Protoss has an advantage in the lategame PvT, but it is more like a 60% advantage than the 100% newbies on forums make it out to be. So could you give me couple games from last months where terran wins max engagement so I could study them ? Sorry I'm on a cell phone in france atm, cant do ur research for u. A good example to look at is MMA's run thru the starswar korean qualifier. He has historically been unbelievably weak in tvp compared to his tvz and tvt, yet he beats the likes of squirtle, creator, etc. In fact the creator/mma series was one of the bezt tvp series I have seen in a long time perhaps only second to mvp/squirtle gsl finals (which also has some amazing macro game examples). I think there is no doubt that micromanagement at the very least is much harder for terran than for protoss in the lategame, but it is most certainly not insurmountable. It seems terrans are just now learning how they have to setup and force engagements in the lategame and use defensive planetaries to defend lategame protoss remaxes and zealot counterattacks. Before someone says "but mvp and mma are two of the best terrans!" (Which is laughable anyways given mma' past trouble with toss), keep in mind squirtle and creator are some of the best pvters in the world (hell creator recently took out the likes of maru/jjakji and squirtle stomped the shit out of amazing terrans like taeja/mkp) If memory serves me right, I remember that every heavy macro game in MVP vs Squirtle finale was won be Squirtle, including game, where MVP had 20 battlecruisers and 3rd of Squirtle army was on an island, all MVP victory's was early game cheese or mid game push. You're absolutely correct. However, a big lesson that we learned from game 5 in that series was this; a maxed out army of Ghost + BC will win IF you can emp the mothership and the templar. However, if the vortex goes down, followed by feedbacks on the BC's, then Terran will get destroyed. This is similar to the mid game TvP, as well. If Protoss is allowed to get the engagement they want, they will always win. But if Terran is able to preemptively cripple their army beforehand, they stand a chance. The pressure is on the Terran to pull this off, however, and it's a lot easier said than done. And that's why Protoss USUALLY wins after they get splash damage on the field. Actually those two scenarios aren't the same thing at all. There's many ways for a Protoss player to win a midgame engagement against Terran. There is exactly 1 way to beat mass BCs, and that's with Archon Toilet. I just tested it in the Sandbox unit tester to make sure, but it looks like it's that Toss still comes out on top, as long as upgrades are even and toss has a good amount of feedback/voidray/archon (though obviously the battle isn't nearly as one-sided as when vortex is used). I think it comes down very much to ghost control and getting those emp's off. Successful emp's will absolutely destroy toss late game when BC's are in play, but failure to emp will result in Toss being able to still win engagements. Weird. There's a scenario similar to this with a pack of marines versus gateway units and a spell caster... I don't understand how more people don't have a problem with the way fungal kills airplay. I'm not sure how you replace it but rooting just can't be good design. | ||

I think people glanced over my post, saw reapers, and immediately started thinking about how reapers suck instead of looking at what I said in the context of the rest of my post. Please explain to me how 45 seconds is quick. And if we're talking about killing drones, hellions do that much better. They cost no gas, can take more hits, do better against lings and can kill drones faster. So if they don't work anymore, how the hell are reapers going to work. | ||

Reapers don't build quick 45 seconds is ALOT , thats as much as a Siege Tank | ||

Here's a quote from Dustin Browder. Dustin Browder has stated in an interview that, "It was a bit of a mis-step for us. The players showed us what it was capable of and we nerfed it into obscurity. This will be addressed in Heart of the Swarm." You obviously dont get it. The time and gas you spend making reapers is not worth the harass you are going to do with them, BECAUSE YOU CANT KITE THE QUEEN! Any decent zerg player is not going to let you fly around in his main killing drones, he will simply pull his queen or 2 and hold the pressure. Meanwhile the Terran is on one base and the Zerg is droning up. | ||

Cause I do remember Terran having the worst winrate last month and having under 50% in each matchup. Either way TvZ didn't need be changed. TvP is misleading, it's still a terrible matchup. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to deal with TvT being my only good matchup now. Sometimes TLPD doesn't update fast enough, the OP only use the data available at that time, some games weren't up yet. | ||

Sorry, but what was that about reapers building quick? Do you even know the build time? I guess siege tanks build quick too. | ||

One good fungal can hit 9 marines, then he can just roll banelings in and wipe you out. With the Zergs ability to replenish their army, they will come out on top more often then not. | ||

Imho Terran is going through culture shock right now. This time last year every single unit except battle cruisers were fucking god like. As said earlier, we'll feel bothered by this when 50%+ of Code S is Zerg. Or did all Terrans just think that was a coincidence. | ||
