but then if you're way ahead you could do any unit combo and be fine | ||

But when I think about it Macro is a very important factor in the TvP game and it might just hurt your ground unit count pretty badly. But then Disfunctional tanks will really help you and lots of Terran players don't spread their tanks out so I think you could pull it off. | ||

Obviously it can be put to great use if you have excess stargates, since you have the fleet beacon up anyway, but is it possible to play sair/goon straight through? | ||

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

As a T player, I've only had sair/goon done on me twice in a real game, both of which were on Luna. It worked better than I thought it would, since the P was able to stop many of my attacks, but he never really was able to outmass me and control the map. Eventually, I just outmassed him. | ||

Vultures will speedily zoom out of the disruption webs and can deal lots of damage, as microing the dragoons against vult/mine is hard to do while controlling the corsairs too. Corsair/d-web just in general takes too much micro its difficult to pull off. Nal_rA\'s reaver/corsair/d-web is so hard in that sense as well. | ||

If there is a point in the game, when you see terran rolling towards you, you have to attack him in that moment, because he will just siege his tanks close to each other very fast. Webs will own these tanks If you see teran slowly pushing towards getting his 2nd expo with tanks spread out, mining fields and turrets, you should abandon corsairs and concetrate on macro, getting more expos and getting carriers later. Webs will just not help you a lot. | ||

You know what is your problem? And what is problem of nearly entire BW gaming community. Self-non-adaptness. Almost all ppl (you are included) are too chained to typical strategy. Typical BOs. Who can perform them better, or who has more luck, that wins. That's it. No exceptions. If you would try to "learn" something new , to invent your own style, not copying all these 8/9pylon 11/17 gate 12/17 gas etc etc., then you could see that these strategies could be performed on same skill level, it's just matter of using brain, not only game-after-game mode. pls see these reps. they are not perfect but there is way how it can be done.

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.). | ||

Arbiter: Arbiter low on mineral cost, consumes lot of gas 100m 350g, 4 supply. Abilities cloak,statis,recall. Statis cost 100 mana = 2.5 statis per full mana. Corsair: Corsair average mineral and low gas cost. 2 supply = 2 sair per 1 arbiter. 2 sair cost 300m 200g Abilities disruption web. Web costs 125 mana = 2 web per 1 sair. So this makes 4 web per 2 sair. Considerably 2 sair can be compared to an arbiter, though the mineral cost is higher but lategames it can do. If u use arbiter for statis it mostly dies to goliaths because there is like 1 second casting time. Corsair won't die so easily. Imho sair is a better companion to carrier than arbiter. | ||

arbiters give you cloaking, stasis, and recall. sairs give shitty tiny dweb that costs 125 mana, and are pretty good against wraiths. stasis lasts longer than dweb, units can easily move out from under dweb... arbiters are a way better choice | ||

Their mobility is higher and therefore won't die so easily. Statised units cannot be attacked, webbed units may be easily stormed or crushed by goons/carriers. Sairs own wraiths and also may kill flying buildings or vessels. | ||

Look at that rep, Satanik makes an 1exp vs 1exp fight PvT and wins with this strategy. Sure, perhaps the POL-B player is under his level, but still. I don't think this strategy is worse than anything else PvT, you just need really good timing. Ok,I know he already had a big advantage since he got an earlier exp, maybe that is why it worked so well =P . http://www.wgtour.com/upload/tournament/broodwar/5459NWPolB2.rep | ||

I wonder how many wraiths would it take to kill 10 sair.... hmmm maybe like hundred... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

YES I should play on US West but to me US East is like my "home" cuz that's the first server I started playing SC on and it's difficult for me to play on any other servers unless I'm playing PGT or something. Besides I know many gosu's in east anyways so it don't matter.
