You can 'figure out' how to micro against 1-4 Liberators. You can't 'figure out' how to micro against 10+, you can either overrun them with vastly superior numbers, go around them or not let Terran get there to begin with.


Or make a tech that is just good against them as we have seen from many Protoss by including tempests.

Which is exactly like telling Terran to make ghosts and vikings to counter high templar and Collosi. It was theoretically possible, but much easier for Protoss than for terran in execution, and eventually terran gave up on that style altogether.

What? No, they didn't... Vikings were required as Colossi counterplay in both HOTS and WOL, and never stopped being counter to Colossi. Terrans were still making Ghosts against High Templars, just not all of them.

If you have an option and you are not using it, then I don't see the point in whining, nothing will change.

Are you for real? 3CC vs protoss was one of the riskiest builds for terran to do in hots.

What I want to know is why are people assuming it is safe now, so early on in LOTV?

It is safer compared to hots. And its safer to play 3 base than 2 base with the economy changes.

It's obviously not the safest but some risk is necessary as you can't really deny a Protoss from taking an early 3rd of their own because they defend with adepts and pylons. Still, TY's variation with early marine production, cyclones and tanks is the safest early 3rd you can play.

The most successful terran were making as few vikings and ghosts as possible until the game got into the much, much later stages. They were mostly relying on multipronged harass / attacks, huge surrounds and/or base trades.

I agree that it seems like a good way to open at the moment, so we'll see what happens going forward.

Starcraft community in a nutshell.

Awful attitude.

Well I am exaggerating but trying to find positives is awful?

Trying to find positive things is great, saying you hope race X continues to lose because of nerf/buff reasons is dumb.

Winner earns a bo5 with PartinG. Who played one of the most high-skill series in LotV so far just a few minutes ago. Definitely don't wanna miss out on that reward.
