Mass void ray counter as Terran?

[.Apollo]

Ok...So the only build i've been playing in Bronze is Mass void rays....Anyone have any tips on countering other than Mass marines or mass vikings? They do it right off the start as well...So not like i can mass thor or anything....

Tips would be appreciated

you should put early pressure on them and scout to see if they get an early gas and early cybernetics core. if they do you can assume they are going to be teching up. if you scout a little more you may be able to see their stargate eventually. but if you see they are spending money on tech then you can counter by building a lot of marines and marauders to pressure them in the early game because they won't have the resources to be building units. if you let it get into the late game before you attack them then you will likely lose without massing vikings or marines.

Early Cybernetics is just an indication that you aren't being proxied/rushed.

Its more the early double Gas. if you scout them and they have 2 gas before 20 supply then you know some heavy tech is inc. Either way you need to keep scouting. Blindly going Mass anything is very bad. For EG going mass marries thinking they are going voids would be a good idea... But what if he is going HT/Colos? Then you get proverbially pooped on.

If you are playing Terran learn to medivac drop marines/marauders in the enemy base. That will force the enemy to bring their army to you in order to kill the drop, and thus show you his army comp.

And if all goes well you can kill off important tech structures and see what he has in his base. Meaning you can counter successfully.

If all else fails, Comsat his base.


I also just checked Reddit and saw this image which is suitable

It's because the guy playing Zerg next to him defended him with his life the entire game while he didn't build units till get got void rays. Aran you know of who i speak.

I know exactly what you speak of Antidote.

And for everyone that dosen't. Me and Antidote were playing Bronze 4v4's(Pftchhhhh =S) We met up with this same guy twice in a row. And both times all he did was Mass Void Rays. First game Antidote was playing Random Zerg and kept him alive. The next time it was 3 toss and Terran. We decided to not defend him because he will never learn if he carries on playing a T2 unit without any T1 things to back it up. You can easily go 3 gate Zealot + Voids. But no... He went 3 Stargate 1 base. And proceded to get gibbed by enemy marauder force.
