I remember on that map, Stork lost to Shine so I naturally thought he was referring to Shine. My mistake, it does look imba. Funny thing is Bisu beat Shine on this map of all places. | ||

Reaver splash is far more devastating in the early - mid game skirmishes late game when its harder to dodge storms; THEN storms are more effective than reavers | ||

Not much need for harassment at all. | ||

Flying lost that battle because Stork had more zealots and better dragoon arc. Which made up for his disadvantageous tech tree. Temps do an abstract damage, because they don't actually do any damage, only storm. Reavers do real damage, and it can only help to have reavers. If you have reavers, you pretty much have a shuttle too, and gives you the ability to harass, especially useful because the map was outsider... pretty much made for reavers. | ||

When is there ever a situation where you had small army with high templars? You can't even support hts on one base economy. Flying's army was about the smallest as it can get once a player reaches storm tech.

I'm not sure what you're implying. 1. How is storm damage not real damage? 2. Why won't you have a shuttle with templar tech when all players tech to observers? 3. Why is reaver harass better than templar drop? | ||

he wasnt talking about tech, but the shuttle itself, since reavers are essentially useless without a shuttle. templars are just fine walking along with an army so you dont necessarily have shuttles if you focused on hts. he didnt say reaver harass was better than temp drop, just said that reaver harass is really good on outsider, which it is because the setup makes it very hard to chase down shuttles and you can just fly around killing shit, instead of storm drops which are more of a one big shot and run away kind of thing. | ||

2. Not everyone techs to obs really early. If you watched flying play, his obs tech was really late, so its not like his shuttle is going to get there any earlier. 3. In reaver harass, you can most likely keep ur reavers alive. =) Storm drops might kill more though. | ||

I still don't see how any of these reasoning show that reaver tech can be better than templar tech. You're on a pro team. Do the protosses on CJ really think Stork's tech order in the game isn't disadvantageous to Flying's? | ||

Flying BO was basically super-fast HTs off of two bases. Yet he pushed out after 6 gateways. Early battles simply don't apply to templars. | ||

Hence it is almost by definition impossible to apply to early game situations. Flying BO was basically super-fast HTs off of two bases. Yet he pushed out after 6 gateways. Early battles simply don't apply to templars. relatively early game, early mid game. its obvious what he was talking about, dont quibble over terminology | ||
