Imagine the guys at blizzard intented for this Valk thing happen and are wondering why it's taken so long to figure out. Maybe the Queen also has a higher purpose? Just throwing it out there... Ensnare? | ||

After the game Canata vs July yesterday, I would say that July has been the destroyer of any renovation from the other P and T. He just adapted perfectly to the situation. The Bisu build fails miserably when scouting is denied and timing attack is carefully executed where as against this mech build, thanks to the narrowed entrance to the nat, the flanking of hydra would make Tank useless to attack to end game early when defiler is not out yet | ||

Every time when the zerg goes muta I win no problem. The times I lost is when they go like lurker / hydra drop or just standard lurker and attack me with me not having acad or ebay (using earlier acad now to counter den if I see it, so it's not a problem). How to stop a drop I'm not sure, I suck at defending drops. Well, not defending them, but I suck at knowing when to expect a drop. Siege and units easily defend drops if you are prepared. | ||

If a Terran has good scouting + valks, a zerg is usually foolish to drop, right? | ||

Imo this wraith can do the same thing as the sair in the bisu build so what zerg is doing and mb kill a stray overlord over your ramp so a hydra all in doesnt bust up your mine field there. Also this would allow you to play 2 port against a 2 hatch muta cause you see exactly what he is up to and factory > starport timing is quicker than the 2 hatch muta. Anyone a explination for not getting the wraith in? | ||

Anyone a explination for not getting the wraith in? You want to get valk's quick because all zergs NORMALLY go 3 hatch muta, and wraiths are weak against mutalisk clumps. Your defending yourself with goliath's and valks. | ||

also interesting that commentators were saying how a lot of players are now practicing that build and it took fantasy 2 months of practice to get it down. might really be a revolution edit: also reading thru the other posts reminded me of more games and i think in general a well timed and executed all in with several dif strats could work well but once again not much else cept all ins.. | ||

I thought flash invented the build and than i see old vods of oov doing it before flash even became a pro o.O On October 19 2008 10:06 meRz wrote: I've tried this build out now the entire day vs zergs, i'm currently 8-0 (lol) with the build. Some of the games has been vs prettty good foreign zergs. I went 3-0 vs a guy who expected it the 2 last games, and it still worked. I'd give it a week until the progamers have figured out how to beat it though ;o EDIT: It's pretty fucking genius how well this build has been thought out. Like Day says in his initial post, the dropship is key, and I mean really fucking KEY to the whole strategy. Not only does it disrupt the plan of massexpoing for the zerg, it also gathers shitloads of intel like a permenent scanner early on. You have so much information that you'd be a fool if you couldn't adjust accordingly to what the zerg is doing. The first valkyrie kinda plays the same role as well, pretty much like how the first corsair in pvz gives the protoss player a general idea of what he's up against. Sometimes, you don't even need to produce that first valk, seeing how if your zerg opponent isn't going mutas, you could tech straight to tank/goli without having to worry. Also, the dropship/valk works excellent as a expo-scouter, seeing how its easy as hell to just patrol the map and find all the expos. I would be interested in some reps hehe.

Canata vs July was a totally different build compared to fantasy's. Day's post says that the dropship is the whole key to the build. In the Canata vs july game canata never made a dropship. | ||
