The below is a simple analysis on JangBi's PvT against Flash and perhaps a few tips for Protoss players on the PvT match-up prospect.

1. Pylon Walling slows mech advances.

2. Creating multiple cannons surrounding Nexus to kite vulture run-bys.

[image loading]

3. Create 8 Gateways per base to soak up tank damage as well as ring up gateway units production.

[image loading]

[image loading]

4. Psi Storm is often overlooked in favour of Stasis, Recalls or Carriers.

- Psi Storm provides AOE damage and comes as an added tank-busting option to the Protoss ground arsenal before Arbiters or Carriers arrive.

Thanks, and awaiting feedback from the community. Cheers.

Haha, but in all seriousness, JangBi seems like one of the few Protoss players who can take on Flash or Fantasy and had an 80% PvT winrate during his prime.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Dragoons are a perfect counter to vultures and they do provide some cover to your high templars when you mix them in between them as you can see in the clips above, whereby Jangbi uses his dragoons as a cover while storming the tanks.

That's not quite right. If you go for templars PvT you absolutely need to put them in shuttles, there's no other way around it.
If they are not on shuttles they can get killed by vultures, even if surrounded and/or EMP'd as T will have science vessels to counter arbiters.

Also, the mass gateways game was a pretty unique scenario, Jangbi was able to secure 2 mains on a 3 player map and get a serious bank started. I don't have a great understanding of TvP, but (1) getting some gateways up on a second main is a common tip for PvT, and (2) 25 gates is not tenable even with 6 (almost 7) bases, you can see Jangbi's bank burn from 2.5k mins to 0 with just 2 remaxes, so it's not sustainable.

In PvT lategame you need 20+ Gates, as you need to remax faster than the T, quite a common scenario and a common mistake of many lower level players!

Yes, you are right in that shuttles are absolutely needed. But I would also like to point out that unless you manually target the high templars with your vultures, the army surround of dragoons and zealots will draw fire away from the templars.

I don't think you can usually make it up to 20+ so quickly though no, at least not in time for the 2/1 push? I feel like at least back when I was following the game, the 2/1 push doesn't actually give the P much time to take so many bases and add gateways, felt like it was closer to 18 gates w/ ~6-7 @ the second main. Jangbi was exceptionally rich this game lol, though I don't rmr exactly what happened. I do think that once you survive the 2/1 timing push, if you have a bit of breathing room and are maxed again, more gates can't hurt.

Plastering cannons around your Nexus isn't something you do voluntarily, it's something you're forced to do.

You can totally have arround 16-20 gate when the 2-1 push comes.

In fs, natural and 3rd are taken quiclky by p and t, so if p ,with his observer, scouts 3ple command and armory, the most common response is to delay gates + take 4th, optimally another main and add gates there asap. So u will be like 8-10 gate + starport in ur main, and something like 6-8 gate in your 4th by the time the push comes. If you delay his push or can recall succesfully you can add more gates while taking the whole map.

Right, 16-20 sounds reasonable for a 2/1 push, but not 25. I guess Jangbi got one recall off as well, which is probably how he made it up to 25. I guess that ordering makes sense then.

I know I'm fixating a lot on that magical 25 number, but that was 10 extra zealots in the two remaxes he did (maybe it was 3 remaxes? so 15 zeals?), plus 750 extra minerals for the gates themselves, so it's a big commitment rather situational. I think a lower level player trying to copy the mass gates at second main could easily over commit, and I wanted to make sure we knew the right nunbers for the initial big 2/1 push. But thanks for the correction

Yeah honestly I never get storm in PvT in favor of more arbiters or zealot shuttles. Microing minedragging, zealot bombs, statis, dodging emps, saving observers is already enough. I don't need storm on top of all that, not that i've tried.

Besides I would rather have a shuttle full of zealots than 2 HT anyway. anyone else agree?

It depends on the level of your Terran opponent in TvP and his ability to mind read the game. Top Terran players will attempt an initial big push of tanks+vultures once they scanned the fleet beacon or arbiter tribunal and stargates and/or that the stargates just undergo production. That is the timing window that the Terrans will try to exploit, like for example, in game 3 of the recent Flash vs Snow match in the ASL 8, Flash attempts a push once he scanned Snow's main that he was going for carriers and that carriers are not that effective especially when their count is low. On the other hand, you can get storms out before the arbiters or carriers arrive and that may be an option to halt the terran timing push by storming the tanks just like in the Jangbi vs Flash clips in the above.

Another reason is that the dragoons+zealots+storms+carriers/stasis combo is more deadly than the dragoons+zealots+carriers/stasis combo in the late game. You can say that storms are not needed due to having to micro the shuttles and templars on top of all that is required in PvT, but in my opinion, it further adds variety to your game, for instance, having a storm+stasis combo, the science vessels have an extra work of having not only to EMP the Arbiters, but having to EMP the High Templars as well and especially when they are well spread or flanked.

But I don't see it done often in PvT, even in pro matches, perhaps only in PvZ (where cannons are plastered at the entrance of the second main together with gateway,forge to form a blockade). I mean the players would rather pull the probes and send in reinforcements to counter the vultures rather than to sacrifice some minerals to fortify the base with cannons based on my observation. Perhaps, they (the players) feel that it is a waste of resources to plaster cannons around the Nexus?

if you want to fight the 3/2, 3/3 terran army, you will need some storms. But 2/1 push can be dealt with good positioning, good recall timing, backstabs attempts or stasis, basically they way you deal with terrans first big push is the main difference between bad and good PvT players imo. Is at this point where advantages or disadvantages are taken.

if you learn how to unload 4 ht off a shuttle (ideally after 1st tank shot so terran doesnt snipe your hts) and storm groups of clumped tanks quickly, then your PvT is going to improve drastically.
