Avilo's so-called "God Composition" of 20 tempests, 10 templar, and 5 archons, costs 120 supply and 7,000 gas, and it has pathetic DPS against anything that's not either heavily clumped up or massive. There are going to be avenues for Zerg to attack and punish that composition.

Master Hots and High Master WoL T here:

Tempest is a joke at this point. I go fast gas and kill all the probes in the probe line, I follow it up with a bunch of marines and a bunker for defense...no matter...they went fast tempest. One Tepest sieges my marines and bunker. Cant do much because there are 3 stalkers there (o ya' did I mention it takes 3 vikings to kill a tempest? - thats if you have a starport). By the time siege tank is out 2 tempest are there. Cloak banshee or mines? Nope, b/c mothership core is sitting right there for detection. The irony in all of this is Terran already sucks late game and between the mothership core and all the T3 units introduced to both Protoss and Zerg, Terran is weaker than ever.

There needs to some additional requirement for Tempest. It is like me making Thors without an Armory.
How much better to get wisdom than gold; to get insight rather than silver!

Clumped up or massive sums up every possible composition :x

this!

its not like you can go roach ling or something like that vs the above composition since that wont do anything and wont even be able to kill the bases that are protected by cannons and 1 HT per base. meanwhile he will just kill your bases.

you need to fight that army at some point, especially since range 15 tempest are able to protect at least 4 bases by just sitting there...
