Haven't played in 5 years but I'm having a lot of trouble getting up to speed due to lack of content. Spawning pool is the only place I could find honestly I think the best bet is watching GSL games on youtube but maybe I'm missing some great spot to get replays or build orders... that would be a great thing to find out about but all I've managed to do is rip apart VODs. a bit tedious but at least you can pick and choose your favorite players and styles and go from there. | ||

Yesterday I (susprisingly) won 2 late game TvPs (I'm platinum 2). But none of those games had carriers. I just engaged super carefully with liberators, a few mines and 3-3 marine medivac marauder AND a few ghosts (maybe 4 at maximum). It seems to me that engaging late game without libs seems very hard on TvP. I would advise you to follow Pig's channel on youtube. He says that until a certain level, you dont even need ghosts vs ground toss. About carriers...sorry cant help ya. I just had a TvP loss yesterday where my 2-2 full supply bio army did not make a scratch on a turtle toss 7 carrier fleet = ( | ||

Concedirng that the army needs to stimmed, tanks sieged, anti-armor missile launched, widow mines borrowed, cloack must be turned on, units moved arround, medivacs looked after, ghosts also take priority over marines and marauders in tab so in order to stim I need to TAB through the table in to marines marauders... soo many clicks to get the perfect shots at corrupters, etc.. You only want marine marauder medivac mine with maybe a few libs and some vikings. By the late game you can swap tanks for widows and play semi-aggressive and push to gain ground coverage. you want to push buildings like P.F's and missile turrets up so you can run behind those in the engagement and while yes it is hard to use ghosts they are incredibly cost effective and worthwhile to learn how to use properly. Ravens atm are not a big thing either you can add them but you only want like 1 or 2 of them now. Personally I think bio mine with libghostviking is all you will need. From there just play defensive and send small attacks and use ghosts to pick off units. Since your bio army is most marauders they can buy time for your ghosts to snipe and tank some hits.

Spawningtool sucks honestly alot of people put builds and add very useless stuff like when to make marines or when to make each and every depot. A lot of the key concepts of a build are missed as well. (Bio is not dead dw) If you want to find a build the best thing to do is find a player you like, watch what they do and copy it. | ||

When the carrier count gets high and the mothership goes up it just seems like the only answer is bc/raven/ghost? I saw Maru take them down with anti-armor missiles and vikings, but that was back when the AA missiles did a significant amount of HP damage, which they no longer do. | ||

You contain them on 3 bases and go marine ghost medivac mine with a couple of marauders. What I do to beat people masters+ Who do this is I just sit outside their base and throw down nukes 1 at a time. You don't really want to engage by running in to their defense you want to make them throw their interceptors out or the nukes will keep pushing them back. On maps like 16 bit it is super easy as you can nuke the natural main and third all from outside of their base. Anyways you'll want also to be on like 13-14 rax and just keep expanding at most you'll need 5 or more ghosts being produced at a time the rest can be marines. Kiting the interceptors is pretty good too and if you can emp the whole army even if you don't take a crack at the carriers that engagement it forces them to back off and you just want to make them burn $ on interceptors. Eventually, your nukes push them back or they have to engage. Lastly, if you've still got a lot of $ just throw down missile turrets | ||

Moreover, I've had success using Thors + Hellbats versus Broodlords, though keep in mind that terrain can sometimes make engagements difficult. This might sound counter intuitive, but against those two units you really don't want Siege Tanks. Also anyone feel free to correct me if I'm giving out bad information. This has always been my experience, though one of you may have better advice. | ||

I guess I’ll have to try some kind of front push with tanks / liberators while double dropping their main but it’s hard with the phoenix around. Or I can camp as well and build a late game comp but is there even a Terran compo right now that beats carriers and stuff now that the Raven has been nerfed? Really annoying meta. | ||

3rax +1 Stim timing mass mine drop into stim +1 +1 1rax proxy into cyclone 3cc Gas first into siege tanks & Banshee Gas first cyclone hellion and 1-1-1 mine drop into 3rax +1 stim Other varied builds like 2-1-1, CC First or even just quick 3CC builds aren't currently that great right now... and you'll wanna go biomine most games since Chargelots are very good. | ||

I know, it sounds counter-intuitive, but carriers just destroy vikings. you want a pure ground bio army. mass marine, some marauders, medivacs, fast 2-2 upgrades, and as many ghosts as you can. blanket EMP and stim | ||
