EPTAre there any good replays of people going a mech build vs Zerg these days, or is it pretty much a long dead strat?

U must aboslutely upgrade and u should maybe put 4 vcs for each gas since it will be difficult to have enough gas to mass metal before a third command and u will prolly need everytime some vessels: the tvz metal is : at start u have the adavantage with vultures because z can't do nothing dangerous.. Mid game is the "hot time" it's mainly why it's not adviced to metal vs z : u have to not let him expanding everywhere while loosing a minimum of units and producing; If u can't keep about 60% of your army after about 12 minutes and with 6/7 facts + upgrades zerg will be defeated by a huge mass of metal : that's TERRAN POWER yeah! Many zerg will drop u mass hydra/lings at this moment : the mistake should be to go back to defend : just lift buildings and kill him. Don't hesitate to make a lot of vultures to support gol/tanks especially till mid game. Terran 3-3 180/200 rules whatever happens.But it's exhausting games. I also tried to make a "mix" of metal/mm after a "classic start metal". I should try to improve it i feel it could be efficient especially when zerg plans to full muts but the timings are quite difficult to evaluate. | ||

its godly.. ill dig up the rep when i have time... anyway, yes it is valid, what this guy did was goliath tank off one base and basicly hangbang the zerg , aiming to kill the expo- his only fault was not expanding x) im sure its perfectly viable | ||
