Mostly though he just attacked into the choke so was always going to lose regardless. Kind of a shame that we didn't get to see the reapers properly without the Protoss making such a bad engagement. | ||

Reapers with good control will definitely do better than marines and without a doubt offer more utility, however are harder to control and require a substantial amount of skill to use simultaneously with vikings and ghosts. And about what Apollo said, late game TvP, late game is more difficult for the player with smaller economy. Just like Terran can PF anything, Protoss can cannon up the entire map and every base for much less money. As good as drops can be, they can be nullified by protoss without any supply investment, when Terran has to dedicate units to defend toss drops. | ||

True, But I do think its a valid tactic if the protoss go so zealot heavy. Gonna be interesting to see if this "Thorzain special tactic" catch on | ||

The advantage of Protoss in late game is their ability to instantly remax if they have the gates. Mostly though TvP is just about who micro's better in the ball vs ball big battle that decides the entire game. | ||
