It works Seriously, I first didn't understand but look: 90% of average TvT players make fly their barracks, so you can get in the base sometimes ---> vultures. Vultures are usually upgraded with mines and speed, so you cannot leave your base as fast as you would want to. Also, his barrack is flying through your base so he can counter your tech more or less easily. Also, while you are containing your enemy, you are producing such cheap units and you are able to have extra gas, more than if you were producing tanks from the beggining. It's like the PvZ where you are rushing and microing zeals while you get gas and don't tech but zerg is usually doing ONLY mass lings to counter you so he will die against your big cock (amount of gas spent with templars/archons :O) when he tries to fuck you with his hidralisks/mutalisks/lurkerlisks/lingisks. PS: I am XerG so correct me if I am wrong. | ||

LMAO doesnt he already have a 'severe warning' ?  | ||

But ILoveoov v Nada, kind of a big big series, both go for this weak and easily counterable strat... odd no? One of the counters is to make more vultures than the other guy (; Put it this way; vultures used by 95% of the BW population are easily counterable. Example: TvT, myself at 6, opponent at 3. He goes vultures, I go 1 fact tank > expo. Good Micro > initial vulture rush. If he's really stupid, he keeps pushing with vultures and loses them. Otherwise he places a few mines, usually very poorly (i.e., in visual range of a turret on cliff). Most players would put one where I intend to land my CC, but two tanks with seige can take care of that. A wise and mighty Korean, however, would place a lot of mines, and place them well, and I'd possibly lose a tank trying to get rid of them (if I were careless/sloppy). The delay/potential loss of unit(s) is that much of a set back that the vulture rush was successful. | ||
