Well now that I’ve had a few days to play, I’m happy to say I’m back in the Diamond league. While technically, nothing much has changed on my end, I can’t help but feel that now I can blog again. As a platinum player, what’s this blog really worth? But as a Diamond! Now I can give some great advice on how to play.
The topic is Protoss play. Unit composition. Chargelot/Voidray. Great Unit comp, or greatest unit comp?
What I love about this composition is how well it works in every matchup.
PvP Is where this composition really shines. It works so well because voidrays can’t be hit by ground units, like zealots, immortals, or colossus. But they also do extra damage against stalkers and nearly every other protoss unit. I could, with confidence, go chargelot/voidray in any PvP.
PvZ The composition works. An early voidray to clear overlords nearly always pays for itsself. If you continue to pump out voidrays, you’ll have enough to counter mutes, should your opponent make them. If your opponent goes for roaches, you’ll be able to eat those up, too.
PvT is perhaps the weakest matchup to use chargelot/voidray. But I can say that it works right up until about Diamond league. In a recent game, I was narrowly bested by a Terran player who had fantastic micro. The truth is, it’s hard to micro marines against chargelots while also dealing with voidrays. But it is doable. For that reason, at higher levels of play, this is the one matchup where I might not reccomend it. But chargelot/voidray is still good, because it forces your opponent to studder step mico, while all you have to do is A-move.
If you lose all of your archons, simply retreat the voidrays and make another wave of attack after warping in more zealots. Adding in a few colossus, or templar, or tempests, can really make this unit composition unbreakable.
