Main point of phoenixes is to kill banshees. Then you try to force minor engagements before they get to your natural. At that point, your opponent will not have healthy banshees and if you feel your ground army is that strong then you could easily pool your 2 bases full of probes.

You must not be happy often.

It's so funny hearing Artosis try not to complain about balance. Puzzle should proxy his Gateways in the Best's base. The ultimate 1/1/1 counter! You guys should have listened to iNcontrol!

Send Nuclear in for a Protoss (see: Nuclear's TvP stats), nice move Choya.

Seeing Puzzle play today makes me wish GSL sent him to MLG instead of Trickster.

Exactly, sending Trickster to MLG is just dumb. We got Puzzle and JYP instead.

It's not. You only go Phoenix for either a 2 port Banshee or extended 1/1/1 where Banshee numbers are becoming too great.

Well in the original version with a raven Phoenix is great as it nullifies PDD and takes care of those pesky banshees. This allows you to go heavy zealot vs the tanks and marines.

Honestly the best way to counter 1-1-1 is if your opponent messes up and you effectively capitalize on his mistakes.

I knew they would choose the Best. He's not going to mess up the 1-1-1.

The 3 banshee kills were huge. If he had those banshees with him when he pushed (i.e. not even moving out with them) I dont think it would have worked.

LOL TheBest!
