Both sides are imba depending on who you talk to. Hero did really well, but eventually those base harass tactics were just massively inefficient. GJ Thorzain! | ||

Neither seems sure which side of a maxed PvT battle is imba right now. ^^ I think with a 'good' engagement and army control, the Terran lategame with 24 ghosts, ~14 vikings and the rest bio + medivacs is nearly impossible to beat. You need to scan and kill the observers so the cloaked ghosts survive (move them into the Protoss army, so they don't suffer AoE from Colossus. Vikings with damage upgrades take down colossi really fast and yeah... thats when you have PERFECT engagements. Thing is, 1 observer surviving and you losing your ghosts can switch everything back to Protoss and if Protoss did bank money and won the engagement, you are dead as Terran. Its all just a control-war I think. In Beta it was just army a-move into army a-move, now its VERY VERY sick control and map awareness. I really think which WAY its going, yet I think the match up is so fragile, you can win a lost game or lose a won game in an instant. | ||

Ghosts son.... but in all seriousness, this kind of does goto show how powerful Ghosts are. Snipe and emp nullifies templar and archons, with the mass vikings stopping him from even making collosi.... and with no AoE damage gateway armies will just straight up die to stimmed bio, even with all of that supply dumped into vikings and ghosts. I think this is surprising to people only because so many Terrans have been complaining about late game PvT, when really its fairly balanced at the moment. | ||

If you can nullifie Protoss AoE (Templar, Archon, Colossi) which all works with Ghost/Viking you are very good to go. Also cloaked ghosts cannot be attacked if you have no obs (dying to vikings)) so yeah, its just very possible :-)! Watch EmpireHappy play, he nearly never loses TvP engagements^^! | ||
