been staring at that thing for the past 2 minutes, and they are the same! At least, I think it was 2 minutes....it kinda put me in a trance....

Good protoss

the best thing with protoss is that, if u have a squad of 24 carriers u can anhilate just about anyone u come against, doesnt matter how many turrets or cannons u have, u will always lose.

Really? 24 carriers can beat ANYTHING? Even, oh... 6 Goliaths, 8 Ghosts with lockdown and 4 Wraiths?

24 carrs is hardly feasible, but yeah, it can beat that combo, buddy. Nice try. 6 goliaths ain't shit. wraiths are really weak to 24 carrs even though, wraiths normally counter them. Good luck pulling off 16 lockdowns before your ghosts die.

Actually, the ghosts could have a chance of beating it, if we count that, if you hope 4 wraiths could beat the carriers, there are observers. Therefore, 8 250 mana ghosts could cloack and double lockdown without much trouble, since they were invisible. Then, yeah, you only had to kill the other 8 with the wraiths, and off you go to the rest :p

Yes. The ghosts ran out of mana, the goliaths ran out of ammo and the wraith is out for lunch.

Generally 24 Carriers would poon almost anything, unless the opponent was given heaps of time to make a decent counter, which generally doesn't happen. Same with amassing 24 Carriers :rolleyes

BOT: Bad side is that Protoss is weak when vsing Zerg.

Probably because it's a guessing game for p in the beginning. Aside from that, I guess it's ok. Then there's the fact hydras can dodge storm. Then ultra/crackling is also a problem late game.

Island games tend to favor p ALOT more, though.

Assuming your alive long enough to have 24 carriers, your opponent has to be just as strong or stronger. Playing Z, a mass of hydras would own the carriers. Do the math, 24 x 6 = 184psi. 100 Hydras, equaling 100 Supply, would be overkill for Carriers. The Hydras would almost instantly kill all of the interceptors = GG NORE. Not to mention scourges, and defilers. Carriers are not as strong as you think. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong on Temple, the only way to play...
