Why build a second/third observer when you can build a warp prism? It has the utility of scouting, harass, and protecting your ht.... Tools are always better in the hands of better players. | ||

That said I do think templar busses are viable, especially after the patch. It's still "unfair" that Terran has it so easy though. Ghosts should be harder to use somehow. | ||

Then his parents stop givin him food and he starves oh wait, this is the 21st century, so his parents would probably give him a courage trophy or some bullcrap. :/ This is completely off topic and random but...why would you punish a kid for showing bravery? | ||

That way you could at least force scans from the Terran, though at the cost of a considerable amount of Force Fields and Guardian Shields. It was a bit sarcastic by me, because to have a decent number of hallucinations and still have forcefields and GS would mean sacrifice a decent part of army dps with sentries and delay too much your tech. =( But it would be funny see a terran army surrounded by hallucinated HT comming fdrom every side. | ||

You mean that one where Byun's army was about 30 supply smaller, the limited Ghosts were godawfully controlled and the Templar in the Warp Prism were completely ineffectual? | ||

why do protoss players suck with high templars? I dunno man, it seems pretty hard to win. If you split them they just get sniped off one by one like there. If you clump them you might get a couple of feedbacks off but then 2 EMPs come in and it's over. because of medivacs and ghosts having 100 HP the terran can kind of afford to walk all his ghosts around in a clump, meaning any time a temp has a go at them it's going to be outnumbered and thus not be cost efficient. I could see a great player running them behind his army and storming from there but that's really tricky and it means your whole army is guaranteed to get EMPed running in, which is pretty much GG in any case. It feels like ghosts are the easier unit to control and more damaging, which is fine, I think the main problem is that marine-marauder is such an economical composition and so effective against toss that a terran can eventually just pump whole waves of ghosts and get into the situation where they have 10 or 20. A protoss simply can't keep up with that on the caster front without switching to an entirely zealot based army, which coincidentally is fucking awful against marine-marauder-ghost-medivac. Time and again I've seen armies get stormed to hell and gone, but what's left is more than enough to finish off zealots and only the archon morphs make it a trade. Terran keeps the medivacs and probably some ghosts if they cloak, toss has to remake everything. | ||

It's annoying to me that 'protoss is UP' is now so accepted after such a short amount of time that any time a protoss loses anything people don't look beyond the immediately obvious. Well, since Puzzle literally cannot scout what Bomber is doing, he went with the "safe" build and ended up way behind. Had he thrown up an early Nexus (the right thing to do in this particular case), and Bomber ended up 2 raxing, you'd probably be criticizing Puzzle for not playing safe. He flipped the "you need to win to be even against Terran" coin, and lost. That's it. | ||
