okay so

pvt late game battle

protoss blinks under vikings, shift ques them, throws up guardian shield, pulls back the first colossi the vikings start to hit, start queing up storms/feedbacks on ghosts, keeping them as split as possible, pulling the zealots back once mmm positioning is too far away, while reinforcing with zealots/pulling ht from other bases

tvp late game battle

terran splits his units as well as he can, while cloaking ghosts, sniping/emping ht/their army, while shift queing vikings on colossi, while kiting the units back, while reinforcing

both have plenty to do


The major difference is Terran units basically have to spilt/stutter step during the entire battle, or they will die. Protoss basically just attack moves or some positioning (which is a constant on both sides) during the entire attack. Terrans end up spilting/stutter stepping forwards or back constantly.

Not like it's hard in itself, the thing that makes terran hard is the constancy of things, is that your macro and micro are both continious, and have to do both simultaneously. While both zerg and protoss' macro and micro are broken up to cycles. This is kinda meaningless in the lower leauges, since there it's only macro what counts, you can just spam units and send them to die, and you will still win, if you have a good macro. On the highest levels the less microability of protoss and zerg in fact favors the terran player (who can always get better and better with his unit control / and macro, but for the other two it's kind of limited)

This is wrong. If you have enough ghosts as T, you just emp everything after sniping the obs.Because cloak is good. Marine/ghost is so much dps it melts everything. You don't have to stutter in the late game, depending on the battle. It obviously helps, but it's not required. Lategame T just mass ghost marine viking medivac and type LOL. can even go BC if you turtle hard enough.

Also, you guys forgot about P having to WP micro HT's,
