Mass reaver templar: Usually you don't break this. You go avoid it by out expanding the opponent and forcing him out of his base, where you can surround him and kill him, or, you doom drop his main where he isn't fortified. However, if you have to break it, then there are two ways, and they both require being ahead on gas. 1: Doom drop ultra defiler on top of the enemy. Use plague before attacking, and dark swarm when attacking. 2: Trade gas with guardians. Spread them out so that you don't get more than one storm per guardian. Eventually, since you have more gas, he runs out of templar energy and you win this way. You can use some queens for spawn broodling on the templar, too. That helps a lot with gas efficiency. | ||

Regarding protoss, indeed plague is a must vs reaver, I would add to the post above that for me the thing that will make the difference when you reach late game is +2 +3 carap for air units. Guardians is a good way to break defense but you must be able to tank corsaire with scourge. You must have air control basically. | ||

a) Expanding so that the burden of aggression lies with the opponent, then surrounding their attack or trading bases. b) Attacking less heavily guarded spots with smaller forces to force your opponent to move their army around. Eight to twelve cracklings, dropped into the enemy main, will force the opponent to displace many defenders. A multi-pronged attack will force even more displacement. Two lurkers under swarm dropped in one mineral line, plus two lurkers under swarm at a second mineral line, will throw your opponent’s army into total chaos with minimal expenditure of your units.

Ooops... vOdToasT already said it in the first reply :p | ||

Mass turret tank vessel is unbreakable, especially with mine fields (the vultures themselves are quite expendable) for example, in Fighting Spirit when the map is split in half, even being up the middle base is no guarantee for victory, since you don't necessarily have vision on tanks to broodling them, but the Terran can always scan you with like 6 scanners to see where you're planning to attack but they will irradiate your expensive units to death eventually | ||

If I had actually massed sunkens at the bottom of his ramp, I would have made a draw, but I thought of it too late anyway, once he had dark templars out eventually I just ran out of the whole map's minerals | ||
