Is that strat feasible for most of us or just ForU? What would be the build for it?

it's not feasable unless you get a good resource advantage. just like forU did in that game

but then if you're way ahead you could do any unit combo and be fine

Give it a shot.

But when I think about it Macro is a very important factor in the TvP game and it might just hurt your ground unit count pretty badly. But then Disfunctional tanks will really help you and lots of Terran players don't spread their tanks out so I think you could pull it off.

Get stasis instead if you have a resource advantage that big.

I think I remember a vod (ash.Swift maybe?) of him doing it, the terran looked to be on a lower level than him though

I'm not thinking just like as part of a super late game start, I'm thinking like midgame primary strat.

Obviously it can be put to great use if you have excess stargates, since you have the fleet beacon up anyway, but is it possible to play sair/goon straight through?

This strategy is only viable on maps like lune, where terran don't have antiair like turrets. Also note that time of this spell is really short so you must really hurry

I also suggest it on R point where almost all Terrans go out with 200/200 all in.

I don't think it could be a viable strat as a main strategy. I mean, I can do 1gate scout, but it would never be an actual strategy.

I agree. As a T player, I've only had sair/goon done on me twice in a real game, both of which were on Luna. It worked better than I thought it would, since the P was able to stop many of my attacks, but he never really was able to outmass me and control the map. Eventually, I just outmassed him.

Yeah, it isn\'t really possible against somebody at the same level as you. If you have the game all wrapped up, then it\'s probably a fun little strategy that shows off a little skill. Otherwise, it could cost you the game if you lack good micro/macro.

Vultures will speedily zoom out of the disruption webs and can deal lots of damage, as microing the dragoons against vult/mine is hard to do while controlling the corsairs too. Corsair/d-web just in general takes too much micro its difficult to pull off. Nal_rA\'s reaver/corsair/d-web is so hard in that sense as well.

I think it can be a cool answer to turtle terran. as toss in pvt you DO have the economic advantage, so if he fucks up an early attack and you get a serious advantage and don't want to wait late game 2-3 arbiters/carriers I think it can be really good and pimp and effective, especially if he's not at all prepared for them

This strategy worked for me lots of times. I think it's important to get 2nd expo a little bit later a prefer massing goons and one stargate corsairs to 110/200.
If there is a point in the game, when you see terran rolling towards you, you have to attack him in that moment, because he will just siege his tanks close to each other very fast. Webs will own these tanks
If you see teran slowly pushing towards getting his 2nd expo with tanks spread out, mining fields and turrets, you should abandon corsairs and concetrate on macro, getting more expos and getting carriers later. Webs will just not help you a lot.

Massing goons and corsairs till 110/200 off of one base ? I don't think that's possible cause terran will steam roll u with the better econ off 2 bases.
