Liberators zone Disruptors out completely. | ||

People do go libs against disruptors all the time. The part that terrans find really tricky nowadays isn't the blink stalker/disruptor phase but the much later game where Protoss mass expands, builds a ton of workers, has a small main army anchored with disruptors to zone, and uses blink dts to snipe everything. | ||

Lib centric play has fallen almost completely out of favor over the years. Far more likely to see tanks or just mass bio ghost. | ||

Predictable result but still a bit sad. As for HeroMarine, he said libs are shit in TvP iirc. He opts for certain timing vs Protoss in tournaments since normal macro games don’t work according to him. | ||

Ye, even with liberator and siege tank support, bio armies just can't move close enough to shoot without being blown up by fiery balls if the disruptor count is too high. Protoss players are getting too good at using disruptors, and there is no answer in sight. God level 3000apm splits?? Disable?? Go BCs and Yamato them?? Unfortunately, the best solution seems to be to do crippling damage with harassment or a pull-the-boyz timing. | ||

Unfortunately, the best solution seems to be to do crippling damage with harassment or a pull-the-boyz timing. I mean ultimately, Disruptors are a siege unit, they can't attack air, and they're RELATIVELY immobile. If the count gets high enough you need to start attacking around them or away from them similar to Siege Tanks and Lurkers (at least in theory that's how Siege Units are meant to work). Or you can just say screw it and go for full on Air Compositions (extremely hard to transition to I know trust me) but if the meta keeps going in this direction of producing stupid numbers of Disruptors, then the meta is just gonna need to shift where Terrans stop fighting head on with Bio armies. There's other things I can theory craft like using more Ravens or some such, but the tricky thing right now is this transitionary period where the Disruptor count first starts to get up to like 4-6 and if Terran gets obliterated in a bad fight they just die before they can adjust to the Disruptor count. That's the period that is really going to be difficult for the meta to adjust around, and I have no answers right now for what Terrans can do better there except to mix in some Liberators into their army and stall the Protoss from just killing you right away. | ||

Spear played some good games though, even though it wouldn't be enough against a top player. A shame he couldn't close it out against Trap on EE. | ||

Unfortunately, the best solution seems to be to do crippling damage with harassment or a pull-the-boyz timing. It's the same for toss, stalkers can't attack without being outranged by liberators/tanks. The MU is a position battle, and the faster usually win. And when Toss accumulates disruptors, you have to admit that they are kind of ahead and likely to win. But here, we have again some games where a Terran lost, and terran player who uses that as an opportunity to state "Terran is so weak, this Z/P strats is impossible to beat", even in games where the Protoss was a top Protoss star, and the Terran unknown. | ||

Hence the cybernetic core needed to build them The protoss can leave the Dragoon, he's just too crippled to do much. I think of Dragoons more as wheelchairs, because the Dragoon is never an actual part of the protoss' body, in contrast to Stalkers, who actually are fused into their robotic bodies. | ||
