Is that a common strat ? i have been very impressed by elky's strat on Dhalia vs Naz in group k tiebreaker. He made only 4 tank in the whole game and went 12 factories mass vultures with dual upgrade, pumped out 132 vultures in 15 min and totally pwned Naz (who is far from being a newbie toss) :p. The replay is availiable on sG.com, whaddya guys think of this build ?

For elky haters i promise a topic on how much he sucked vs RRB :p

Elky got an advantage from early game, delaying naz's expo, and some other things I don't remember,
He had the game secured, it almost didn't matter what he did to finish Nazgul, in my opinion.

Nazgul himself said he simply got raped in this game, and that Elky played well.

I like this strat, as long as your opponent's economy is not so great, because it allows for cheap offense that doesnt have to win the game, as you have minerals to spare for expos.

I dont like it.

The key imo to dahlia tvp is taking the middle (it's hard to navigate around those walls). If terran has no tanks, its really hard to do that.

Honestly, all toss has to do is go goon/ob with a few photons at each base.

I didnt watch the rep yet though, so there may be something i m missing
if you guys could use google and post direct links to the maphacks here it would be greatly appreciated. - Nazgul

well that what puzzled me in this game, coz naz went goon obs with photon but belive me it was fucking raining vultures all over the map ^^ makes me think to NaDa vs Kingdom where Kingdom went fast double expo to counter NaDa's 1 fact expand and NaDa countered with fast 5 facts making tank with only his 1rst fact and steamrolled over Kingdom's goons.

edit :come to think of it situations were differents but what reminded me the game was that 1 it was a great game 2 NaDa's shitload of vult

his dragoons were all camping near his base, but they were in bad formation so the vutures managed to escape, like he should have separated them 2 to expo, 2 to main,4 in front of base. When his expo was build it he couldn't send probes till vultures dead, lost too much time teran already building 2nd exp, overexpanded+part of his early army died to mines = toss lose.
