Trap stomping Maru part 351

Rushi also deserves a strike for saying that phrase "never basetrade a terran" that isnt the case anymore. Especially with a dt shrine and a thing called recall basetrading a terran as a toss is what they want most of the time

Pulling tempests into 25 corruptors doesn't count as deletion. TIL that you get free 25 upgraded corruptors when you get a viper. Where are you going with this You know baneling run-bys don't hurt protoss economy because probes are technically the only unit that can effect a protoss economy? Where i am going with this is that 25 corruptors erase massive air units vipers or not. What vipers actually do is allow you not to lose those 25 corruptors as a price of killing 3 or 4 carriers/tempests.
Corruptors have 6 range vs air. 25 corruptors don't delete units without being at risk of damage from the rest of the army. Vipers allow them to.

And the fact it's a fucking flying unit which can be clumped very effectively with other flying units - no issue!

That's why moma ship needs them immunity or we need back the arbiter, so you have to waste the energy on them. (obviously immunity for mother ship is even bigger nonsense)
The actual counterplay to vipers is to outrange them, or do what Trap did and hit a very precise timing. Both are valid options and are exactly what is used in every other match-up to deal with 'I win' buttons.
Shortly put: there is a lot of things to talk about in PvZ but vipers are actually relatively minor in the list even if it triggers people that like to control their 4 distinct group endgame army with f2.

Yes Terran is now in fact the worst race at basetrading, truly beautiful.

Sure, there are bigger issues than Vipers, that's for sure. Especially on this map pool xD

That doesn't make any sense though  Trap is playing the kong race and he's a kong. That's like betting soO will win. Sure, he won something, but after a while and in a zerg friendly game state.

I would say having the ability to snipe a orbital, maybe even 2 to then recall to save your main base is having the advantage. Especially as every toss has their dt shrine completed at that stage and detection becomes a problem. Hence we see tosses engage in base trades alot.

AFter what, five 2nd places? Well, but if we use this timer, Trap should win something really soon.

Isn't Maru the best at ghosting?

Against pheonixes he probably knew it was getting picked off before disables anyway. Would make more sense to harass with it as the big push happened though

Protoss just got a bigger advantage with recall.
