Re: IC Starcraft 2 European Tournament

Im really having problem with siege tanks aswell, if they have a marauder/marine cluster ahead of them, should i just endure the bombardment and kill the marines, or rush into them to kill the tanks.

Re: IC Starcraft 2 European Tournament

when you say warp in units, you mean building new ones right, you cannot warp your excisting units can you?

Re: IC Starcraft 2 European Tournament

he means load 2 immortals per prism and drop them on top of the tanks. wont work if he isn't shit and has AA though, vikings and turrets. if they dont have detection try DTs, if they are lacking AA then do that smartz said. day9 did a build where he used phoenix as well to lift up the tanks while he was attacking, but if he has alot of rines/thors your phoenix will get shredded.

Re: IC Starcraft 2 European Tournament

im in france on holiday atm, so can only do SC2 offline mode tongue

practicing against computer is pretty decent way to work on my countering tho, ive really started to love immortals as a counter to roaches and marauders (since roaches and marauders is the natural counter to zealots/stalkers) And ive found that using sentries a lot more for just forcefielding in their army to split it up works very well.

Also another question:

I love the storms on high templars, but it takes a lot of time and gas to get there. if you have two or four templars, but not yet storms, how powerful and cost effective are archons compared to colossi/immortals or just waiting until the templars get storms?

LORD HELP OREGON

Re: IC Starcraft 2 European Tournament

archons suck balls except in a few key situations:

1. mass mutalisk
2. ultralisk
3. huge battle, all HTs out of energy

never use them against terran. EMP takes away all shields and all energy as well (which would leave archons with likie 10 HP). probably should be nerfed. range 12 (counting splash) and can't be dodged + doesn't need an actual target to fire is kinda imba

Re: IC Starcraft 2 European Tournament

smartz another question, lately ive been playing alot of 3v3 and 4v4 with my friends, however i have ome problems on deciding on whats the best choice for protoss lategame.

I usually end up with mass stalkers, and sometimes mass carriers, however i feel that whenever i meet decent enemies with some thors, vikings etc i cant seem to win.

what u sugest?
