TVP - Can Mass Liberators Counter Protoss Air

pinky29 57 Posts October 23 2020 10:14 GMT #1 Here is a quick clip to my question from SuperNova vs a 6.2k Protoss. If you max out on Liberators can you counter all Protoss air. Observe and comment. Now he did have 3/3 but he also cast anti-armor from Raven https://www.twitch.tv/root_supernova/clip/CourageousUgliestStapleDansGame

In theory you could emp every single High Templar and kill all the Archons early. In that case mass liberators massacre every single Protoss air unit combination if you have 30+ liberators and a few anti-armor missiles. But in practice that does not work. A few storms and you have lost the game. Liberators are great vs ground units but it is better to fight the air units with other units (marines, vikings or thors) and only use the liberators vs air once all the ground units are gone.

But no, I remember earlier this year some terrans tried to make 6-8 libs when toss went to mass carrier to deal with the interceptors. But the interceptors need to be pretty much perfectly stacked and the toss just got a few phoenix out to easily deal with the libs up front

As long as you're able to maintain vision of the libs with revalation or obs, tempests checkmate libs. Additionally, if you can find, or force the primary target of the libs and pull it out of the clump, their AoE is far less effective.
