You litterally have to wait in a great position for the toss to run into you while having at least even expansions. And once in a while you drop some stuff to keep them honest.


Or maybe you should EMP the 10-15 fully upgraded archons? Or had more vikings than your opponent has colossi?

cool, those vikings instantly become fodder the moment the collosus die for the fresh 30 warped in zealots right at your frontline from proxy pylon.

It's all about building armor. With that planetaries would have held. Well not really. But it would have helped a ton.


I'm sorry. What?

Yes once Kas got more bases then Creator the only thing he should've done is sit back and defend. You can't break the Toss even if you beat his army you have to dry him out.


And thats why Creator attacked into 2 planetarys and destroyed him before that could happen.


But only after Kas wasted 1 big army and his bank on a stupid attack. He should've never moved out in the first place.

Well he caught him out of position and emp'd absolutely everything, so that probably gave him the impression he could win the battle. 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 .

So basically you let the toss get crazy amount of bases or attack and die. Rock and a Hard place.


What the heck has happened to TvP? 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.

Not only Kas had 2 planetary, his overall army limit was like at least 30 more due to mules.

Yeah I remember in Beta there was a lot of discussion about EXACTLY that happening. First time I've seen it in a pro game tho.

I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

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.

Cool, you also need an obscene number of high templar to have 15 archons. Ghosts are also pretty good against zealot warpins.

+ Show Spoiler [Empire vs Mouz] +
Kas played exactly the same style against Mana, except he managed to win.

+ Show Spoiler +
mana wasn't warping in units at the front line during the battles like Creator did. 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.

And then hope to kill creator's whole army AND his 20+ reinforcing zealots and 3 colossi?

Yes? 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).

Sadly this is the best Chance Terran has to win a macro game. Anything else doesn't reeinforce fast enough against Warpgates.
