How would you hold off the 2base hellbat tank all in ? that stuff is crazy strong O_O
I think I versed that maybe a week ago when I opened with a fast colossus style. Soon as I scouted hellbats and tanks, I knew my unit composition wouldn't cut it. I went for blink and a ton of stalkers, then just kept him contained threatening a counterattack. When he finally decided it was enough and moved out, i sniped off his barracks and starport, then proceeded to proxy a stargate somewhere on the map and chrono out a voidray. I focused down the marines with my photon overcharge and used my stalkers to kill off the few vikings he had (losing a few stalkers in the process), then used the single voidray to kill off all the tanks after all his anti air was gone.
As stalkers outrange hellbats severely, I simply kited the hellbats and killed off everything with the remaining stalkers i had. Also, when the push was en-route towards my base, i moved all the probes at my natural, scattering them around the map. That really helped in preventing his OC from landing. There are of course many other ways to deal with that push, such as forcing lift on OC, then using DTs to snipe off the tanks. Or just playing a style that fights it straight up. Every build can be countered if you know its coming.
