Here are a bunch of ghost mech replays, I think many are from the patch b4 ghosts were buffed, and the one b4 that. People really underrate it but it can be pretty powerful. Enjoy :thumb:

Replay thread: Featured in the Starcraft 2 forum.

If you are just sharing reps then post them there... if you want to make a new blog then you'll have to add more content in order to abide by teamliquid's unwritten rule of "provide something substantial in new threads"

edit: at the least can you explain what ghost-mech exactly entails?

Now i'm not in the Beta but i know a thing or two about ghost mech play. and let me tell you that people may underrate it all day but it can be very powerful indeed. Usually when I do ghost mech I like to build a lot of terran mech units (tanks, helions, thors, vikings) and then some ghosts too so what u end up with is a really great ghost-mech composition and let me tell you, it can be pretty powerful.

source: I can tell it's ghost mech play cus I've seen a lot of ghosts and mech units before

If you press r with ghosts selected and select a biological unit, they will instantly receive 45 damage... the range isn't bad either.

working right now but the content is in the replays :p

Essentially you are meching but maintaining one rax for ghost production, and the goal is to hellion drop mid-game while accumulating a tank/hellion/ghost push that lets you go through immortals to hit their expo.

also, you accumulate x3 nuclear missiles that you will harrass pylon clusters / expos with, while you use your main army elsewhere. It is essentially a strong push with nuclear missile harrassment mid-late game that let's you damage their economy/production while accumulating more tanks/hellions.

vs protoss that cluster their pylons, you can take em down 40-50 in supply sometimes. Depending on their base layout, you'll want to decide on nuking their gateways/pylons or going to triple nuke a nexus. You have a lot of options, you can also simultaenous nuke expos while you push.

vs protoss that spread their pylons/gates out, it's more effective to just look for openings to triple nuke, and you create them from your tank/hellion/ghost push.

so i watched a couple of the reps and my thoughts are:

1) You need to do the rax, fact, ghost, fact build (As opposed to rax fact fact ghost) because otherwise your ghosts are way late and you will die to a well performed immortal push..

2) It will work best on maps with a cliff overlooking your natural like LT and preferably without a back entrance to your base..

3) The hellion/tank drops are very efficient.

4) I'm not sure the nukes are necessary...

5) I havent seen a rep vs a non robo build like charge zeals and temps. (But i guess the vast amount of hellions will take care of those )

Has lots of potential.
you are one of the least benigtedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.
