Starcraft – Good practice for protoss player against MMM in PvT

starcraft-2starcraft-protoss

Currently, I'm bronze player in US league, I always have a problem in the battle situation with my army against MMM pattern.

My composite army always contain zealot/stalker/sentry(not much)/HT/Archon(sometime)

Sometime, I can use psi storm and feedback on their medivac but I lose the HT sometime because my problem is bad micro in the battle situation like this.

So, my question. Do you have any tips, youtube or practice map to practise? :\

The Terran MMM technique is easily defeated by the Protoss Deathball technique. The Deathball takes advantage of large clusters of weak units which is exactly what MMM is.

Basically, you create a "ball" which consists of:

  • Colossi (w/ range upgrade) in the centre, this is the key element
  • Stalkers creating a forward arc or ring around the Colossi as a buffer
  • Immortals (optional) to provide support against armored targets
  • Sentries (optional) for +2 armor and preventing the enemy from spreading out (force field)

Your Colossi target the largest clumps of Marines and Marauders, while keeping them out of range. The stalkers shoot down Medivacs that wander too close and assist with cleaning up Marauders. Immortals are a hard counter to marauders as well if they are more armor focus.

If your opponent uses vikings to attack the Colossi, upgrade your Stalkers with blink - and blink towards the vikings.

This strategy is effective as your Colossi deal more damage than the Medivacs can heal, often using multiple Colossi on the same target to one-hit-kill swaths of Marines and Marauders. The Protoss Death Ball punishes terrans without tanks.
