This looks awesome, but wouldn't the current time overlap with Weapon of Choice? The different shows should really try to adapt with eachother, cos they're all awesome!

Wow what an innovative build. I'm really looking forward to picking qxc's brain about this one. Where does someone come up with such a unicorn build anyway?

I'm guessing that it is built off the love of the ghost

Ghosts are just so awesome, and underused. I have tried an early ghost build and it worked pretty well, and was insanely fun.

I love how much QXC is doing for TL even though he is a member of Root gaming. He is tied for my favorite Terran player right up there with TLO

Could look at as TL being amazing getting top players to do community events for TL.

It's my standard to wall in with a bunker in TvT. I think I would be safe... yes?

Looking at this build it looks too all-in. 1 marine and 1 ghost can kill the defending marines but they'll probably have a hellion or tank out and then its over, 2 units won't stop their defense and then a few scv's get pulled big deal

they'll be set up for the midgame with a probable 1-1-1 setup while you have a ghost academy laying around, and 2 racks and a late factory and even later starport. This'll cause you to lose your air control late game.

Basically I guess I'm saying this'll work against bad terrans, and not work against good terrans. but if you're a better terran than them you might as well stick to standard.

And my opponents always wonder why I have a raven. It's because I am a raver.

A tank or bunker owns this, maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I copied this build from a replay of him vs silver on the root website, I really like it. Snipe is useful vs marines and maurauders (and scvs), emp vs cloaked banshees, and 20 damage to light is ok vs banshee. The maurauders deal with tanks and other maurauders. First tvt I ended up playing after seeing the build was vs qxc himself. He scouted it and obviously knew how to deal with his own build, and raped it with 2port banshee. A small handful of ghosts can't fight mass banshees without turret support. Against a few banshees the ghosts are great, but the banshees costing less gas (and not being hit by maurauders at all) just beat ghosts alone after a certain point.

edit: to the people questioning the build, it's not an all-in. It's a strong versatile opening that lets you secure a quick expansion with a good army foundation useful throughout the game. You can be as aggressive as your opponents allow with it. If they're too passive you just keep expoing and adding rax.
