k...just got pwned by emp...

[tam]

hey guys, was playing a game an hr ago where i got pwned by a ghost emp...dunno why i didnt see it coming

need some tips as to how to improve myself to wistand this in the future, replay is attached.
yes i know, still a bit newby, but believe me im way better than i used to be :P lol

which i guess doesnt say alot, but meh

again, any tips plz, other than build HT's....as at that stage, i was already in the robo immortal stage when i saw his tech labs, i thought marauders. yes he reaper harassed me early, but i had a quicker stalker that put a stop to it. to get an HT i woulda had to pretty much build right than and there the buildings for it. and i didnt know he had a ghost academy till my scout observer saw it....boo lol

anyways, need help on this plz!

edit: watched my replay a couple of times, and i noticed 2 of my critical mistakes were not pushing after his reapers came at me, and not switching strats....coulda easily switched to collossi or atleast expanded...bah...

I'm sorry to say, but aside from some tricky micro specifically aiming for the ghosts or pull back when you see them... the counter to ghosts is to go high templar and scout the ghost beforehand.

I didn't see the replay but my best suggestion overall is to ensure you're constantly scouting with observers.. an issue I'm personally chronic with.

[tam]

see, when i originally scouted his base with my probe, i knew he was going for his inital reaper harass, as his base looked setup for it. so i prepared for that

by the time i got the observer in his base, his ghost academy was already done....by the time i pushed his ghost and emp was already out, without me noticing, and my guys got pwned.. lol

Gotcha, yeah. I'm sorry that the one thing that you didn't want to hear is what's to be said, but that's unfortunately the case in this point.

[tam]

hmm, well than i guess i'll improve my micro

also if it wouldnt be too much trouble, if an expert like yah gifted can watch this replay and find some faults i can improve upon (yes i realize there may be many lol)

always striving to improve myself

What I do is get a few Phoenix to graviton the Ghosts, then swoop in with my army while they're still in the air.

[Gifted]

Ya know, that's a fantastic idea Gradius, I'll consider that too.

In PvT I'm REALLY preferring getting Templar if hes going MMM. I can feedback his Ghosts and Medevacs and Ravens and Storm his Marines in one hit. Then all the money I saved while spending gas to get Templar goes to Chargelots which mop up his Marauders.

[tam]

see but as u can see in that replay, his ghost mixed pretty well with those marines, that i never even noticed he had made one yet. how would i be able to target him for feedback or for graviton beam? also, he had a ton of marines, the phoenix would have gotten focused down

[moosh]

Lifting with pheonix?
Feedback with high templar?
Dark templar to sneak to the back of enemy lines and kill Ghost?
Blink behind enemy lines and kill ghost or blink away from EMP radius?
Sentrie's forcefield to seperate ghost and some others from the fight?

Hmm... that's all I can think of... void ray on the ghost academy?
