the rines tank while vults plant is what allows the scvs to build walls and shit and the tanks siege....do u think this will see a significant shift in the metagame and make a shift by toss to reaver (negating the rines and thus less time for vults to mine and terran to get a good position)? discuss. edit: basically fd build into 2nd fac the game was just played, flash vs jangbi @ KHAN vs KT, 23/2/10 | ||

I recently made a thread about this and got alot of good advice. I think its one of the reasons flash has started doing FD alot more, and is why I switched to FDs from Siege Expos. | ||

A recent version of it from Winner's League. One of my favorite games of the past few months too. + Show Spoiler + Bisu goes for a 1gate range + obs -> expo. In the interview, Flash said he saw Bisu's obs at his nat. So he do not need build more turrets to defend from reavers or DTs. Instead he lands his Rax and builds more rines (already had 8 from FD). He moves out when his 4th tank pops with 10+ rines and rallies vults with mines. Siege finishes right when he reaches Bisu's choke. Some gosu turret placement and gg. Truely a thing of beauty. Only really viable when you can rule out reavers, but I'm totally gonna try this on my friends! | ||

Could this be done with siege expo? how does the timing differ? | ||

I don't think it has too much to do with map balance - its a pretty viable build order on most non-huge-maps. However, its heavily based on precise timing and abusing greedy builds vs. protoss. Yes, it isn't all that special, but it makes toss players think twice before doing a greedy build vs. Flash - and I'm sure that's Flash's goal. With his macro/intuitive brilliance, he should be able to decimate Toss players with the edge he gains over toss players with this build. | ||

I actually agree with ExSoldier. I don't believe it is different from any other timing push, but it's flash doing it which makes it so good. And yes, flash's secret management style mush be figured out, which is impossible unless replays are available... | ||

Imo, if you're going to expand, expand. Don't push out until the Protoss is taking his third. Doing a push like that is flogging a dead horse at this level because your units can get sniped so easily. | ||
