Similar to a 200/200 tank/viking army or 200/200 broodlord/corrupter army The HT route is more viable, since then you make use of your gateways still and just need a star gate switch, which isn't too difficult. The main point though is that I'm skeptical that carriers are really that great vs. vikings. Cost effective, maybe, but after controlling for micro and build time? Not sure. I might experiment with it a bit though. | ||

Theoretically speaking, if carriers counter vikings, then carrier colossi (or carrier HT) should ripe apart all Terran armies (since then the only tool Terran would have vs. carriers are marines) but I've never seen it work. Carriers don't really 'counter' vikings, they kill more vikings than their cost, but they build a hell of a lot slower. One carrier can take down 3 vikings for example, especially with upgrades, but a reactored starport will pump them so much faster. You don't see it often because marines destroy interceptors, carriers take ages to build and are expensive (combination meaning that you're out 350/250 for a ridiculously long time before you get the damn unit), and very rarely do terrans go for a 200/200 mech ball where protoss recognizes it early enough to get carriers out. I've seen White-Ra demolish some terran mech players with it on his stream. Carriers are actually extremely powerful units, the problem is that their build time is absurdly long, they're expensive, they're very hard to tech too while staying alive, and players don't really do large mech builds most of the time. For the record though, a high templar/carrier/archon combination is actually the strongest unit composition against terran, regardless of what terran does, but it's so incredibly hard to survive to that point without colossi. | ||

edit: Carriers? Every sane Protoss might not build a single Carrier, unless he is absolutely sure the terran is not able to build up a significant amount of marines, as those ROFLSTOMP any amount of carriers. Well microed Vikings can be a problem too, but there is quite no reason to build vikings as long as the terran has some Barracks | ||

Artosis could have recognized that he had very little or no chance at the NASL playoffs, and decided to literally "take one for the team" to increase Vibe's chance. I don't know, he hasn't played very well in any NASL match, but against Vibe he seemed to play especially poorly (by pro standards). I think he played even more poorly against Fenix and Rainbow. | ||

His US account rank is pretty modest... something in the range of 950 Masters with 45% win rate. There are definitely plenty of casual Masters players who are just flat out better. This is disregarding tournament experience. | ||
