Those unorthodox, micro-heavy situations are what I love about watching Illusion play. Hope this is going to be a good day for Root!

If terran can max out smoothly and do a big scv pull that can be very hard to stop. I find that if Protoss can't do anything to limit Terrans momentum (perhaps getting away with a risky 3rd or some solid phoenix/oracle harassment. Seriously, Phoenixes are total guttercunts in the right hands) then they're in trouble once the boys get pulled.

Alternatively, the terran can play a much longer game with extra oc's and tons of viking/ghost and maybe some other units and just hoep the Protoss doesn't make a proper ht transition. Idk much about this counter but I've heard it's ok as you're bloody hard to attack into if you want to be and at some point the mass phoenix loses value.

I think it's probably viable, and it's the bread and butter of all the Chinese Protosses I've noticed. Classic used it vs Maru in his Code S semis, so he thinks it's viable. You do see the occasional korean besides him do it too.

Play in a league where the Protoss doesn't have the multitasking to macro while playing with Phoenixes.

I love Phoenixes, but every time I end up with thousands of minerals banked up .

Most of the time Phoenixes are played purely defensively.

Well, what's the fun in that? . I love those speedy little things. One of my first memories of StarCraft II is actually seeing a 2v2 showmatch at Blizzcon or something and seeing Speedlings on Creep and just shouting "Wow, look at 'em go!"

Standard to build turrets now, even the threat of an Oracle is too much to risk skipping them!
