Sync is a specialist in breaking through sunken lines. Some of my favorite VODs to watch are when he does this "Spark Terran." There were many games where the commentators would say things like, "It's impossible to break through the sunkens," and Sync would prove them wrong.

Do you have any VODs where he does this?

It's more of a build order + great timing than it was control. For instance, there's no way sync is good at mass M&M control against zerglings+lurkers. He just had a good sense of when to put up his third rax and judging when he had enough marines to break through sunkens.

Here. Risky build overall, but has it's uses and is good from time to time. You can make it a fairly safe / solid build. But there's better things to do.

Use this vs 3 hatchers on r-point. If they go lurker, you may get fucked. If they go muta, well, you'll win if they don't build enough sunks or you know, enough shit to kill you.
normal build, no SCV cancellations.

2 rax, 1 rine, gas, engine bay, 84 gas, send scv's back to minerals 1 at a time as the last gas mines. 100 gas - armor upgrade.

marines / academy etc keep building.. get a 3rd rax when $ comes. If you queu 1 more than 1 unit you're a tit and the build won't work. Marine range first etc... range / +1 should come at nearly the same time, then as you walk to his base, stim & go.

Either you win, or you lose.
And if you still have a chance to win well... keep up the micro and enjoy. =]

Hm, sync doesn't upgrade attack/armor testie.. I'm 90% sure he doesn't at least ;o

And sync DOES have very nice marine control vs lurker/ling, especially mass marines (not the awesome super mass control of xellos or oov, or the awesome small strike force control of boxer, but a very solid way of handling 2~ control groups worth of marines).

The Bul Kkot (Sparks, Fireworks, ect) Terran is Sync's hard and early rush with Marines, Firebats, and a few Medics with no upgrades. He's also probably the best player in the world at clearing sunken walls which makes this build order seem so effective

Instead of all of these explanations, how about a VOD that says it all?

This is from the 2004 EVER OSL, Group C, Game 2 - Sync vs JJu

Sync does the impossible!

Sync does the impossible!


read my mind Live2Win, I was about to mention that game too. The commentators were dumbstruck, having said numerous times that it would be impossible to go through all those sunkens with marines positioned on that narrow bridge but sync does what sync does best.

I remember watching sync vs jinnam on HOV back during coca cola. I was like wtf is he doing building only infantry, it's an island map. He proceeded to fight mass hydra lurks with pure marine medics. I never even knew that was possible at the time.

Nowadays, nada and oov control multiple groups of infantry just as well if not better. But sync was the original.

btw, anyone have access to that vod? I would like to see how it compares to today's SK terran.
