Think a little about your usual gameplan and see its weaknesses and strengths, make predictions on what might be a good thing to do. Then try it in a game, and adjust with experience. Taking other people's advice is fine, but learning by yourself is great too. Plus, this is a game, you're meant to mess around a bit, don't take the ladder too seriously too soon.  | ||

I've been using a mech-style play for the last week. Use blue-flame hellion drops and harass. Even top diamond players have serious issue dealing with that. | ||

3 blue-flame hellions in somebody's base will outright kill a lot of diamond players and it's something that you can use all the way up into the GSL. The best builds are ones that can kill on their own, set yourself up with an advantage, and be usable at all levels of play. Something with a hellion drop fits that well. | ||

http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/4325/SovieT_vs_BMP http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/4323/Davinci_vs_SovieT The games v Heyoka and Davinci were really frustrating. I feel like I was just a little.. something away from winning. The finals pushes in those games trashed me. The BMP game I felt like I did something very well. I guess its the tank contain, but I wasnt really sure when I should or how far I should push out in the two games I lost. And holy SHIT blue flame hellions wreck :O | ||

Should I get dropships constantly? I prefer building the starport before the 2nd factory for the dropship harass and option to build vikings or ravens. Be active with your hellions. You should be checking watch towers, expansions and follow up with drops. In the first replay, Protoss gave you opportunities to roast probes at his natural and take out two sentries. Hellions are really good for poking and probing because they fast, cheap and can tank hits from stalkers. Furthermore, if you had used drop ship, there is no way Protoss could have protected both the main and the natural from hellions. I don't like the early tank push. Unless they are behind a solid wall or something, I don't think two tanks are really a threat. Also, I do not like going for a tank-push oriented play on opposite positions on metalopolis because of the huge rush distance. | ||
