Ofcourse you can stop it with a bio army. You need to EMP the sentries so they can only use 1 guardian shield. Also put your scvs on hold position or have buildings to block. Marine Marauder + Medivacs with EMP and equal upgrades absolutely shred a no area of effect Protoss army.

I don't think Hydra are meant to counter a unit that does extra damage vs light. You would have to be kind of dense to think that. In mass numbers you need something that is armored and hits air or else AoE.



- Mutas are awful against archons / pheonix

- Corruptors are awful against anything


So what do you do ? Mass fungal ? just snipe infestors and you're fine.

Corruptors are awful against everything bu phoenix, and the point is how to counter phoenixes. Corruptors also allow guardians which rape the ground army that kiwi had.



Corruptors take supply for nothing. You get rid of the phoenix but you have 40 supply of useless corruptors. Exact same problem as the protoss collossus deathball basically.

Corruptor is the worst unit of the game, even blizzard game designer said that it's bad.

They're a bad unit but we are talking about that specific game They would have killed all the phoenix which is good. Then he can morph some or at least have a ground army that can fight the zealot ball while kiwi transition to blink stalkers.

Corrupters are awful against everything? What game do you play. They are amazing vs Phoenix/Carriers (in small numbers)/Vikings/Battlecruisers.

This reminds me of an earlier SOTG where Painuser was saying how good Zealots were and Inc/Tyler argued against him saying they're worthless. Lo and behold, Chargelots are like the central unit of the PvT metagame right now. People need to try these things before saying they're worthless.


He meant corrupters are awful against everything else in the PvZ matchup. No one uses carriers and as soon as the phoenixes die, you realize you have 40 food sitting around in the air while you get raped by archon/zealot.


You realise that you have killed 40 food of his army though? and that 40 food can turn into Broodlords which hard counter Zealot/Archon.

Except because of the huge amount of Corruptors you have to make, you can't hold his ground force with whatever ground force you have. You think he's gonna sit there and wait for you to get hive tech and greater spire and morph into broods just because you killed his phoenixes?

Corrupters tank alot of damage. Just make 2 of them as moving turrets to help ward off sharking phoenixes. Then, use Hydras + Fungal to take them out quickly.
Hell, its awesome to LOSE to nukes!

put the scv on hold too (or better have supply depots as a wall so the zealots waste their charge on it

I honestly thought EG would win, but after seeing their play I'm not convinced they are very good compared to other pro-teams. I hope that changes with PuMa and their new training house!

EG Hwaiting!

StrifeCro played just fine. One of EG's uncommon picks for a clanwar and he picked up a win. How did Demu play ok?

Strife didn't play badly. And how is massing marines off two bases playing "ok" compared to the others who played "badly"?

Edit: two bases
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

Although I'm not really sure the games were all that great, this is an extremely exciting format. 500 bucks on the line, unseating a current champion gives you an extra 100 bucks (does each win increase that by 100?) and winner's league format makes for a really really cool experience.

Thanks IGN!

You're acting like you have to make one corruptor per phoenix. You don't. And you use the corruptors with your attack, hence you're not haing a bunch of corruptors floating around, you have canceled out their air with your air and mass roach takes care of the rest of that. You don't herp derp trying to fly your corruptors around solely to try and stop the phoenixes from harassing.
