Yes, because NEITHER goons NOR sairs rape wraiths. -_-

lol ok try out 200/200 sair goon vs my 200/200 tank wraiths lets see whotf wins newb. you wouldnt be able to use dweb effectively ANYWAY because you're too slow to cast it so dont even talk like its a viable strat for you to use. my tanks would rape the shit out of your goons, your sairs would be too busy fighting my wraiths to even cast enough dwebs for it to be effective.

I think it would be nice to be able to switch to carriers later (i.e. there are cliffs to abuse), otherwise it's better going arbiters.

AND scanning a fleet beacon going up may cause terr to overmass golies and get raped by goons. I think it's nice to learn how and when to pull this off, cause it's a nice alternative to arbiter ending.

That's kinda like telling people that there's no use studying classical physics because it doesn't work at the quantum level. We're not all good enough or patient enough and most of us don't have the practice partners worth inventing new strats with. The reason we use these strategies (note: NOT build orders) is because they're PROVEN to be efficient and better unit combos than any random unit combo (i.e. reaver/obs, dt/arbiter, goon/sair, etc.).


but you don't get that point, i'm only saying that it's viable strategy, not denying "good-old" strategies, I'm just saying that this kid with his "1 word answers" don't have any clue what can or can't be done

no, its just he's right... t's arent that stupid to just sit there and not do anything about the sairs, if the t is 200/200 he's going to see the sairs and get something to counter them


what is that something on luna? turrets? where?
Or do you suggest goliaths? Look at those replays and tell me if protoss's army would be countered by goliaths+tanks combo, and even... do you think that corsairs won't shoot disruption web? they are fast enough and have great range for web



umm how about valks/wraiths? lol just shut up you dno what you're talking about =[

Excuse me, did you just suggest that the terran counters mass goon sair with wraith valk? Come again?

Look, I don't think goon/sair is a great build or even really viable, but it's really hard not to make fun of the idiot trying to counter it with terran air. Get a few vessels for emp, some gols, and fight without siegeing the tanks.

i was saying wraiths OR vaulks could counter sairs k. i thought it was obvious enough that you would need tanks to counter the goons but i guess i need to spell everything out for you guys

Please, don't spell it out. Before we only thought you were dumb - now we *know* you are.

Wraiths, the counter to sairs.

This is Tossim1's advice, everyone -_-

I think the topic is fine, just not Tossim's advice on how to counter it.

I also suggest it on R point where almost all Terrans go out with 200/200 all in.


at noob level? yes.


pls see these reps. they are not perfect but there is way how it can be done. Thank you

I won't watch your replays.. do you know why?
Cause if you beat someone using corsair/dweb, you should've raped him without corsairs/dweb

IMO Macro+Scan >>>>>>>>> 2stargates + fleet + reasearch dweb + 4-6 corsairs + wait for mana + great unit control + corsair micro.

again, its just my opinion. But I think you're 6-8 years later in theorycraft
