protoss player here... what is the perfect terran counter to ultras?

Naw, too expensive. Banshees are the best pure counter, what with cloak and everything.


They both take way too long to kill ultras. Half ur base is dead before they cleaned up. Just MMM with marauders is the most efficient way to kill that composition. + Ghosts against infestors.

Yeah, but it takes time to raise your apm. I'm sure he will be more faster in the future. Back in BW, it was an archievement if you could raise your average from 110 to 130 or so.

Ghosts are okay vs. Ultras. They don't counter them, but you get ghosts because they are good vs:

1. Infestors
2. Brood Lords
3. Ultras

Whereas Vikings are good against only Brood Lords, while Marauders are good against only Ultras.

DRG is killing Thorzain with his muta's. Thorzain is normally really spread out and people don't know what to do against it, since he is everywhere at once with that style. But DRG has such good muta control that he picks him apart.


I agree completely. Watching Thorzain against Zergs that don't have this kind of Muta control, it feels like he has the whole map and the Zerg can't move anywhere. Against DRG, he keeps losing those small groups of Marines and Tanks all the time, and can't really get his slow choke out style going like he wants to.

Got the exact same feeling.

I think the time when Thorzain starts "picking up", is when his 3/3 upgrades are finished, at least thats how I see it as a spectator.

he's been picking like a champ on SOTG as of late though. Although this one was kind of obvious.

Am I the only one who thinks that Thorzain could kill like 10 more drones when they were transferred to the natural? It could have been so different...

Actually, Ultras absolutely destroyed Thorzain but a maxed out ling bling muta army would have done the same. I fail to see how ultras had any bearing on the outcome of that game.

Having said that, they aren't actually that terrible. They just have the 'well, if he made marauders/immortals, I actually lose the game in which I had a massive lead'. Thorzain only killed 12 drones with that drop, no more than those early roaches did. I dunno how DRG didn't die to that.

I don't even think preparing for ultras would have helped that much, Thorzain just lost too much stuff to mutas, constantly losing small groups of marines and tanks to mutas really hurt him


Yeah... it's one of those situations where he just got picked apart all game long. The Ultras were the nail in the coffin and a great choice, but he would have lost that game even if he made Broodlords (or stayed on Lair tech) imo.

If Thorzain had been ahead all game, he could have gone Ghosts or whatever.
