So much for your "magical vision" which doesn't tell you where Protoss hid his tech (and isn't free at all by the way, no idea what you're talking about). I agree, the scan should reveal 100% of the map and atleast for 2 minutes... | ||

I'm being facetious for the sake of argument and exaggerating because I think Terran has few issues with scouting. Your drops are going to be doing scouting when you're dropping, and scans really are one of the premier tools of gaining information even if you can - and do - miss. | ||

Or a flying unit which is faster than anything in the game to fly over the army. Or a magical vision from afar they can activate for free and which can't be blocked. well i will replace any of these "great" methods of scouting for a flying invisble unit or hallucinated phoneix both of them almost free, and guarnteed to scout a huge almost unlimted area on the map - unlike the "great" method you mentioned | ||

Also the Envission from Oracle could be enough, he got it alive all the match, what a good Stargate play, not massive SkyToss, just the needed Oh please. He mentioned it once. And it could have been a problem because that means they can snipe the templar and Hasu was using storms to keep the colossi alive. I'm not sure why not having a factory would be worth mentioning when he could have pumped out enough vikings from the reactor'd starport to help with the defense against the 4 colossi. He didn't scout the colossi in time. Having a factory wouldn't have helped him defend. Apollo's analysis is always about what could a player possibly lose to at a given point and I think he did a great job. Cloaked ghosts turned out to be a non-issue but that was literally the only thing Hasu could have lost to at that point. | ||
