It'd be interesting to see a battlecruiser switch in that situation (maxed terran with heaps of resources). Supernova did really well but his army always seemed much weaker than it should be given his huge advantage... in the TvP matchup you just max on bio, there's no real high tech units (besides a few ghosts) that you mix in to make it really dangerous. It was always a danger that genius would kill supernova's relatively weak army at some point and roll him before he could reinforce. Terrible idea, by the time you max with BCs the Toss would have had ample time to scout the switch and prepare an ample defense, + all the extra burst and firepower of BCs is negated by feedback, which also rapes a big chunk of a BCs HP, you'd have to EMP your own BCs, in which case again you can't benefit from having Yamato. Anyway, if someone would have told me last season, that Genius would lose a long macro game to a Terran, on Daybreak, and more specifically to Supernova, I'd have laughed in the guys face. In TvT there have been late game BC switches which have gone completely unscouted (cf virus vs supernova today), no reason why you couldn't also catch a P off guard. Especially since the standard game is to just make bio all game, there would ordinarily be no reason to scout the terran's base. Also re: high templar, that turns into a micro battle where the terran wants to get yamatos off before he gets fedback.
Absolutely irrelevant, Virus was already ahead and containing Supernova, additionally Supernova threw away a huge chunk of his Viking fleet.
Additionally protoss has more persistent and harder to stop scouting via obs.
Edit: There is a reason why BCs and Carrier games are the exception, not the rule.

Not even whining, great play by supernova, but seriously, how the hell is toss supposed to beat this army and why are people complaining terran lategame is to week?! With ghost/cloak/drop you can do soo much and toss can just run around like an idiot until he misses a nuke Are you kidding me? No observers, losing templars with full energy left and right(literally everywhere, all the time) because he couldn't keep up, clumping units and losing them due to move commands, and yet you can find people thinking that this game means that everything is going smoothly in TvP. What goos are the templars against 25 ghosts? What good are obs if they fall from the sky instantly? I really dont see a way to win an engagement as toss when the terran has pfs everywhere and mass ghost / viking
The terran tends to have mass pf's when the protoss doesn't contest their forward expansions. There were never 25 ghosts out at one point. In fact, the most that were ever out were 4-5 before genius essentially "lost." Genius would have crushed that army, but supernova played it near perfect and simply avoided the confrontations and Genius played into it.

Yes, Huk did once and lost to MVP I believe. Jinro made it to Ro4 twice.

I think i must have been confusing ro8 with semis, i had a vague idea that huk never got as far as jinro, thanks
