to counteract his mobility? What units to build, and all that?
|
what do u mean survive anyways?
|
Well, the game is coming out of the early build-order part and entering the execution phase, and terran takes whatever you throw at him and starts pumping dropships.
|
ok I have a question.
In TvT, how do you stop a wraith rush followed by tanks? I've lost to this strategy from the same newbie twice in TvT. Wraith rush delay my factory, then tank kill me.

uh.. go straight to gol? once his investment in wraiths fails brutally, rape him.
He has to make a whole other building, just like you do. But armory comes quicker. You'll have goliaths to defend in time.. After that it should be easy, you dont need very many to keep wraiths out of your hair..

slippy, in response to ur question i like to think of 2 ways to stop this. and im by no means recognised but i have known ALOT of turtling dropship terrans in my time
1. either start cannoning up and wait for him to drop his shit (have couple of cannons and hts on standby) when he drops his stuff he will have lots of troubles due to hts and his metal will all be clumped perfect for storm. this also is basically what u do on island pvt, same army format (goon/zeal but add in more HT)
or
2. go for a stargate and grab sairs. if u want to take the dropships down faster and u have cash go scouts with movement upgrade (this is also the oldschool l337 cool way ) or grab carriers. if hes using dropships often he will make a couple wraith for support (snipe HTs before land etc?) in that case dont forget to rally ur robfac to ur carriers/scouts/sairs so u have a ready supply of detection. note that this is a much more micro/intelligent build cuz if u miss the dropships en route to destination u got a bunch of sair/scout which dont do anything major except dweb.
erhm when u said 12/9 i assume u mean he cant force his way onto u early game (like in 6/9) and that he can abuse ur cliff for both ur natural and min only?? then drop goons, or probe and a couple cannons on ur cliff, or patrol with the aforesaid air.
if u wanna be classy use DA's to mindcontrol his dropships, mobile terran harass force scouts are also cool to see floating about seeing many people dont make them. and KEEP HIM OFF ISLANDS, or else the game will drag 20-30 more minutes than it should.
edit: one more thing u can play it tvt style and counter drop him with zeal/dt in speed shuttle. works well but it wont take down his dropships, and often if ur not onto it fast they can cripple ur economy and do large amounts of damage by the time uve countered.

And what about the tanks that follow up? What about investing in detection?

gollies > tanks in small numbers
after he gets his ports, he has to build factories, which you already have. you should be ahead if you hold off his wraith with little to no losses
