Gotta love how people took me out of context in the first place. I said putting a few phoenixes into the mix is very helpful against Hydras and suddenly a couple of people are claiming I said "Phoenix hard counter mass hydra".

I think it's also the gap between a lower tier pro and an upper tier one.

That's even worse if true -_- I imagine he didn't see it, but I know the #1 thing going through my head at that moment when I'm just waiting for nexus cannon to end to move in and end the game is to get detection just in case.

I think so, but he did build oracles to detect, but he needed them with his stalkers and could not afford to have one in his main

yeh but he could've built the oracles earlier. If the building was where i think it was, he could've even built a robo in time. Maybe he thought it was a pylon or something as it was in that kind of position.

Because I'm right, you can.

Anyone who thinks hydras actually counter phoenix is completely wrong.


Oh boy.
You can pick up hydras in very small numbers, but as soon as the zerg commits to larger numbers of hydras, phoenixes die faster than you can pick up any hydras.
So yes, Hydras counter phoenix.


It all depends on numbers. If the Zerg has more than twice as many hydras as there are phoenixes, of course you're going to witness a massacre. But if the numbers are comparable, and the Protoss has pretty good micro, he will most likely win the fight. Sure, with fairly heavy losses, but he wins it. Phoenixes are both more durable, more mobile and have higher dps compared to hydras.


Yeah, but here it was in the context of "I'm going for mass vr, maybe get some phenix to counter hydras"
Anyway I think phenix openings are the strongest openings a protoss can do, but seeing them as a "support unit to counter hydra" sounds wierd.

I did just catch all of the end there but wasn't this what he was doing? I though he had an oracle building while he waited for the nexus canon to end? Maybe he didn't move in fast enough.

I have to say I never saw a protoss "put some phoenix in the mix" in this kind of composition (if it wasn't the phenix he did in the beggining of the game), but if you witnessed it often I apologize
