I second the notion to remove air attacks from the Photon Overcharge and Widow Mines. I thought HotS was supposed to promote harassment, not let someone shut it down with no effort whatsoever. Terran has plenty of anti air defensive options. Templar can stop Speedivac drops.

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.

Thank you! I am talking about what we see in this tournament of course.

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.


MC's 2 base phoenix play into chargelot archon as you take a third is really, really strong. A lot of protoss at this point are still playing WoL with opening colossi and transitioning to storm after a third. Drops abuse the fuck out of robo openings.

Yeah, why didn't he fly in with Halu, take the mine shot, then instanly fly in with a real one? Seems odd


And use the splash vs the terran mineral line. First seems a bit lost right now.

He was trying to mindgame yoda thinking that it was his only one, hoping yoda would move the mines from the mineral line.

In which case the Oracle is still useless, because it can't clear the mine without being killed.

Mindgames. Usually Yoda should move his mine since First now knew where it was, but Yoda knew First anticipated that and just left his mine there :D.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

You don't need to kill the mine, kill the workers instead. You stay out of widow mine range, it's wasted supply. If he picks it up and tries to re-burrow, move away.

And it won't have the energy to do any decent damage.

Tbh Oracles drain energy so fast that it might not be possible :< Good hallucination timing may be more reliable. But yes if you have energy, that is the correct way to harass with oracles.

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?


Baneling drops, hydras, infestors, take your pick...
What makes the push so strong is that zergs feel like it's ok for them to have three bases before gas every game and that they should be able to counter the biggest hard counter to it. If anything, the immortal sentry push wasn't strong enough, cause zergs were still able to win with greediest build vs most all-in build.

But yeah PM me if you wish to talk more about this

2 Oracles and a Hallucination could clean it up. But yeah 1 oracle can't kill a widow mine itself.
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Oracles have shorter range than the mine, right? If you stay out of its range, you're not going to kill much.

Defend, defend, defend is all Protoss does in the mid game. Attacking early with Oracles is more gimmicky and risking than attacking with DTs.
