i hope flash will soon invent a build that gets a thor in a decent amount of time to shut down all the blink builds

thors are 300-200 and have such high dps they decimate stalkers and zealots and sentrys.

1-2 thors nicely timed to supplement a bio build to make them immune to blink

the PROBLEM with blink is actually the forcefields. if there was no forcefields terrans could just go bio normally vs blink and be fine. thors are mostly to solve the forcefield problem

blink costs like 150/150 for the upgrade 150/100 for the twilight. thors 150/100 for the armory then 300/200 per thor. imo the cost could probably be worth it considering if you go a standard bio build into a few thors you dont need to spend 600 minerals on bunkers that you otherwise would need to get if you scout blink

getting a few thors in there imo is the best plan to combat the stupid blink stuff which put innovation behind 1000 minerals just cuz he scouted blink and tried to prepare for it


hope flash discovers the right way to everything soon!


Probably the right reaction to this is to abandond the build on the first sight of the Thor (while continuing to fake pressure) and then laugh about the two medivacs the terran misses for each Thor.


thors combat stats are not that bad at all. their DPS is worth the cost. spending 600/400 to be immune to blink, and being behind 4 medivacs, while having tons of DPS instead, isnt that bad considering you are allowed to do a standard bio build and essentially not have to worry about blink ever again

paying a 600/400 insurance policy to do bio while not worrying about bios stupidest counter (blink)

the plan is just do normal bio but then somehow get the thors in there when blink would normally screw around with you.

sacrifice the first 4 medivacs to be immune to blink. then get more medivacs after that. its a trade off sure but you wouldnt need to worry about blink


4 huge issues

1) Thors are too slow. If you mix 2 Thors in your army, your army is now much less mobile.

2) upgrades, over time, your Thor just get weaker and weaker due to no upgrades.

3) getting your medivacs late means you can't drop until p has Templars. Not a good plan

4) it is common misconception that gateway units don't trade well vs bio. They don't trade we'll vs stimmed bio with medivac support. Therefore, no having medivac support is the early mid game means p can trade with their gateway units while they tech to AoE tech.

How on earth does a bo3 benefit "a style"?



Consider the following, there are two starcraft players X and Y, X is slightly better at starcraft and he wins 60% of the games he plays against Y leaving Y to win only 40% . It is entirely possible for Y to play a set number of games with X and win more than him, but if X and Y were to play a million games of starcraft the probability that Y would win more games than X is VERY close to 0 like .000000001% . However if they were to play a 3 games (as in a bo3) the probability that Y would win more games is like 32 percent.

Most of the time playing cheesy doesn't result in a win rate of >50% in starcraft II (the exception being in the early days when tournaments were dominated by 1 base scv pulls) because as the game gets figured out and some of those strategies are patched out they lose their effectiveness. But even without a >50% winrate it's totally possible to beat superior opponents.

TL;DR Lower amounts of games in a series mean it is more likely for inferior opponents to advance.

Which benefits inferior players that is protoss. Is that what you mean ?


More like it benefits the player with more opening options. Protoss have much more builds that just straight up kill you if caught by surprise.

why is having more builds better in bo3 than ,lets say, bo7

This too... Anyway...

Flying 4 medivacs full of units into a protoss's army benefits the protoss player.


And so is being able to open with:
Proxy oracles
Proxy gate
fast HT
Blink aggression
DTs
Robo with DTs
Robo collosus
2 base stalker collosus
Zealot ht all-in

Protoss just has more variety, but having said all that, none of that had to do with why Patience beat Innovation.

or you could even think about it like this


you could do what innovation did and scout blink and put yourself 1000 minerals behind building a bunch of bunkers and pulling 6+ SCV's for a while thinking u need to repair and stuff


or spend 600/400 just putting 2 thors worth of combat units into your bio build normally. you are behind 4 medivacs but the thors really arent that bad per cost they deal insane DPS. then you are allowed to do bio without worrying about blink (dont even need to be scouting for it). then just drop the thors or something when your at 180food and they deal decent DPS when used in drops
