Of course, ghosts aren't standard against carriers either. I was wondering because Vessel can still help clear observers and D-matrix, but it costs a lot of gas. Ghosts also cost a lot of gas. Building both is like going Defiler/Ultra/Guardian/Scourge imo. Kind of hard to get away with. | ||

Observers aren't as important in carrier strategies though; the standard is for terran to basically stop building vultures and go tank/goliath, so you don't need to detect mines. You still want some observers, but they're not as essential. Also I don't remember exactly how D-matrix works, but I think it reduces all instances of damage to 1? If that's what it does, then it's not very good against interceptors. Edit: Anyway I need to go now for an hour or so, someone keep liquipedia updated please | ||

However in situations like that last game when the P gets quite a way ahead of the T it just seems to let the T back into the game. If the P had concentrated on ground army and getting basses he would have unassailable grip on the game and could probably have denied the T a 3rd and strangle him out. I’ve seen it quite a few times before when the P has a big lead and goes Carriers and it effectively just surrenders the lead and lets the T macro up again. On most maps I'd agree, but I think on Blue Storm going for carriers was fine, he just needed to actually use them instead of just sitting with his army in the middle of the map doing nothing. According to the OP Shuttle won g3 but the event is no longer on air, did mong win g4? | ||
