Don't take these games as examples of proper lategame PvT, imo these games are just Last trying to win via build orders and if he succeeds he wins, if not, he auto-loses lol. I'm not. I know it's doable. By Taeja standards it is. By good terrans versus decent protoss standards it is. But I've barely seen good terrans win again a good protoss in the lategame without getting an advantage in the midgame thanks to timing pushes or good harass... (I think MKP early 2012 actually, and he was very very strong back then). It's very very hard ! That's why you've seen Mvp trying mass BC against Squirtle (proving that BCs skyterran didn't work well), and other terrans trying to bring back 1/1/1 (ByuN I think ?) | ||

That's not really true. In large numbers and good upgrades Ghosts can eliminate entire Protoss armies themselves. They are incredibly good at killing Zealots and can hold their own vs Stalkers with Medivac support. Archons? Lol, EMP takes care of them. The only thing that Ghosts cant deal with are Collosus which is why I've seen a lot of pros in the ultra late game vs Protoss create a massive Ghost army supported by a large number of Vikings. It's a surprisingly powerful unit composition. | ||

Btw nothing new here, tanks became just awful vs protoss once toss get chargelots and some AoE (tanks => lots of marines). | ||

LOL. Are you knew to SC2? Rain and Last were both 3 base + at the point, so that meets your 'criteria' perfectly fine. You cant make any argument that Ghosts are harder to get to then Templar, they aren't. And ghosts do a shit load of damage to protoss when played correctly, you can half the health of the entire deathball. Last thought he was gonna win, kept pushing/overextending. He gave up his supply lead and didn't micro properly. His fault. I hear marines kill immortals pretty well, maybe he should try a little target fire? Rain has a specific playstyle, Last's build was meant to kill him before lategame because last is scared. Well, we saw what happens when you blunder. Bad tank positioning and no target firing and no ghosts= Protoss Wins | ||
