Like, its an allin, its not a safe build where you dont take risks... You are not gonna scout phoenix openings. Phoenix openings are such a tiny subset of P openings, so Im not even making a balance statement here, Im just saying they are very good at stopping 1/1/1, which they are because you get a free banshee almost all the time and negate pdd completely. Well, the protoss is forced to go robo, forced to make an observer, then has to switch to stargate. You wont scout anything early, so you also need to prepare for 2 rax pressure, you cant just skip on units. And if the protoss does not go robo, then you might just auto lose, the terran has all the gears necessary to go cloak. If the protoss stays on one base, I think it is actually harder... The protoss has to make more probes also to be even with the terran (albeit, orbital making isnt free either). What I'm trying to say is, that P out of habit needs to do spend a lot of stuff on extraneous things. I feel that one well timed scan can be used (especially with the raven version..). Id say one scan to nullify the phoenixes totally (by going vikings instead of banshees) on the right timing should be fine? Especially since its, as far as I can see, the only "counter".. Of course, this would imply that you can scan it, and that brings a problem. Hm.. I think T should still win if they lose one banshee (it should arrive at the point where it does damage, i dont think the reactive phoenix is there the moment it arrives).. gives time to make 2/3 vikings instead of banshees prior to the push. | ||
