oh come on... You can't expect to win when you micro so badly... If a terran micro's badly (like bad emp's / bad spread) he dies too.


That's simply not true. There are multiple cases of that simply not being true.

Zenio apparently wants to help asd through.

i like how you all are debating emp vs storm but the truth is puzzle had the game and missed his kill window. asd had a kill window and took it and won. asd deserved to win that game. it has nothing to do with T>P or P>T.

sucks that puzzle didn't make it. had so much hope!

Why don't protoss carry around HT inside a warp prism?

Theres no risk of it dying to marines, they will never get close enough. Snipe can't hit prisms, and terran won't have vikings unless they see colossus.

drop 1 HT, storm, pick up

drop 1 ht, storm, pick up

I don't know how a terran would deal with that without trying to bum-rush the prism, getting into attack range of the protoss ball


realy ?

EMPs are really easy. There's a reason you almost never see ineffective EMPs. They have huge range and plenty of aoe so they're basically always good.

Storms are really easy. There's a reason you almost never see ineffective storms. They have huge range and plenty of aoe so they're basically always good.


EMP and storm are apples and oranges. You can be hit by a storm and if you move out of it, you can cut its full damage down by 25, 50, or 75% depending on how quickly you move units out of it. EMPs take effect instantly, so if you're hit, there's no minimizing the damage - the damage is done.


Yeah it's not like you can regen shields and energy...
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Are you serious? HTs can make archons, HTs can remove energy (not aoe, I know) *and* remove health at the same time, and they've got the aoe damage. I'd say they are at least equal...

The problem is that, because of the AoE, EMP outranges feedback by two, and ghosts are probably the most mobile caster in the game.


And also the only caster that is absolutely useless by itself and is only used to counter the use of specific units, mostly other casters.


I dont think high templars are very good without any energy.

A plain bunker play an inch away from the hatchery becomes a devastating attack by a underwhelming response by Zenio. Two marines in a bunker are pelting a hatchery while reactor'd hellions are being massed. This is looking plainly bad for Zenio.

asd capitalizes on his lead with a completed expansion and map control instead of a extreme drone barbeque.

EMP is an effective range of 11 because of diameter of 2. Feedback is 9.


EMP has a radius of 2, not a diameter of 2, unless liquipedia isn't using the right word. Thus, it actually has an effective range of 12, I think.

EMP seemed mildly dodge-able in SCBW...I see arbiters dodge that shit all the time..but oh man ghosts now seem to rain EMPs over protoss units ezpz. There's almost no lag from the time it comes out and the time it hits, barely any casting animation, and on top of that the ghosts can CLOAK avoiding detection for their spells to go off.

High templars...they're slow, they're fragile. As a protoss player, you have to split your high templar and ideally your army to minimize EMP damage, but with marauders and marines behind the ghosts, if your army isn't together, it makes it really easy for the terran army to kite/stim/pick off stray units.

Basically protoss players need to pick it up. Every single P is losing (minus huk) so far...

I just don't like that they bring the templars forward, as if storm were equivalent to fungal growth where the fungal lets the infestor safely retreat. Storm/templar is absolutely a great counter to MMM, even with Ghosts, but you got to engage with your zealots before you storm, even if it means losing some zealots. Don't make your templars the first thing the Ghosts see.


the thing is iff you hit a storm while their army is idle, the storm will trigger the T army to move forward so their army will walk into the storm. if ur zealots go first, they usually stutterstep and HT too slow to storm, thus why ppl usually storm their own zealots when they do this...very hard to get ht in position.


Also stutter-stepping vs charge is actually FASTER than the movement-speed of HTs. Which means, if your zealots charge in and the T starts stutter-stepping, the two armies will immediately go out of range of storm. Which is why you can never have your HTs in the back. No balance QQ or anything, just explaining why toss has HTs in front.

Puzzle was storming just enough to hurt everything and kill nothing with no followup. ASD would heal from the damage and return no worse for the wear.

Good luck running stalkers and zealots, let alone HTs, away from stimmed bio without hidden sentries.

You're missing the point. Regaining health/sheilds/energy after taking damage and mitigating the actual damage done by an attack are two different things -_-;; I hate it when people try to make nonsensical comebacks...

Zenio's macro is still above par. Even with the early bunker attack Zenio has a drone lead. Lair starts as a banes nest finishes and adds a unnatural third base that is unfortunately immediately scouted by hellions.

Ugh, do you play PvT? So you would just allow the ghosts some free emps all over your army?


EMPs are pretty meaningless to zealots. It's good to bait them. Feedback snipes are great and all, but it's rolling the dice completely.


lol, emp is devestating to zealots, as it is to every single protoss unit.


Not so much. 50 shield with 0 armor, as opposed to 100 health with 1 armor. It isn't even a third of their health. It obviously isn't a positive, but it's a lot better than even your Stalkers getting EMPd. If a unit is going to get EMPd, you want it to be a zealot.

But if you want to roll your HTs in front of your army in a ball, like a baller, you go.
