Awesome Dimaga, kudos!!!

Good to see a Zerg who really makes an effort to think ahead and be able to engage perfectly (the timing on the flank was abit off but but it worked out very very well.)

Ok, seriously, why do most top terrans have around 2500 Gas in the lategame?
I mean why not stop at 4 or 5 Refinerys


because you need alot of gas early and midgame for all the tech and upgrades. but once you hit lategame you mainly need minerals, that's why terran always banks so much gas in TvP lategame. nothing to spend it on.

He's probably asking why the top terrans don't realize this and pull scvs off gas before they bank too much gas.


For example, or why not get Ravens or something that costs gas?
Ravens are pretty good after all, and you can harass with them. And i mean sure, in the midgame u need enough gas for Starport with Reactor and let's say maybe 3 Barracks with a techlab so that you can get enough marauders. But when taking the third base, do you need gas number 5 and 6?

Also so sad for Mana, getting caught with his pants down two times, i think T_T


What would you build ravens for in TvP? PDD is nice, but it only really affects stalkers and doesn't help with collossi or high templar at all (which are the actual damage dealers lategame). HSM is extremely slow with an extremely small radius. I tried ghost/raven tank/hellion in tvp before and it's awful, HSM doesn't do anything vs. protoss units =/.

It's also ridiculously hard to control. You need several control groups, bio, then ghosts, ravens and vikings. that's 4 control groups if you want to add ravens to your army. It's already extremely hard to micro 3 control groups, 4 control groups is just insane, especially when 1 control group requires constant micro (bio) and 2 control groups are casters.


Let's assume you have 2 Ravens with your main army. You throw down 2 PDDs and 2 Turrets.
The Turrets will draw the aggresion from the chargelots and thus give you 1 or 2 more salvae for free whlie kiting, not sure about that though.
The main reasons for me would be detection(save scans for more minerals to get a more even bank) and the ability to fly around to an expansion and just put 3 or 4 turrets behind the mineral line. Would be not a big supply investment and is normally able to do a lot of damage.
This is just theorycrafting though, because i have NO way to play SC2 right now :D


Well the thing about lategame tvp is that you need scans anyway, because you need to know where the protoss army is, and scan is the only way to see where the high templars are so you can emp them. So you always have to save scans anyway. And if your opponent makes 1 cannon in every mineral line you can't harrass with turrets either. I mean your idea might be good, I don't know, I just don't see it work. Because ravens are really only good vs. stalkers and stalkers are not the problem in TvP lategame, you want to counter HTs and collossi mainly, and chargelots to some extent, ravens really dont help with that at all.

And if you want to harrass your opponent lategame, then banshees would clearly be a better option than ravens anyway. For me personally, the biggest problem about ravens however is the fact that they are so slow and so easy to feedback, because for a raven to get in range for HSM you have to fly really close to your opponent's army. They are like a suicide squad that can be countered quite easily. I don't know, I don't feel like ravens will ever be popular in TvP, but hey, maybe at some point a korean terran will prove me wrong and show that ravens are actually the sickest unit in TvP, I doubt it, but I can't know for sure.

Doesn't Killer know that storm doesn't stack?
"It is really good to get the double observatory if you want to get the speed and sight range for the observer simultaneously. It's a little bit of an advanced tactic, and by advanced, I mean really fucking bad."

Killer too wasteful with his storms. Overlapping them a lot and running out of steam.

How did Dimaga not get absolutely smashed in that engagement? :O

Wtf Dimaga.
This is sad to watch, Dimaga is usually so active on the minimap and spotts everything. But losing drones like that is not typical.
