Hehe, look at game 2 iG.Sarens vs ToT)Suker( in the nationwar France vs Spain this weekend. It was on Gaia, Sarens was holding the center firmly and Suker went 4-5 stargates carriers (they both held about half of the map). Late game, Sarens made about 8-10 ghosts with lockdown (+nuke, for the fun factor i guess :p). I don't think Suker had seen them coming since they appeared suddenly coming from a dropship (though Sarens had also used nuke in game 1, so he could have guessed he liked ghosts).

Ok, Sarens has 250+ apm so speed isn't a problem and the game already looked strongly in his hands. He could have made more goliaths instead of the ghosts, but the ghosts were pretty sure to win him the game so it seems like a good choice.

here it comes : "a nuke is cheaper than a carrier"
if he's into carriers ... you can use a nuke per carrier and it will be worth it ...
carriers are expensive imo ...

and a goliath missile is even cheaper than a nuke, you can buy the goliath missiles at the price of 0 minerals and no gas and it's even more worth it ;-)

since i play sc vanilla mpstly i really havnt much choice but to use ghosts

with like 6-7 observers the wraiths are useless, and no gol range. but you definitely learn to lockdown good

the problem is that teching for ghost (researching their abilities )takes time.u cant attack in the meantime.terran is most vunerable in the early game.for example u have to go tanks and vultures against protoss.build tank fast coz of the harass of goons.
if u have good defense and u start teching for ghost,ur enemy will just take the whole map.mass units!

I think many people have the same problem as you, don't know why though. Try to use a proxy to access wgtour maybe.
For the replay, I've mirrored it here if you want : http://brood.catyoul.org/sarens vs suker gaia.rep

And it's that too you need goliaths too if you go ghosts, ghosts can't kill carriers(well, yes, but it'll take hell of a lot time) and that Lockdown won't affect very long.

it's not a ghost rush, just tech slowly through the game while you fight with vult + tanks, and you only need lockdown for skills
