Proxy Marauder.

Build a standard opener with Reaper FE but skip the reaper and make a reactor instead.

When your rax is about halfway done, send an SCV to their third and build another rax.

Keep pumping out marines from reactor and when the other barracks is done marauders and get concussive shells.

When you have 2 marauders bring your marines all down and join up with the marauders and the third should pop shortly after, keep making marines and marauders during it.

Rush in, kill whatever stalkers he has and he will pull the probes, fight him somewhere where you get the better concave and crush all his probes too and GG.

I had this happen to me last night where his probes actually held my marauders as he got the void rays out but I had a bunch of marines at home. I started another barracks up to get marines out as he had shields too but sending in pressure of marauders to his mineral line made him rage quit.

He messaged me to tell me to fuck off for proxying him... Even though he proxy'd me. LOL

Every single TVP and I haven't lost to a protoss since.If it works in D3 it will work for you.

If you want to combat the void rays another way then open with 1 rax reactor and go for a factory for cyclones. Cyclones kill voids but only if marines hold the distance. If voids can close in with the cyclones they will fucking annihilate them.

You pretty much want to avoid using any unit that is armoured vs voids where you can as they do extra DMG and when aligned they will shrek them hard. Marines DPS is insane and when stimmed it matches the void rays and you can pump out way more marines than he can void rays.

whatabout the expansion pattern? should i take my 2nd and 3rd asoon as i can defend it . or a ninja 3rd?
or should i stay even with the protoss and everything is fine forme

I just take my expands when my next base is full. That should be a good enough indicator.

Make marines and cyclones and don't let yourself get kited be patient and don't let them build up faster than you. Stay on top of macro marines destroy voids and cyclone lock on is handy. Also a starport for medivacs or vikings.

i made an account to bitch about this.

void rays did not need 3 buffs and its stupid they did this right before saying no more changes. WTF? they're just going to give protoss a major buff and leave when PvT is already 60% win?

its not a surprise half of my games against protoss are now proxy void ray. its fucking broken. I've gotten better at dealing with it in 5 games and each time and it STILL doesn't matter. cyclones simply can not get in void ray range or they will die. voids are just too fast now. bunkers are a waste of money and do nothing, they just fly around it. turrets are the only answer, and you must have perfect placement and coordination with the cyclones

Nina 2-0'd future with it, two games in a row, because its so stupid future can know its coming and still lose.

i really dont care if top pros can deal with it, the game shouldn't only be for top pros. against any other proxy build in the game, I'm allowed to make small mistakes and still come out ahead. voids are so strong you can't afford anything. and god forbid you don't sniff out its a proxy stargate, insta lose.

Thors, or Vikings micro'd with spotters. A ghost to EMP the void ray shields away. They tend to clump up pretty quickly.

disagree about thor. If it's a proxy you won't have time, and later, why go for an expensive armoured unit against a unit with bonus vs amour when they're literally countered by a-moved marines
