Well we had that big time period back in March where a 2 base marine/tank/banshee push was very very popular but it went out of fashion since Toss seemed to learn to deal with it pretty fast. I was pretty surprised Socke struggled quite so much vs that one tbh o-o

Although to be fair, Socke should've built a Stargate the moment he saw the second Port. Also should've had Templar ready at his third. I don't know if a Stargate ios the best idea. Fenixes are good, but then dde builds Vikings. Maybe double robo immo and templars just for feedback with stalkers?
He'd instantly kill all the Banshees, and in a battle the Phoenix would draw Viking fire from the Colossi.

:D Socke needs a moment, as usual :D go Socke, you can do it!

Given all the gas dde was investing in tanks+banshees, i think oldschool 2star phoenix+1robo colo would have worked really well there.

Unless your opponent is going stalker heavy (which is contingent on you getting banshees), or quick colossi, siege mode doesn't really help that much against a zealot heavy army.

If your opponent rushes Colossus with Lance on 1base you're pretty screwed without siege mode because 1 swipe = ~8 dead marines if the P focus-fires correctly and the Colossus practically never die.
If he's made of infinite time and money ye maybe. Colossu with lance off 1 base is so terrible you can prob just kill him with banshees.

Yeah if the T makes a ton of banshees 1base Colossus dies, I think the more relevant problem is that P can just FF in-half and delay for too long if you don't have siege to force the position.

Yeah probably the best thing to do but imagine if some thors would be built. Then you can´t really deal with banshees/vikings. I hate playing and watching mech

DDE loses every time he tries to go MMM, should just keep building tanks and banshees.

6 medivacs before vikings, seems like he miscalculated that. Perhaps really wanted to drop asap?

There were a ton of subtleties that he controlled there. His colossus micro was perfect throughout. Sure, dde messed up by not having Vikings but I didn't expect that kind of control from Socke.

dde has had late factories every time he went bio this SCI T_T
I think XNC is a good Protoss map tbh, it's ok for 1-1-1 but I don't think dde will do that here.
