Because in BW you would have to select each medic individually and tell them to cast blind one by one and you can't shift queue spells ..
Because in BW medics weren't even used in PvT
Because in BW everything actually took skill


In SC2 you see Protoss moving out, scan and shift attk all the observers ( probably 3 or less ), scan again, send cloaked ghost spread out and emp, then 1ta. Not a pimpest play, I've done it so many times, there's absolutely nothing hard about it.

And no, you should never send your ghosts in front unless they're cloaked and there's no observers. There's why you're losing. You're welcome.


your strategy works when on the defending side of a protoss 1a

if you're attacking in you need ghosts in the front or near the front



my pimpest play comment wasn't to suggest that sniping observers is worthy of an award ... just to point out that it sounds easier on paper than it is in reality. Having 2 observers following colossus means they're quite hard to see, let alone target. What we see "all the time" is derpy protoss putting the observer between the two armies and getting it scan-killed, then having no other observers on the map cuz terrible ...

You take positional advantage, usually in the mid or outside their base. You don't actually attack, you basically just make them attack into your concave.

lol ... again though that's not winning ... simply not losing. What's forcing the protoss to attack in? definitely not tanks, maybe nukes?

Mineral starvation/drops/very greedy T play behind that perhaps?

If they don't attack you just build 50 obitals and take the map while forcing them out of position with drops and you might get a perfect engage. Otherwise you can nuke push them, eventually protoss will have to attack and you won't lose because your comp > theirs.

It's like saying that going broodlord infestor is simply not losing because Protoss doesn't have to attack. When they spine push their way to my base and take advantage / the whole map I do have to attack.
