They do, you just need a good position and not be outmacro'd.


Is this really true? Serious question, mech vs p has always frightened me.


Yes it is, if you have enough upgrades and a good angle for you zealots. The terran will cannon some immortals, but the dps of the surviving immortals will eventually beat the thors.

Mass hallucination of immortals/collosus would also confuse the thor cannon


That's a big part of the reason for the raven. Thor viking is insanely good, you need chargelots and immortals to counter it.

Finally a pro who uses a Thor based strat vs a Protoss.
I really got frustrated, that it would not be viable on higher skill lvls.
I nearly switched to bio. Thank you ThorZaiN for giving me
confidence back to continue using it...

I think it comes down to timing. As the thor numbers rise, you get in more and more trouble. As soon as he saw it, I think pumping out 2-4 immortals and just going in would have helped a lot. Mass thor is just silly if you let it get out of hand, which we just saw.

You just can't let a terran reach a critical mass of thors.

Once they hit a large enough number immortals and zealots don't really do much, so you need air but that has it's own issues.

So you just have to make sure he can't get that critical mass.

I'm going to be a thorzain fanboy here. I remember tyler saying that mech is dumb and impossible against protoss a few months ago when I posted it as a suggestion for Jinro vs MC.

Then Jinro proceeded to roll over MC with mech. This is karma tyler

Still love you though.



I heard him say the exact opposite and mech was the future of TvP like a month ago

nice build by thorzain but...he totally blew me away with how he did it, there are so many questions how to play mech vs P and he answered them all. how to get a fast expo with the mech production getting started? how to not get outmacroed? perfect scouting, perfect macro with a totally new build. the armor upgrades, like he knew tyler would go colossi...

this was brilliance in every bit of his game and i'm protoss player

Heh, Thor Mech is unstoppable if you max.


It's stoppable, it's called chargelot/immortal, throw some VRs in the mix and its over. Tyler's just playing this game the wrong game



That's questionable, if you have the Thor/Hellion/Viking mix, it is not easy at all to stop. A 200/200 army with a Thor center will start to 2 volley carriers 0.0.


When charge is up hellions stop being that important, all zealots need to do is hit once, if you got enough warpgates you can just resupply indefinitely, some mix in some HTs as well, dunno why, but it seems to work nicely. Once hellions die zealots surround thors and it's over.

Except Thors 1 shot HT and 2 shot Stalkers and Zealots :|


They 2shot stalkers and zealots?

Er...no. Bad math is bad. +3 Thors 3 shot Zealots and Stalkers. Forgot that whole shields thing...

You have to put on early aggression if T goes mech in TvP. When you wait for a 200/200 army T has an advantage (maybe P sometimes can do something with positioning, blink-stalker-micro...) but all in all it feels like PvZ 200/200 battles, just that P doesnt stand a chance this time.
