This article's sick.
Good metagame following.
I'd like to see more. ;D

nice lil writeup

I saw the flash best game live, his first emp gave him a timing to push which he did. I thought that was a very nice move, but hehe it didn't end well. anyway that move deserves a spotlight. Can't wait for flash to show his new tvp.

Great article. It was also my impression that Terran has too many unused units and specials compared to other races, and hopefully figuring out ways to successfully incorporate them into game will lead to new, exciting strategies.

Firebats only do 25% to lurkers, since concussive does 25% to large and 50% to medium. Lurkers are considered large, right?

Lurkers
are medium

Not according to the SCC. You sure about this? They look pretty large. http://classic.battle.net/scc/zerg/units/lurker.shtml

It's true that they are large when you put them in an Ovie, but damage-type wise they're medium.

I'd like to see a viable use for Firebats in TvP... haha. I think TvZ firebats are pretty much mandatory if you're going bio. You should mention the effectiveness of a firebat or two with dmatrix under darkswarm. Zergs often just hold position their zerglings under DS and go back to macroing, so you can really wreak them in their false sense of security.

I think the only units that Terrans don't use often are Ghosts. They come really late in the game, they cost a lot of gas, and they really demand a lot of attention when you're already in your late game macro groove. Other than that Terran unit viability is probably the strongest in the game.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

TvP firebats..I'm wondering if they could be usefull vs zlots when toss gets super frustrated at your tanks and makes 12312billion zelots, and you might not have such large vulture numbers as you are probably making to many tanks....er...just me? lol

I suppose the answer is just to make more vultures, but firebats own zelots dont they? at least in a straight up fight, might be interesting to mix some in, basically just what you can get off one rax...for the midgame hmmm
