Glad that worked out for you <3

Btw, you didn't harass me AT ALL... you let me take 5 bases easy. You pretty much played EXACTLY into how I described PvT in this post actually. 1 fac expo, I double expanded, you tried to do a mid-game push. I stopped it. Took more bases. You took a 3rd, but it was too late.

Well I thought I could timing push since you went reaver but you still had some unitz D:
and I was worried about my macro fail mostly lolol... it wasn't the bases, it was the fact that I had 3k when I ggd

IF YOU READ MY GUIDE.... You would know that I cut probes to get more units because I knew you would try a timing push (which you did). Basically it's just like baiting you into trying to do that timing push because by losing all those units you get REALLY far behind in tank count and such. And ya, you lost like 45654 depots to my reavers.

Its all nice and stuff but in modern tvp just need 2 builds, 12 nex > 2 base arb and 9/9 gate every toss above B does this and its a painshit to beat. 2gate/robo on modern maps fails horribly vs flash style of play or even a delayd fantasy is strong vs it cause you cant denie the expo cause dropships/vult going arround. Cause you delayed your own eco he will get ahead.

A 1000x better build is 2 gate goon > 3 base.

A midgame/lategame push can also be helped by HT.

Since you NEVER want to engage a fully settled T army, its always best to catch the army on the move. Set up a wide perimeter and move in from multiple sides. Catch the T off guard and maybe he'll clump up his tanks. Storm it up 2 storms = dead tank

Considering I have 80% winrate PvT at C ranks on my smurf, and have been able to beat C+ players pretty handily recently with my build I think it's pretty damn strong for the level of play I'm catering this guide to.

I have no idea how the dynamic of PvT will change at B ranks... because I'm not a B rank player. I only know what works at my level of play, and this build has been the most effective I've found. Of course, I don't claim that this is 100% the BEST PvT build, but it's what I have had the most success with, and I wanted to share it with others.

It's a tutorial because it gives the thought process that I follow, so if you follow my thought process, look at my build (I.E watch the video I just made) you should be able to fundamentally and theoretically have ~C/C+ level PvT just based on this.

Obviously you need to practice execution and have C level gameplay overall, but if you're struggling with PvT this should help from a theoretic standpoint.

ANYWAYS: Check my On-Demand section under "Guides" ... I just casted 1.5 hours of replays, went through my build order, and did Q&A. I hope this was helpful to everyone!
