Could this build be modified to go for a Quick Dropship? Would that ever be a good idea?

On a map like python, a protoss who has lost control of his natural but has a robo bay will often take the island expansion. Adding a starport and dropping that expansion quickly is a positive response. You just need to be wary about your own expansion at that point in the game.

As another above poster said, following this up with a 7 bat/medic drop as a probe raid is very very fun too

GTR's replay is hilariously awesome. The guy goes 3 gate goon before range, and twice runs his goon army through a mine field with no observers into tanks on colo. He then proceeds to say "wow I hate terran". Pure D level power there.

Pretty sure most people (who have played iccup before) can get to D+ with protoss by proxy 2-gating on 2-player maps in about 3 hours.

Yeah.. he probably plays that build only. 3 gateway before expo can catch alot of terrans off guard and you dont really need to micro or anything when you play that.

But really, I am not amazed.. Unlike Terran and Zerg, the standards for Toss players are substantially lower. I have seen such fags reach C- with barely 100 apm when playing toss and doing just gay builds like that one or speed zealot rush. It is disgusting.

Loving the lack of gg from GTR in that replay. Hahaha...

I'm afraid your person was sadly misinformed. I am, and will always be, a D+ player who hobbles over the C- line occasionally. I don't play competitively of course, I just play for fun, and all races. Maybe if I get bionic hands and play only Terran I could get to C+.

I think it was Nyovne who said that, actually. You should look into that bionic hand surgery then!

Well, if you know he's not making dts you can skip ebay and you can add the barracks way earlier than ForGG did. But then you add them before your second fact and you can only build 4 rax. This is a much faster attack (with 2-3 tanks 1 group marine 2-3 medic)

But yeah it's not the same build at all I'm sorry I'm just talking nonsense ^^

I wouldn't say D/D- but I agree that +1 weapon / armor just takes too long and is just too expensive / not needed for an attack such as this.

If the primary reason Bio is non-viable past early game in TvP is High Templar Psionic Storm why not transition into a 50/50 or 60/40 Mech/Bio. I know, I know, but hear me out for a second. Then play a standard Vulture/Tank game except place your MnM directly behind your Tank line. This way they would be safe from Storm and could pick apart any damaged Zealots which make it to the Tank line while simultaneously nullifying Shuttle drops (perhaps maybe also being used to snipe Observers). Yes, you'd have less Vultures and thus less mines, but in Standard play most mines are "wasted" anyway because they are destroyed by splash damage from other mines.

Apparently your reading comprehension is D-, as I clearly state that the upgrades are in the event of a longer game, in order to keep the bionic units relevant. Nowhere does it state that you have to wait for it to finish before the first attack.

And if you had bothered to watch any of the replays, you would see how easy it is to take care of D+ reavers.

Yep, absolutely. If you see the game on Colosseum that I uploaded, I make a nice transition to vultures and mines, while guarding tanks with bionic units. It works very well, especially with shuttle bombs.

Well I've been trying this and I seem to have success when my opponent has similar APM to myself (I'm around 100-110), even sometimes winning when they have 50-70 more. Ya, I know "APM don't mean squat", but it does if the guy has 200 and it isn't spam.

MnM can also snipe enemy Nexus very, very quickly, Much faster than I thought they could.

I like to mess around at the D level w/ my offraces. I just played a fun bio-tank game and I completely had it in the bag but I blew it

Nice guide btw.
