That's why Terran has the most and best ways to harass. It's mandatory. If you don't do it, you can't complain. | ||

Cause like 4 Stalkers can obiously defend a medivac, let alone 2, and no terran player ever sends non-full.energy medivacs.. Also really fun is when they double drop you and you have to pull half your army and then 3 marauders stimm into your natural and snipe your nexus in 2 seconds... Try playing toss and not get killed all day by this.. | ||

Heh, if you saw Virus(?) yesterday, he went 1rax, double expand, double gas, double ebay in TvP. That would probably qualify for your requirements  + Show Spoiler + And then he lost anyway due to playing terribly >.> | ||

In his recent matches against Squirtle he went for a very ghost-heavy composition and won handily by mass-emping everything; it was pretty much like before the emp nerf. (This could not have happened in this game because Boxer was set behind in the early game.) I stated that at the time and I will restate it now: I think that Terran players might have overreacted to the emp nerf. In general, I feel that we have been trying to sit on the same composition forever while Protoss moved on to better strats. I am a bit worried that Blizzard won't do anything before HotS though, but maybe that's for the best. The developers seem to like overly simplistic mechanics, which basically means that warpgate will stay broken until they rework it entirely. | ||

Protoss harrass is awful? Warp prisms are the fastest, cheapest, and toughest drop ship in the game. 2 storms will kill an entire mineral line. 8 zealots will force an insane amount of micro and units from the terran. Terrans never have turrets or defense in their main vs toss, yet you never see warp prism play. Just because protoss doesn't harrass because they have no need for it doesn't mean it's bad. | ||

Saying that a max vs. max with a small upgrade disadvantage is an automatic gg is ridiculous. If Boxer had 3/3 and Creator had storms it would have been an even worse crush. Lategame TvP feels extremely broken right now, and you can't say Boxer played that badly he engaged fairly well he had ghosts, vikings and a small number of medivacs and got destroyed. | ||

Overall it's definitely possible to win a lategame TvP but you have to rely on your opponent doing a mistake. | ||

You just leave 6 stalkers in your main where the terran always drops, put up cannons at your third with an HT to feedback and if need be you split your army accordingly so you don't lose anything. Seriously if you lose a nexus to a few marauders because you have the 1 control group syndrome then you cant be any higher than gold league. And I play protoss as my new main race now, so I know what we are talking about here, but thanks. | ||

If the P defends well, you lose anyways. I think we need to give P more harass options and T stronger late game deathball. Then the 2 sides can choose the strategy they want. Now, if P decides to go late game. T HAS to pressure. | ||

You are aware that Protoss was getting beat so bad for so long that the logo for GSL articles on TL was a sad zealot? It's not like they've been strong forever. It's a fairly new shift in the metagame. | ||
