See mine with fake oracle, wait for cooldown to pass, fly in real oracle. Makes sense.

Firsts oracles were weird. He should have gone in with hallucinations.

Oracles are excellent harass units.... unless your opponent has any kind of combat unit.

Unlike Speed Medivacs loaded with any kind of combat unit, which are incredibly difficult for Protoss to stop.

Perhaps it is too early to judge the strength of this, but if it is still playing this way in a few months then we may have a problem!


Really? How about the sentry-immortal? Zergs know it is coming a mile away...


Yeah? How come you only have roaches and lings when we arrive then, when the push is basically made to crush roaches and lings? Maybe you should have taken that time when you see it coming to prepare against it.


With BL/infestor perhaps? What units can zergs build when the push comes at 9:04?

There have been patchs that had a bigger impact on play then HOTS has on WOL for TvP lol


Complete bullshit. Name that patch. It's like this thread is full of people who have never seen a game of HotS before this.

Queen change for TvZ. There are others i'm sure.


You said TvP not TvZ. But even when talking about TvZ, if you actually believe that the queen patch had more impact on the matchup than the entirety of the HotS changes then you don't even have a functional brain.

And that's why every Terran will open with gas and a couple of mines. Completely nullifies this type of play. Nice try with hallucinations tho!

Those drops seem to safe vs protoss low anti air dps.


Yeah. But iam sure that stargate opener can be really relevant here. One oracle to harass, a handfull of phoenix to handle drops, VR for viking and cover colossi. They need new builds.


Bio crushes us so much that we barely hold the timings when teching to our aoe, what do you think will happen when we get phoenixes before aoe?


You harass them and delay their attack, stopping them from doing damage to you. A good offense can also be a good defense. And if they move out their reinforcements won't come to help with Phoenix on the map. And an addition defensive tool helps you to delay even if the army arrives.
Never forget that Phoenix removes Mules from the game.

Yeah, why didn't he fly in with Halu, take the mine shot, then instanly fly in with a real one? Seems odd
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Much better to complain that mines are imba vs oracles than just using 50 energy to have detection in 10 range
