Ever since I saw Taeja hold off a blind 14/14 baneling bust and a 6-pool with 15cc, I've been doing that build almost exclusively TvZ. It's almost digusting how good this build is, especially in the hands of a 350 apm beast such as Taeja. It's actually quite safe vs allins if you play it right, and since it's not a "standard" build, some players don't react well to it.

Just as a side note for people trying to copy Thorzain's build, Thorzain rallies scvs back into gas one at a time after getting his first cc down, and then after his first gas is saturated (3), he takes his second gas.

Great read, thanks for some tips on Thorzain and Illusion's play. They're two of my favorite Terrans and its nice to have a bit of insight. ^_^

You should check out Bomber vs. Ostogy*. He played a similar style to Taeja, with Bio into a BC and raven transition. I think it would be pretty awesome if the style became more common, because it reminds of the Bio + SV from Brood war.

I was really cheering for Taeja in that game against Bomber on Cloud Kingdom (didn't see the other games) since he was using mech. I know he made mistakes, but it seems like a mech player has to play more refined for a longer period of time to win. Get a bio force caught out of position and you're a little behind; get a mech force caught out of position and it's pretty much game over. If mech defends well, they get up a superior army, but it seems like it gets progressively harder to take bases, especially on a map like CK. Luckyfool have any thoughts on the viability or effort : profit potential of playing mech in tvt? I felt like the key to winning was maintaining an air force with banshees/ravens, but mech is already super gas intensive as it stands.


Mech is the least forgiving way to play but imo if you do everything right it's the strongest. Marine/tank is good but pure bio is awful and gimmicky and relies on your opponent messing up or on you doing a huge coinflip here and there to win.

I was really hoping LastShadow would have good results at Red Bull Battlegrounds, but I guess that didn't happen. I wish I knew what happened, though. Maybe being sick threw him off a bit, even though he mentioned before the event that he was playing fine despite his condition. Hopefully, he'll be able to get lots of practice in until he goes to his next event, and perhaps there he'll be able to do better.

Yea I mostly meant playing bio as a reaction to mech. It definitely feels like mech is very unforgiving in terms of spot on precision in positioning and game sense, which was why I was kinda wondering if it was worth it to learn.

Is there a way to download all the replays from the whole tournament instead of one game at a time?

Nice writeup. Sad this event was not covered much in TL news by our more famous writters because there was some excellent play as you note. I know you didnt cover MC focusing on the terrans play but I thought (besides the two all ins vs Stephano, it's MC after all and all-ins will always happen a couple times) his counters to Stephanos 11 min RR were something worth watching and something niether PartinG nor Squirtle could withstand but MC figured it out.

What I don't get about thorzain's TvZ build is that he has 1 marine and 6 hellions at 7:00. How does he hold a 2 base roachpush that arrives at 7:00???

You don't, which is why my ladder record has been tanking past 3 days.

He's clearly playing to exploit a Zerg player who is actually good and makes drones.

Nice blog LF!

ill check those games out they seem really interesting.

I'm not defending LS, but wasn't he kind of sick? I dunno I think hes better than what he's shown. Also, even though he said foreginers are shit or whatever he's never said he wasn't either. Just my 2 cents.
