the factory timing is not a good one in this build.

a faster tech should be considered in tvz nowadays.

Just wondering, but why do you build your 2nd tank so late? Shouldn't you just build 3 in a row as soon as your shop finishes so you get 3 tanks in your nat just before the vessel comes out?

Yea it should, but 1rax or 2 rax tech builds are rarely used because it gives up macro and map control for a vessel at 9 minutes. This build is great for very very aggressive zergs that build a crapload of shit just to force you to stay in or when the map is huge and u are confident in ur expo killing abilities. 4rax after expo is pretty agressive, and 3rax + fac is the safest tech there is.

TvZ pushing should be done whenever the zerg is trying to force you to stay in the map. That is a clear indicator that they do not want you roaming around the map because they are either powering drones, teching, or expoing. The entire purpose of mid game ZvT is for the Z to contain the terran until they have hive tech, and it's the Terran's job to hinder his tech. There are at least 3 exploitable timings that zergs have
1. Before pool is finished - The zerg is vulnerable to their overlord being sniped if they are too careless about their scouting path. The zerg will also be forced to waste 2-4 larvae on lings to deter 4-5 marine harassment at their natural.
2. Muta/Lurk tech transition
This is when the Zerg is still researching lurk tech. If his muta harass is subpar, he will have no choice but to defend ur push. 16-20 marines will easily rip apart through anything he can throw against you with ease, provided you have a couple firebats and don't walk into a trap. Be cautious though, some zergs like to bait you with a seemingly vulnerable position, only to completely wipe out ur force with a muta/ling force the size of the screen.
3. Hive tech
Obviously this is the most critical timing there is. You really don't want him to have map control and hive tech, so at the very least move out and proceed to kill his 3rd gas. This is also the most ideal time so far to start an expansion while you are still competing for map control.

Also, some zergs will also have exploitable timings due to their slower scout/reaction time, so other timings appear such as sunk break timings, run-by, or pushes when they start their 3rd gas.

Pushing is simple enough with pure marine; you just run when they attack you. Most zergs aren't dumbasses and will attack you with a respectable flank. All you gotta do is run back and allow them to funnel, and then proceed to shoot everything. If you get completely surrounded, you didn't scout enough and walked into a freakin trap. If u have tanks, it's almost like a TvP timing push except with MnM.

i never said it had to be 1/2 rax tech. you can do 3 rax tech, but getting a factory when the spire is done is ridiculously late. many progamers get it much earlier than that even when 3 raxing with fe.

and by the way you talk about tvz, it seems like a terran should never be in the middle of a flank. sometimes, it is just inevitable. you are not always able to evade a flank.

isnt it a bitch when you get totally flanked? i love m&m's though.. nothing like retreat a few steps, fire, repeat and cycle~~ or better yet, somehow ur medics were positioned so well they form like a semi circle around your marines... oh god that is lovely

Well you can't always avoid a flank, but that doesn't mean it's insta-win. MIcro a bit yea? You just can't walk wherever you want; you're gonna get pincered. All you gotta do is scout the spots where a flank is most likely and walk with caution

Is it me, or is your 2nd gas really late? I usually grab it around the timing of my 3rd rax, because if the push doesn't kill the zerg, then I usually follow up with skterran, and the built up gas helps for pumping vessels/dualeng upgrades.

edit: Nice guide laying out a standard tvz build. I still need to work on refining my build past the 50 supply mark or so.

I'm confused. What do you do if you don't see a hatch..when does the CC go down then? right after the depot? or do you keep scv + marine production and then get a CC. I just find that even if I build CC after the depot, it finishes before 34 supply count; if i don't see 12 hatch on the first base i scouted, am i supposed to build it in my main and fly it down?


"
15/18 Depot:
Build this with your 14th SCV that comes out. Use a similar position to your first with this one, keep it out of the way and by your minerals

15/18 1 Marine:
Place on ramp to ward off drone scout and to spot zerglings. If you suspect 9 pool you can place marine in your mineral line to ensure they survives.

16/18 Marine:
This marine is massively important so make sure you watch this more then anything else. You will only have this lone marine when zerglings come if early pool.
