well i think terran is alot harder to control/produce stuff, meaning an evenly skilled protoss will beat an evenly skilled terran more often.

heres the last game vs red archon in our series of 8 ladder games.

Can anybody recommend me some recent VODs of the various matchups? So far I've pretty much just gone 1 gate core and gone collo. It's gotten me to diamond but I'm not really improving. Or does anybody good just want to play me so I watch the reps and figure out new ways of playing? thanks. I need to figure out how to use HTs and phoenixs (whats the plural of phoenix?)...

I must watch all your games.

Quite a few of my PvTs involve getting a macro lead, losing 80 supply in exchange for 20 of T's, and then hilariously dying.

I am sure this is not right.

dtarchon:Hi Nirvana: Terran and Protoss seem to be pretty evenly matched imo..its all about the right unit composition at the right time.

Any protoss player will find it a pain to deal with bioballs and siege tanks in strong positions and the pressure is on the protoss player to maneuver and successfully cast spells to even the odds. And of cos the magic word - ghosts -> that can also make a big difference in battles.

Just want to start a small discussion if you dont mind.

i think protoss is alot easier to control then terran. let me eleborate > at high levels a terran has to have very good control if he wants to use BIO to fight protoss, he has to constantly kite with his army, a second of laspe in concentration and his whole army is stormed to death. say you have 4 templers + its alot easier to storm a ball then it is to control it. 1a is sucide against any decent protoss with storm

and feedback outranges emp. so all you have to do is spread your temps far apart then feedback the ghosts as they come, of coz u always have to have an ob to see his ghosts coming. worse come to worse if ur temps get emped, dont fight, just move back and warp in up 8 new templars with ur gateways and viloa

i know a ton of high level terrans who have trouble vs protoss late game cause of this. also keep in mind production is alot harder for terrans with diff buildings and build times and then moving that army to the fight unlike protoss where ur just warp everything in with 1 hotkey right smack in the battle.

I only skimmed through it, but that was a sweet game nirvava : ]
Seems like the key against tanks is to move out into the middle of the map before terran sieges so he can't siege quite as close to your base, backup wait for unsiege then attack. Seems quite obvious, but.... not? lol

Got any games against mmm? Particularly vs early marine+marauder pressure

EDIT: Are you sure feedback outranges emp? Thought it was the other way round o.O
Whatever floats your boat.

In my case I think I'm just not getting enough stuff. Your rep showed you had a lot more templar in your mix and just constantly stormed/feedbacked, while I storm him/FF medivacs, he runs out of the way with stim, chargelots melt, and I am sad. When your 12 warpgates kicked in you could absolutely hammer him with nonstop spells.

I'll keep working at it, still only at 600~ points anyhow. Very appreciative of any reps you post, of course!

$%^& there are a lot of terrans DX And i'm starting to think it's my worst match up simply because I'm not patient enough to wait for the terran to unsiege lol

<.< at least i'm plat div rank 1 now >.> diamond here i come!

Question though, how do you best deal with mass muta (+ lings)? I guess this is kind of a map specific question since usually I try to put on pressure and get the zerg to invest in other stuff. But on desert oasis it's kinda difficult cause of the long path.
Specifically I had a zerg FE against me, hatch before pool, into mass muta. Usually I'd just get a 2nd gate asap and put on pressure with chronoboosted zealots, to delay whatever he was gonna do.
Should I do the same thing on desert oasis? I tried void rays that game, but he got 2 queens at both bases, then i saw the mutas and I switched to phoenixes, but only out of 1 stargate. He eventually got way more mutas then i could handle.
So I guess I'm asking 2 questions:
How do you respond to hatch before pool build on desert oasis?
How do you fight off mass muta/ling?

I tend to open 9 pylon 12 gate on desert oasis btw. But i'm starting to think that 10 pylon is better all the time.
Whatever floats your boat.

btw check it out, big news, SEA league!

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=145211

SG has 10 slots for their team, the 6 chosen already are all in the top 10 @ sc ranks (with the exception of ice). So its just 4 more slots available, at this rate it looks like the remaining slots will go to Sonyalouise OxygeN SwEEt Jix. Deadline date for ladder will probably be next Monday coz i think the league starts the following weekend

also some more SEA commentary vods are out




oh i played redachon 8 straight ladder games today lol he tried really hard but pvt is too much in the favour of P imo. whats worse is looks like blizzard is gonna nerf terran lol




In your game 4, did Glade dc or leave? I always get stuck in that kind of situations when playing against toss and I wanted to see how he handles it.

I tend to open 9 pylon 12 gate on desert oasis btw. But i'm starting to think that 10 pylon is better all the time.

If he goes mass muta off 2 hatches I usually get 2 stargates and get air superiority, which leads into being able to move out freely and attack ovies/lift queens and the like. 1 stargate won't give you enough phoenixes to match 2 hatch + queens. Making too many phoenixes, though, leaves you more open to Z swapping over to hydras or whatever else. Either way, ensure you have cannons + sentries with army (guardian shield is massively effective vs muta bounce).

On DO the rush distance is appalling so you probably should have tried to just expand yourself and get a forge/a few cannons for defense, then go air, rather than 2 gate against hatch before pool. If it's a closer map and he hatches first, 2 gate can ruin his day, as I'm sure you already know.

he left lol cause the game was over (i had dts in his base again) and he instant searched the next game. he always gets angry when he losses but thats a good common trait in top players, so they force themselves to play better next time
