i never like collo because they are the easiest counter either mass vikings or corruptors would do the job easily..
When you guys talk about pheonix do you mean 2 star gates?

QUOTE(Calvin Seak @ Dec 22 2010, 06:01 PM) Thanks for the input haha I didnt know pheonix could make so many difference.. anyways the new thing is tank raven medi marines now -.- i usually do 1 stargate as based on what i've scouted, i can go VR (if he wall) or go phoenix with chrono (1 base cant support 2 stargate phoenix with chrono btw so i dun really like doing that on 1 base)...i never like collo because they are the easiest counter either mass vikings or corruptors would do the job easily.. When you guys talk about pheonix do you mean 2 star gates? i'll couple that with 2-3 gates usually... i dun really rush colossus as well... they are more to my late game units (when i'm on 2 base or 3 base) as u still need them for their sustained DPS in the end and they work great with storms... but since usually u need robo for obs, they are a pretty decent transition... |

i think 1 stargate with chrono is sufficient to harrass mineral line + scouting...2 stargate might be too much of a commitment to 1 tech....if your pheonix survives, they can protect the collosus at late game. pretty smooth transition from 1 star 2/3 gate to collo/pheonix....all off 2 base of course... -.- 1 base protoss cant do much other than all ins *troll face*

It is useful if you go for it on early stage, not that useful in mid to late game. |

You can actually mix in DT in the big deciding battle of the game. Most of the time enemy will not notice it till it has done serious damage to give you the advantage.

oGsmc seems to have every method to counter a terran player given he scouted what the opponent was doing.

Well, im paranoid..and it does help guard my ramp or expansion.
If you put the cannon on the high ground and ff well, the cannon usually racks up many kills. works well against MM rush |

captain obvious pheonix will be a btr choice cuz BL cant hit air but sometimes player will choose to go blink stalker because they are already massing gateway. (it will be too late and expensive to go stargate)
