Let's give it up for the semi-cheesy build for Terran in TvP that lets me beat players waaaaaaaaaaay better than me. Currently 6-0 with the strat, beating D+ players left and right.

My BO:

9 supply
12 gas
12 rax
14-15 supply
19 - fact
22 or when scout leaves - 2nd fact
- add-on as soon as fac finishes,
- near constant rine production
- upgrade mine and start second add-on
- tank pops, another tank and a third tank on your 2nd fact
- once you get the 2nd tank push out with about 7rines 3-5 scvs 2 tanks,
1 tank on the way, upgrade vult speed and rally vults.
- MICROOOOOO

- By the time you reach his base, you have 3 tanks 7 rines 3-5 scvs with vult rally against 7 goons (2 gate).

- MICROOOOOOO, with vults, mine infront of his gates and rape probes. rally more vults and expand and beat players better than you XD.

Watching the replay, i don't think your 2 fact was effective at all. I watched the 2 python replays and it seemed like you were able to capitalize on your opponent's mistakes. If they played like a D+/C- player, I don't think it'll be nearly as good.

Joyo beat you to this build by about 5 years.

I liked your vulture harass in the Blue Storm game, although I'm not convinced your opponents were better than you.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Is the proper time to move out after the 2nd tank? I usually wait for my 3rd while having 5 marines and 1 SCV. I also tend to get my 1st fac a slight bit earlier. Now that I think about it, 2nd and 3rd tank pop out at almost the same time, so I guess there isn't much of a difference.

Wow, looks like Joyo. Why dont you just wait until you have around 5 tanks then push, it would be much much stronger ^^
But there is a reason why people not using it anymore. Players with decent goon micro, obviously not those here in your replay, can beat you with ease
Economics forecast assumes everything, except responsibilities

Two facts is for straight terran players.
