Why didn't flash have enough skillz to build wraiths + EMP science vessels versus carriers? Stealth wraiths pwn also carriers can't run away from them so you can kill em quickly and all intercepters with em die. Here is the rep. http://speedy.sh/nU8KB/Flash-vs-Jangbi-1.rep Conclusion. Flash = big noob. | ||

You must take out observers then bam bam bam. Then take out observers then bam bam bam. But flash is still a noob after watching that rep^^ | ||

Also look at how much money he wasted on em. Instead of just building 12 wraiths and 1 science vessel(for EMP). Lets look at the costs also. 1 science vessel = 100 minerals 225 gas. 12 wraith cost = 150 * 12 + 100 * 12 = 1800 minerals and 1200 gas. Total together 1900 minerals and 1425 gas. 19 goliaths cost 1900 minerals and 950 gas. So instead of building 19 goliaths which run around not doing much damage you can build superforce and pwn those noobs. Besides the protoss guy didn't even bring arbiter with his carriers. What kind of pro is that? So much fail. To speed things up build 4-5 starports. Ah btw the the defensive matrix on the wraith makes em killing machines. I forgot if you could irradiate carriers but if you can then do that as well. Epic pwnage guaranteed. | ||

The biggest reason however, is that once Protoss knows wraiths are being built, he only needs to build a few corsairs and an obs fleet, which will result in obliterated wraiths before they can gun down all the obs. So for this reason alone, wraiths are only viable as a one-shot surprise counter. | ||

It just that you generally wont see or have a reason to build that many starport AND THEN create wraith with 0-0-0 upgrade against carriers because you have probably 12 factory with probably 2-2 or 3-3 mech army to produce 12 golliath at the same time. Golliath also does decent on the ground too, while wraith are kinda bad on the ground and even worst when the protoss ground army is probably have 2-2-2 or 3-3-3. Also he is killing interceptor which are pretty pricey and can add up. Here old video of Boxer glory day where he used medic to flare blind the observer and then snipe carriers incase you havent seen. Here is at 5min EDIT: Cant find the game, it too old so this clip will have to suffice. EDIT 2: There is also lock down to counter carriers but it kinda unorthodox. | ||

The point is even though a unit maybe a good counter, it is not economically the best choice nor is it the safest if everytime I saw carriers I could hit the easy button and produce any unit I wanted then cloaked ghosts are the ultimate counter as they snipe interceptors and burn through the protoss economy better the wraiths. But in the end, Terran goes.mech and has tons of factories plus ground upgrades on mech so the best choice is go mech. | ||

Btw how can ghosts snipe intercepters if they do 10 damage per shot? You build many of em and shoot 1 interceptor at a time? Also what does mech means? | ||

Yeah and flash didn't do it in a LONG game which is why he is noob. Anyway nobody told me what is mech yet. Ok never mind I found it. Mech means factory based army.

Epic pwnage guaranteed. Might even bring some SCVs for repairs. Besides you can COMBINE(hehe very clever) the boxer medic strategy with stealth wraith, EMP and defense matrixes and SCVs. That's epic MULTIPWNAGE right there! Guaranteed! | ||
