I would definetely try to have at least a tank at this point though, rather than try to "boxer" my MnM against lurkers and risk a disaster. wow man. this is a revelation. i would never have thought to target the lurker, nor to bring a tank. | ||

If you start at the zerg's nat, and they keep sacrificing a lurker+ling army to try to advance and you annihilate all of the lings, he is forced to stop, because you pick off a lurker, then back off, he advances (again with more lings), take off all of the lings, pick off a lurker, and back off again. Hopefully you can do this 2-3 times b/c by the time he's at your nat he's severely behind because he had to keep making lings and you should have macro'd up an army superior to his. I agree that you don't really have this choice if he's morphed them in front of your nat but that's when you should have tank tech or good mnm micro (SK terran) to get you out of that situation. I actually think that that's the reason FBH's TvP sucks. TvP you really have to keep a concentrated army and FBH is a fan of attacking, backing off, attacking, backing off, attacking, so on and so forth. He did this a lot against Bisu and as Terran you really have to position your units well and you're stuck once the attack actually starts. FBH did a lot of unseiging and moving while the battle was taking place, which is fine TvZ but in TvP you have to remember that the zeal/goon combo is going to eat you alive while you're trying to retreat. | ||

There are a lot of pros who retreat with success because they know when to retreat and when not too. Retreating is better than losing your whole army because you dont lose the bulk of your main army. You will lose bits and pieces while retreating but but not the main hanbang like forgg vs kal on athena. Its not retreating thats makes fbh lose but his terrible decision making and game sense in general for tvp. Also sometimes you have to move around such as better positioning or your units are getting stormed etc. I do agree that tvp is all about concentrated mass and imo one of the reasons why fbh, boxer, casy, hwasin's tvps arent as good as their other mus is because they emphasis too much on harass. I groan everytime they get attacked by toss and they are caught with too little vultures because they used them all on harassing. ( Hwasin vs bisu on byzantium -_- ) | ||
