You should always get at least 2-4 medivacs first before adding 2-4 vikings for fast overlord kills.  You don't want to do just 1 because 1 is only good for picking off far away overlords...with 2-4 if you scout where he keeps the majority of them you can do serious damage (esp if you couple it with a big push/pressure at the front).



waste of gas. when zerg players see a viking they're moving their overlords to the base + there are mostly only around 5 overlords out of the zergs base, which make 4 vikings not really costeffective

The whole point is to catch the overlords in the base and kill them when they're grouped up in the base while pushing the front. Could you actually READ what I said before you criticize something that I'm not supporting?

No clue why I made a new thread. I'll just copy pasta it into here.



I don't think I'll ever understand tvz. Everything about it is just a question mark to me. What am I missing?

It's usually not macro, because my scv production has gotten soooo much better. Is it unit comp? Is it timing? I have no clue.

I think I make too many tanks. Is it the amount of buildings I have per base? Fuck man, I don't know. I'll post a few replays I have.

Dis.  Thors are not that great against big air targets because they spread too much.  Vikings are THE way to go vs broods.  But thors can be fucking magic against those corruptor balls that are targetting your vikings :>


Cloak.  EMP.  GG infestors.



I don't often see overseers with Zerg armies unless they're expecting banshees...



It's all about using them well...you can't just amove or focus fire with banshees, it's hit and run.  With reapers, hellions, and banshees, Terran was very much designed to be a hit-and-run, high micro, economic damage race.  Sometimes people get away from the roots of the race and expect to be able to win huge fights against races that are designed to win huge fights.  Protoss, I'm looking at you.

But I'm not saying it's impossible to win big fights.  Or that Protoss is OP.  Different races with different strengths and different ways of winning games.


Hell no, you need to be fucking terrible to have 1 emp to hit more than one of your infestors, those untis are so fat, and the emp radius is so small, it's just not fucking worth it, and sniping is slow

Excuse me again, but what leauge are you? not meaning to offend you, but you don't seem to be playing too high.

He's been in mid plat as random for years.
Says protoss is easy 1a bullshit race yet has the worst record with protoss.
Tell him HT is too slow to feedback infestors, he'll tell you to put them in a warp prism so 4 of them can be fungal locked to death at once without being able to unload.
