[@sheglova]

I think Terran's ability to scout in the early game, when it is really crucial, is pretty terrible compared with observers for Protoss and overlords and creep for Zerg. You *could scan* but you desperately need those early minerals and it feels like you just fall behind if you don't take them.

Scans takes away the ability to get resources back, so the first reaper is a necessity early on to scout.

[@jiayojames]

The only reason for that second supply depot with the cc first on high ground is that he's paranoid about lings. I think this guy seriously got traumatised by a 12 pool to the point where he's too scared to even send out a reaper or hellions to scout in case the big bad lings get them.

[@ryanspinoza6586]

I am quite sure the one who sent this was the Zerg player and claimed to be the Terran. The replay kept going for a bit after the T left the game and the animation of the units didn't end until the Z left which means this replay was sent from the Zerg's replay file. When I watch my own replays and other people's replays, it ends exactly as soon as I leave the game or the person who sent it leave the game and it doesn't even show their or my "[Opponent] has left the game.". This guy probably just sent it either to make fun of the T (maybe cos they trash talked after the game in whisper) or just content and attention.

[@egebabus3423]

@@Pitapie ?

[@richardgallimore5976]

@@Pitapie Archons deal bonus damage to biological units and all Zerg units are biological. However, Archons only have 3 range and are therefore countered by long range Zerg units. In the early game Roaches are generally made vs Archons as they have 4 range and it takes Archons more hits to kill a Roach than to kill Zerglings or Banelings. Roaches aren't a hard counter or anything, but they hold their own early game. In the mid game Zerg can make Hydralisks (Range 6) and these are decent vs Archons because they outrange them by quite a bit. Mid-late game Lurkers are decent vs Archons because 8 range vs 3 (so Lurkers get in a few hits before Archons start attacking). Late game Ranged Lurkers or Brood Lords are good. Now the Zerg does have to make sure they are able to fight with their range because yes in a straight up fight with equal army values Archons do actually counter every single Zerg unit (I just tested it and Hydras, Lurkers and BLs all lost, lol). Basically attack from far enough way that Lurkers can't hit you. You can have fodder units like Roaches in front so Archons waste time hitting cheap units while Hydras or Lurkers or BLs do damage.

[@RantingRaymond]

Think he did! Pay attention at the very end of the match, normally at the end all units freeze once the player recording the replay leaves. The lings were still attacking the SCVs for a moment after Ananke left the game!

[@enumaelish8247]

That moment when you watch a Terran, the race that has a free scout button, spend 18 minutes in a game without seeing anything the enemy does... He didn't even know if the enemy base exists or not... Actually, I think I figured it out, the reason he thought his opponent was cheating is because he always had an army that appeared out of nowhere, while he didn't even have a base!
