Silly TvP mistake =) Yes indeed happens so often that you win the battle only to get stopped by the millions of instant reeinforcing Zealots you just can't kill . | ||

Did you watch IPL TAC1? The TvP winrate was in the 90s. I'm thinking the early/midgame timing attacks are just not there, or maybe just sitting back and letting toss macro doesn't work. Something like that. I remember all of the TAC TvP's being disgusting stim-a-move MMM wins before 14minutes... | ||

He did the first few engagements, the last time, he was out of bank, but not because his macro slipped, only because he lost so much more than creator. The fight at the 12 o clock tower come out with 5 vikings left and literally EMPing EVERY SINGLE UNIT to no shields, yet he still lost his entire army and that's what put him on the back foot. | ||

Pretty sure Creator's army cost a LOT more, Kas had some planetaries down at bases not even mining, he was floating thousands of gas, etc. Having planetaries at bases doesn't make that an actual mining base. Not only Kas had 2 planetary, his overall army limit was like at least 30 more due to mules. | ||

Yes, because 100 less shield energy on 10-15 fully upgraded archons are going to help. You need an obscene number of ghosts to blanket emp those archons and zealots. | ||

Last time I checked planetary fortresses aren't hero units, and it was like 75 to 75 workers before Kas sacrificed ~10. He could have easily sacrificed more with the amount of mules he had and gone for one massive army instead of constantly trading inefficiently.

Ghosts are also pretty good against zealot warpins. | ||

That was the difference. + Show Spoiler + Well, Kas was able to take an economic lead against Mana and force Mana to come to him, so it was kind of tricky for mana to put pylons to support his attack. Also it's harder to hide pylons on Daybreak. | ||

Because his army could have been 50 supply more, pretty sure that can handle 20 reinforcing zealots. Was there a patch where you can warp in 3 colossi as well or what? An army with 50 more supply is significantly, significantly stronger. | ||

I'm not going to suggest anything *cough*ArtosisMech *cough*, but if MMGV isn't working in really really late game then Terran needs to adjust and find a new composition. Just like what the other races have done (which is to evolve their compositions). | ||
