Those who afterwards message you to tell you what a horrible player you are because you didn't have enough APM, while they smashed their head way more often on the keyboard (which is the only way I see many getting their APM, for sure it isn't managing anything useful).

In a direct engagement I see zerg quite easily winning with corruptors. How is Terran going to win? I have seen people saying Liberators, and I tried it a few times, but liberators died so fast, with plenty of interceptors left. Battlecruisers with full energy work in a straight up engagement, however add release interceptors + HTs and that option is gone. Unless I manage to be able to fight him before he has critical mass of carrier / when I got a huge air lead, the only way I have been able to beat toss air armies is by making a missile turret field right outside his base without him noticing, and hoping he has the ratio tempests/carriers wrong. (Or forgot about HTs). | ||

you make vipers, he makes high Templar you need 7 carriers to 1-shot a corruptor upwards of 20 corruptors to 1-shot a carrier. that's 42 supply vs 40 respectively while carriers cost at least twice as much. on paper it works but practically speaking, it doesn't. all it takes is one storm and your ideal fight is ruined. then there's the fact that carriers can carry over and hit ground units too. I don't know, it comes down to the high Templar. as for people thinking that Vikings > carriers, no they kinda don't, surprisingly. it's been like this since WoL. the dps is too high and Viking too squishy. | ||

Thanks :D Reminded me of the same thing hehe, I even wrote a big strategy piece way back in the day featuring a similar turtle toss strat for rush hour 2 pvz haha > _< Though I think I called it Sim City toss. This made me want to play some SC2, but dont think I should - seems like it could waste a lot of time hahah :D | ||

Having diversity in strategy is good, hots devolved into either turtle-fests or all-ins at some point and, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think we're seeing so much of this nowadays. | ||

Nonetheless, I always love teamliquid write ups and their high quality. I just really hope that some glaring flaw in this style is found so that it never becomes remotely close to meta; as I just don't want starcraft to be about camping behind static defense. | ||

If anything maybe Terrans will start using nukes to combat this style. One can dream | ||
