protoss = 1a vs terran?  if you want to get blanket EMP'd perhaps...

managing templar and using a warp prism to hold some of them is not easy to do...newb 1a protoss will get smashed by any decent mid-high master terran...  dodging storms and EMPing templar is extremely fun when playing terran, and not that hard..


I am mid masters.

Protoss late game control is stupid compared to what a Terran has to manage.

Even if you do manage to trade in an engagement evenly, there is nothing a terran can do vs 20 warp gate insta warp in.

/e oh sorry, the protoss can't just 1a your right, sometimes they have to move to a different spot because of a choke.

Bio is wasted effort. Go mech, play clever, win games.

in tvp...

early game
they get motherwship core which gives high ground vision/can straight up kill a terran if he's playing greedy with no bunker (with 1-2 stalker and a zealot + motherwship core)
it can also harass the mineral line...slow scv's etc if the map allows it (like spawning by air or w-e)

also the mothership core stops any sort of early game all ins (marine scvs all ins, 3 barracks after expand with alot of marauders (at like 8:30 with no medievacs)

mid-game
they hold medievacs timings pretty good with almost no units at all with the mothership core...huge range, does nice dps but damage isnt too big.
Only way I see a protoss die is if they get double dropped or something and they react badly...or they have absolutly no units at all

late game
I turtle with cannons at my third and ht's stalkers in my main while massing a deathball 1aaaaaaaaaa

+++ they have the best 1 base all ins in the entire game...


tvp resumed in less than 2 minutes
every protoss i play either all in or just mass turtle to 200 supply unless I fuck up a battle and they counter attack me lol


If you die to this poke. Your build sucks dick and you have terrible positioning. If you know you can't cut corners, why the fuck would you. Obviously you're stupid then.

I agree the early game is a bit safer. But, there are a TON of aggressive openings from Terran that are very strong. Opening reaper and not losing it. Then doing something aggressive while sending reaper into mineral line. Hellion openers are VERY good in the current meta because of how greedy Protoss has to play. In the midgame, you can abuse the FUCK out of speed medivacs, as long as you're not retarded. Also early pressures will forces nexus cannon, meaning they wont have enough energy. You can poke the front to force nexus cannon and go to their main, or vice versa. You can do multi pronged stuff. Fuck, you don't even have to do pressures. Just if they try to take a quick third abuse the fuck out of your speed of light medivacs that let you NEVER be punished for being in a bad spot. In the late'ish game, you go mass ghost hellbat viking /biomedi. Don't make too many medivacs. If you can afford it, a couple PDFS. You can abuse positioning with nukes if they go mass cannon mode. And if P is maxed, drops are even better since they can't warp in.

Honestly it sounds like you're playing the matchup absolutely wrong. And if you are really that fucking depressed. Go mech because it's the easiest 1a joke I've seen in my life. There are so many 2base shove/all ins right now from mech that just BO win. Tank Hellbat is fucking amazing, and not every P opens SG. So you face fuck them. Against any templar opening, you just win. Vs Collosus you either just win, or trade well.

Stop fucking crying and l2p.

You don't have to play clever with mech. You can be a fucking braindead retard and take games off people infinity times better than you. What's there to do with mech? Just macro.

my 72% bio winrate says something else

even in games where i havent been able to deal any damage at all in early/mid due to good protoss positioning, i just sat back, did nothing but macro up to 6 bases, made ghosts.
went to engage, emped everything and T 1a'd all over them (vs 1300+ master protosses) and collected ez win

i find zergs harder to beat personally but every other terran says the complete opposite, dunno why :S

dodging storm, stutter stepping and EMPing templar is 100000000x harder than anything protoss has to do

Haven't seen a Terran stutter step vs me in ages. They all just go bio hellbat ghost and literally 1a me, lead with ghosts EMP, and troll.

It's as if all T forgot how to play in hots, because it's not hard to scan obs. Cloak ghosts. EMP EVERYTHING. free win, or free base.
