The reason you won this is because the Protoss never acquired splash. Bio Armies on their own destroy everything the protoss has, barring fully upgraded airtoss. This is why TvP often "devolves" into Terran trying to deal with the protoss splash (High Templar, Disruptors, Collosi) while Protoss tries not to lose those same units. The winner of each engagement depending on how much splash damage the Terran army takes. Your earlygame has gotten a fair bit cleaner, though you still slip on the same things as before the instant we hit the midgame. Continue those upgrades, continue expanding your production. You'll get there :)
Thanks man! That’s really interesting to read. You’re right, now I think about, I always lose to the Protoss players when they get splash units Hey just incase you didn’t know, I’m running a Q and A on the channel. You can submit a question on the discord and the video with all the answers will be out Friday
I love the Phoenixes wasting energy on lifting individual mariners, while your tanks beat the crap out of everything he has :D :D Metal leagues are fun :D
Good ol' Phoenix Colossus. It's pretty popular and also hard to face if you don't know the counter. Usually, you just spam vikings and your usual bio army. Use the vikings to focus the colossus and the bio should clean the rest. The phoenix can't kill your stuff fast enough to matter.
Nice one. You shouldnt use the all armey key, ur better off using control grueps 1 and 2 being main and second armey, 3 harras, scout, or spellcastors, 4production buildings and 5 command centors. Get into the habit of doing this and it will improve ur game
21:19 You can see here how you managed to beat him. He was floating over 4k minerals, and though you also were floating a lot, you had the new production structures to help spend it, so you could build back up more quickly to finish him off. You forgot to add the 4 extra barracks you made to your production hotkey or you'd have had an ever bigger force at the end! Try to remember to instantly add those structures to the hotkey as soon as they start building. You mention near the end that you should have added more bases and planetaries, but I disagree - you want to avoid long games whenever possible at this point. Even getting a third base is debatable, but the large majority of your games should be wrapping up by 10-12 minutes. You should be getting the money from your 2-3 bases turned into units, not 2-3 extra bases, or you'll end up like your opponent here lol. Nice win!
So I'm really happy to hear you mention tasking your opponents attention. It shows you are moving past just game mechanics and going into game theory which will help you play and think about the game. Biggest thing I'd suggest is trying to cement your build. You seem to go for a reaper expand into factory and second barracks. So try to make sure you are grinding off those hard edges making sure things are coming out crisp and as early as resources permit. Make sure doing the build feels as natural as walking. That alone will get you to diamond.
