You know, you could've won that game but your macro was slipping. You didn't have enough scvs mining minerals, and kept three on gas, so your gas just skyrocketed and you didn't have enough marines. TRY IT AGAIN

Very cool gif! Are you looking for play suggestions/critiques, or just reactions to the content quality? I enjoyed watching.

Thanks! Mostly just reactions to the content quality (anything you would change?) since I know what mistakes I made and how to fix it for the next game. Thanks for commenting!

Even though the gif shows the whole game, I think you could supplement it with a short written portion if you want/have time. There might help people who miss something in the gif, or aren't sure what they're seeing.

Even basic details like what map it is, what openings are used, key events of the game and key takeaways would work nicely IMO.

Dragoon vs. marines look quite fun

When he botched the goon micro at the start, I thought you had it.

Also, the reaver did more than kill your bio army, it killed most of your econ at the main.

Fun game nevertheless.

so few scvs -.- you are cutting scvs, but you took an expansion so that you have the economy to fight back later when he has reavers.....

classic bigfan :D

(also, you also could've ran up the ramp and murder the probes )

Well if you go bio you should stay on bio and add vessels to your mix.
Also 1 base bio is really easy to counter, go 2 base bio.
But you will need to work on your macro and borrow at least 200 apm from Flash.

Well played. Hopefully you can make it happen the next time with the gas pull but you played like a real Terran and that means much more than stats, you should be proud.

As for the gif, it's really good. Couldn't load it on mobile at work but hey, assuming it doesn't take too much time to make I could devour hundreds of those.

try "deep six" next time, one of my favorite builds. pure bio is pretty ballsy though i gotta hand it to you.

isn't deep six an all-in? Then again, playing bio against protoss is pretty much allin-ish lol. I'll have to look into the specifics

haha well, I didn't plan on ending the game right then. Maybe I should've but I expanded behind the attack then retreated once I took down his exp. Wanted to macro up and then go in for the kill later but I didn't anticipate 2 reavers knocking on my front so soon (thought he sunk it all in his goons and eco).

If you go bio, in TvP, you're usually going to be going for the win before they can get their reaver or templar tech. The build you did was fine. Going deep-six requires more management, but I feel like it'll win you the game against someone who goes templar tech to counter you. Sero does it quite a bit, so if you watch his stream you'll probably see it, and you can ask for replays.

Microing goons vs stim marines is pretty rough. I lost a few goons due to poor micro. I thought it was a bit of a gamble to take my one reaver to drop his main, but it worked out and I got my other reavers out in time.

bio is just as viable as mech in tvp I think. Massing siege tanks and going drop harass is effective. I liked the gif.

Pros make it look easy. I've failed this shit a bunch of times myself.

lol no, I'm not lost. I had a plan in mind during the game and wasn't planning to end it after his nexus went down unless he didn't have much defense (he had 5 goons+reaver on ramp).


hmm I'm not sure tbh. Haven't played enough bio tvp to know. Thanks!


yes, I know that part since I looked into bio in TvP back when I first started playing BW (kinda the reason I switched to mech when he had 2 reavers). Thing is, I don't want to end it there. I want to go up against reavers and templars and see what it's like. That and I couldn't end it here with how well guarded his ramp was. Does he? I don't see Sero stream as much these days. Maybe next time he streams, I'll watch, thanks!


It's why they are pros Agree with falling. Reaver worked well and microing goon is rough because most people underestimate marine speed (or aren't fast enough)
