In other news, Starport tech is really hard to get and making a viking takes a lot of skill. 1/5 scrub | ||

I see some players lift off a barracks to kill the overlord - before you swap addons, maybe? That's easy on Cloud Kingdom since you can build a rax at your natural choke and then lift it. On Daybreak, that overlord shelf is way too far away to do that. In either case, if you fail to kill the overlord, you'll eventually need to land your building and let the overlord come back.  | ||

In other news, Starport tech is really hard to get and making a viking takes a lot of skill. 1/5 scrub i dont really wanna get in an argument about this because my post was mostly a joke (did you look at the pictures?) but this has come up a few times so i wanna talk a little bit about some actual thoughts: 'y u no float?' i usually open with the 1rax FE->reactor hellion->banshee style with fast 3rd OC. rax float is really not an option with this style. obviously the rax starts out walling the ramp to the main to stop any early chogolings runbys. the rax makes marines constantly up to 4 then builds a reactor for the fact, which i also prefer to keep in my main. after the reactor, it makes the techlab for the starport which, again, i want to hide as best as possible in my main. then it makes another tech lab after my first banshee (i go mech so i add 2 facts and give them that rax techlab plus the one from the starport after my 2nd banshee). so, by the time i have a building ready to float, i might as well just make a viking anyway. 'y u no viking? n00b' i do, but with the typical opener i describe above that viking comes out 10+ minutes into the game (edit: checked a couple replays, typical timing is slightly past 11 minutes). try to do it any earlier and it totally fucks up the build because fast 3rd CC is only safe if i can apply pressure with hellions and banshees - my only other units are 4 marines in a bunker until i start tank/thor production after the 2nd banshee. i'm not really sure why zerg deserves free scouting of my front up until that viking -- yes terran has imba scans, but they have a big opportunity cost (even more mega-imba mule) and they don't last indefinitely. either way there is no way im making a viking in time to hide my 11/11 rax SCV pull or my 2base hellion/marauder all in. anyway, i dont want to turn this into an actual TvZ debate because i think the matchup overall is fine, i just think that the overlord shelf is a big advantage that is no longer needed with overlord speed buffs. before the buffs a decent terran could snipe/redirect overlords with their first marine or two, now we cant, and that makes me all fuuuuuuuuuuu. thanks all for the feedback, glad a lot of you liked it :D | ||
