why does it slow down upgrades?
Vikings cost less gas than medivacs


Don't need as much medivacs as you need vikings. You need a second starport and viking upgrades against Colossi as well. In total it should be a lot more gas.

Still way better than any other "style" that's been invented so far. I can't think of a good PvT style that didn't come from Korea.


European colossus style is very very good. Its a bit easier to drop so you have to be more spot on, but the transition from Colossi towards templar is a lot harder to beat in a macro game compared to HT->colossi

Mana for example on a spot on day would have won against Taeja I think. He was already up 2-1 but then kind of brain-derped his way into defeat.

well true if you get another starport it will be more gas. But then it won't slow down medivac production. And plus, terrans constantly have 1-2k gas once late game hits. Seems like that just lets terrans use that gas more easily.

Pretty sure it's standard to have a HT at all your bases for drops. I do the same thing with infestors in ZvT.

MC is a very lucky guy, so let's just leave it at that

The curse doesn't work that way, you need to really want your player to win, and then they'll lose.

Probably in the main for drop defense and he pulled it to the ramp when Taeja moved into the nat.

PvT turtle with double ups, mass gateways, never attacking just defending and expanding etc.
Mana (and adelscott) was doing it before creator or anyone really in Korea.

The "European Colossus style" is just the old Korean Colossus style. Templar openers are pretty new, as things go.

I wonder what made Taeja want to run up that ramp?


Frustation.


Stemming from what I'm guessing was the amount of marines and ghosts he was producing right before running headlong into the collosus.

He was keeping Templar around his main to Feedback drops, more than likely one of them.

You don't use your second Starport for Medivacs straightaway, you first catch up the needed Viking count. Besides, as a Terran, you don't really have spare gas in midgame.
