another strat, the so-called "sk terran" strat was named after a korean old-school gamer kim seul-ki whose id was "soulkey" (from where we get "sk"). the strat is vessel only with mmf in tvz-- requires massive micro and lots of vessel control/spells ^^;;

SK terran strategy is originated from this Korean progamer guy called 'Kim Seul Ki' aka 'SoulKey' thus the name SK terran. This build is only used against the zergs.

Originally,
8 supply -> 10scv Barracks ->upon completion Academi & Gas -> 15 scv 2nd Barracks -> 16 scv supply -> Until the completion of academy produce 2 marines -> As soon as the academy is done build Factory

You are quite vulnuerable to fast zergling rush so you need to keep that in mind. The reason you are using fast academy is to fast tech.

Normally the first rush you go with 3 marine, 2 medic, 2 firebat. You wander around his multi. He is likely to build sunkens. You don't really go in, You pressure him from nearby. As you are going for a rush, you start building factory. As soon as factory is done float it to the opponent's multi for vision.
You build starport -> S facility.

One of the good options you have is dropship. You use it about 3 times to carry the whole troop to zerg's main.

As soon as you get vessels you start multi, since you haven't spent any money on gas from tank production, you are able to produce many S vessels from up to 3 starports.

One of the advantage that SK terran has is that you have more flexible mobility since you don't have to worry about sieged tanks but instead you have many vessels.

To fight off lulker & mutal combo, use defensive matrixes on marines wisely.

To fight off Hydra & lulker combo, super micro is the key.

I woudln't recommend sk terran build against 1 hatchery lurker zerg. It's a bit risky.

You are strong against Mutal & zergling combo since you are blessed with many s vessels.

You never use your full troops to attack later in the match but rather you leave some at the main base for defense and further attacks.

When you think you have more than enough vessels, it's not a bad idea to produce battle cruisers.

Frequent dropship usage & eraser vessels to damage zerg's multis are also important

Well I dunno how Sk terran has evolved these days but basically it is the original build & strategy the creator of SK terran build used.
