Sea seldom ever able to get the Carriers themselves within Goliath range.  They were mostly just shootin' interceptors, which in the end is a losing game. | ||

If the opponent has any detection they all die in seconds. It is very easy for Protoss to have tons of detection when going Carriers because there's nothing else to use the robo for. 2. Carriers have 4 base armor so it's not even like Wraiths do that much damage. 3. Wraiths cost tons of gas that could go to Goliaths instead. 4. To make any significant number of Wraiths you need extra Starports, which you usually won't have in TvP. Sometimes it works as a desperation move but you'd always rather have a critical mass of upgraded Goliaths. | ||

Wraiths do pretty well vs carriers though, even when they're seen. Unless a lot more resources were put into the Carrier fleet than the Wraith one (which happens a lot, and is why ppl think Wraiths suck vs Carriers). Maybe the problem was Sea had already dumped tons of 'antiair money' into Goliaths, so if he buys a big Wraith fleet as well (which he'd have to, GC had a lot of carriers), even if he beats down the Carriers, Gol + Wraith ain't so great as a big part/mainstay of his army vs goons and HTs (the rest of GuemChi's army). (?) But I could be wrong. Maybe Sea just didn't have the gas. | ||

Was kind of expecting more M&M since he already had invested into it, I even recall the TLnet attack where he used it versus Carriers right on Blue Storm | ||

When counting in upgrades, goliaths will have higher dps in a normal mech game (where terran will not have gotten air upgrades). This makes goliaths the better choice in most games. Unless the terrain hoses the goliaths, like it sure did this game. Gols are great and cost-efficient, but lack ultimate mobility. Also, IIRC gols do a split antiair attack, which means wraiths actually do a bit more damage vs the carriers' high armor than gols do. | ||
