      i mean, he likely won once he sapped all of their energy but taking out the main means the zerg has no tech and it was a much safer and for sure win.

    • @elerushielerushi9180
      @elerushielerushi9180 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Its still very risky to straight attack there earlier. Recalling and taking advantage of the ramp is so much better. Hydras has additional sec from moving and Carrier + Storm has range advantage and clumps those Lurkers and Hydras in the ramp trying to get up or move out. Lurkers and Hydras moving up the ramp takes additional time so its in favor of Carriers and HTs. Its also putting those Vipers and Corruptors in bad position I think. Way less tradeoff vs engaging earlier even he had zap those Vipers energy off + the Tech tree is damage which is another advantage (Assuming Solar has 1 Hive and 1 Spire). Warp Prims is better protected in its spot which is another advantage.

      Good day hope you are all safe. YES it is but way way larger. Which is better. I like Motherships than Arbiters though.
      Mothership:
      - Looks cooler haha.
      - Way way larger life and damage.
      - Mass Recall is way way larger. But with longer duration. (WoL Mothership's Mass Recall is same size as now but almost instant like Arbiter Recall).
      - Cloaking Field cloaks Structures as well unlike Arbiters which affects units only. (Very helpful for me). More in 4v4 games.
      - Time Warp way different than Stasis but a lot better for me. (TW still needs some buff).
      - Having a higher tech level is better as having 1 is better for more cloak units are effective against Zerg vs. SC1 Zerg Overlord which has detection by default rendering Arbiters and any cloak units kinda useless. But having 1 MS is kinda better for me. It depends. Needs a bit more buff though.
