Last time I brought it up somebody complained about it requiring too much control/micro (compared to other races). lol. Haha, it used to be a standard thing in BW due to vulture snipes. It's just a matter of time before it's standard here too. | ||

And Zenio vs Top and Puzzle vs Ryung are also imba matches. oGsTL sure are unlucky with their teamkills in ro16 xD | ||

So we have 2 protoss and 2 zergs in ro16 and the possibility of getting no more than 2 more zergs and protoss :x Such an overwhelming presence of T in ro16 but the ro16 looks so stacked. Damn! | ||

Well there are some problems with that. First of all, a single SC2 storm is nowhere near as effective as a BW storm - it's not even close. And not only is SC2 a faster game in general but terran bio is also very mobile and can easily avoid the tiny SC2 storms. Also, you'll need a dedicated robo for obs and warp prisms only due to cloak, which isn't that unreasonable tbh. But hen there's the whole viking issue, terrans will always have reactored starports and you don't need many vikings to keep warp prisms from closing in on your bio. Not saying it's impossible, but I find it a lot harder than in BW. | ||

But really, if viking counters become to big an issue vs shuttle play - I don't see the robo as an issue, since if you tech to HTs then you obviously won't be constantly churning out colossi due to gas limitations (at least early on) - and Ps are still worried about their armies/HTs being EMP'd, then mothership might not be so bad. Whoever gets their spell off first, feedback or EMP, usually wins that particular battle. If a mothership buys the P even 1 extra second for feedbacks, then it would be worth the investment. | ||

They aren't that weak.... but anyways, with upgrade, warp prisms are so extremely fast that you can easily keep them behind your army in safety. I wonder if we will ever see Archon-shuttles, considering that EMP is getting more common and is devastating to archons. | ||

With vikings having such long range warp prisms are about just as snipable as the units themselves with EMP. I really don't think we'll see warp prisms used to save certain units because of that. | ||
