I'm not a ZvP specialist, but afaik that matchup is not considered broken on the highest level (that solely counts)? Especially on lower levels some matchups/units/stategies seem kind of imbalanced, but if the pros show that you can deal with it, it might still be annoying for us, we have to endure it. Also: Reaver has it's own tech-building and upgrades that cost money, generally requires shuttle+ shuttle-upgrades, cannon-protection to be defensive, and to be offensive, the reaver has to have support-units. A game is dynamic, Protoss cannot just start pumping reavers and win, there are many factors and decisions to be considered. So only looking at the 100 gas that the unit costs is too much of a simplification I would say. | ||

When going for a DT build, the standard variation gets cannons to keep enemy DTs at bay. 3.) Or if you don't prefer quick core openings, go for 2 gate zealot fast expands or nexus first; both of which use cannons. | ||

Can be found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/games/11567_Flash_vs_Jaedong Whenever I know the opponent, the date, the map or pretty much any detail about a game that I'm looking for, I use TLPD, and 99% of times I find the game with a VoD or all the info I need to find it on YT. edit: You're welcome. | ||

On the right of this very site, teamliquid.net, you find the TLPD, the TeamLiquidProgamingDatabase. There is a Broodwar section. Chose your player, FLash and JD on page one. Chose the "Games" option. Chose a date or a time period. Click on your game, the little cross at the left side tells you whether there's a Vod linked there or not. I didn't know that, and it's higher quality than what I linked to him. Awesome sauce | ||

This question is for both vulture only map control mines and the vulture + tank mines used when engaging in battle. | ||

This question is for both vulture only map control mines and the vulture + tank mines used when engaging in battle. Map Control Blocking expansions Recall Defense Proctecting your push vs flanks Can be used in front of pushes by AI, since you can program it to kill the mines as it moves forward When doing a fake double push, or variations, they're normally planted in front of dragoons to make them retreat, also tanking two hits. Can be planted behind if the dragoon count is not too high (otherwise they can just block and kill the vulture or move forward to kill the tank and ignore the mine) | ||

And recall defense is so hard late game, so much APM is required to turret and mine up the necessary areas, and if they find one weak spot you're screwed anyway. fs is actually a pretty small map. he shouldnt be able to dodge your army late game that easily. the only realistic way for protoss to win lategame is to drop some great recalls. if he tries to walk around and control the map on fs theres no way he can slip past your massive army. siege up some tanks in the middle expo area, mine up all the paths youre not going to take and then march down on side of the map whilst hugging either the middle walls or the outer edges. if he chooses to dodge you he should be slowed down either by the mines meaning you can slowly creep up towards him, take some fire from tanks in the middle of the map, or hes just going to be too slow to do anything and you can go on marching and just obliterate everything. usually the side you pick is the side that has all his newer expos, meaning you can split up 4 or 5 tanks off your army and attack every other base in the nearby vicinity, whilst keeping your main army in a position that forces toss to either fight you, or you go base race him and destroy all his gates.

And recall defense is so hard late game, so much APM is required to turret and mine up the necessary areas, and if they find one weak spot you're screwed anyway. You always have to keep an eye on their army movement, when you attack, so that you can pull back part of your army to defend at home. Generally speaking, you should always attack the natural that is closest to your bases and watch out, if Protoss prepares to engage or to counter. Then he is atleast losing a base for the threat of a counter because his army has to take a longer route. If he wants to counter, just leave a couple tanks to kill the nexus and go back with the rest. You should almost always not try to take out a main base, if it has a lot of gateways already. It is just way to costly with templars on high ground and the occasional zealot a-move down the ramp. Rather concentrate on taking out the natural and 3rd base locations. You don't have to move up a ramp to kill those nexuses or face large production cycles. There is not much to say about recall defense, you just have to get better at it, Terran doesn't require more apm than Protoss for nothing. At least on Fighting Spirit, even if Protoss managed to get all 3 corner mains up, that way you can still win by keeping map control and denying all other naturals and thirds, while having 4 bases + center expansion. | ||
