ROFL, exactly right. Both sides are imba depending on who you talk to.
Hero did really well, but eventually those base harass tactics were just massively inefficient. GJ Thorzain!

I think with a 'good' engagement and army control, the Terran lategame with 24 ghosts, ~14 vikings and the rest bio + medivacs is nearly impossible to beat. You need to scan and kill the observers so the cloaked ghosts survive (move them into the Protoss army, so they don't suffer AoE from Colossus. Vikings with damage upgrades take down colossi really fast and yeah... thats when you have PERFECT engagements.

Thing is, 1 observer surviving and you losing your ghosts can switch everything back to Protoss and if Protoss did bank money and won the engagement, you are dead as Terran. Its all just a control-war I think. In Beta it was just army a-move into army a-move, now its VERY VERY sick control and map awareness.

I really think which WAY its going, yet I think the match up is so fragile, you can win a lost game or lose a won game in an instant.

I think the base harasses were effective... the zealot attacks into planetaries though...

why does hero not have an army. how can he lose fights with 20 vikings vs. 0 collossus. thats so weird.


Its not 20, but Ghosts are very strong with EMP against Archon and very strong with base damage (26!) vs zealots. They can also snipe. So they remove shields instantly, snipe + insane base damage. Also they have a lot of health and medivacs, rest is thanks to bio. Its very tricky to fight Terran straight up in such a lategame scenario, but, HerO is winning I think.


no. there should be no way in the world protoss should lose a 200 vs 200 fight with 40 useless viking supply.

Ghosts son....

but in all seriousness, this kind of does goto show how powerful Ghosts are. Snipe and emp nullifies templar and archons, with the mass vikings stopping him from even making collosi.... and with no AoE damage gateway armies will just straight up die to stimmed bio, even with all of that supply dumped into vikings and ghosts.

I think this is surprising to people only because so many Terrans have been complaining about late game PvT, when really its fairly balanced at the moment.

indeed. incredible patience by thorzain. so many good decisions mad by him. best one was when he did not go for the baserace in the end, beeing aware of the fact that hero is not mining as well and by having the stronger army.

heros army has never been that strong becuz he was split up nearly all game and thorzain keeping his vikings alive all game so fukin good...

The templar were denied by the vikings since HerO was going for WP HT drops. He probably should have just kept the templar on the ground and tried to storm what he could.

Honestly it's a little frustrating to see that a deathball style is rewarded more than Hero's harass based style. Hero would've won that game if he had his army together I feel.

gg very good first game by both players!

those vikings not attacking! was nerve biting!

he rightclicked on the prism with the templars in it because it was way more important than 3 collossus


It wasn't 20 vikings, but even if so - Terran has less scvs due to mules which leads to general 'bigger' army supply. If you can nullifie Protoss AoE (Templar, Archon, Colossi) which all works with Ghost/Viking you are very good to go. Also cloaked ghosts cannot be attacked if you have no obs (dying to vikings)) so yeah, its just very possible :-)! Watch EmpireHappy play, he nearly never loses TvP engagements^^!
