First i want to say this build is pretty awesome! My first try at using this strategy. (my build and timing is way off i just used the general idea =P )

mid diamond level TvP game, with my 1st time trying out this build.

[image loading]

On maps with close air rush distance, this build is SO strong. But on maps with close rush distance, i think it may be better to do an early poke instead of hellion drop. ie, use this build here:

Tricks i did this game: Scroll camera to find the standing OBSERVER :D
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=149641


THANK YOU MEMBERS OF TL !!! :D


I played pretty badly this game, a lot of sloppy play left and right but the strength of the build carried me THROUGH. it wasnt even fair.... i wish i had a PDD at the battle, it wouldve been SLAUGHTER.

Hmm I just played against FE protoss and lost.

I roasted like 12+ probes too.

But even so, that just seemed to put us on even footing. He consistently had an equal army to mine.

I guess the only thing I coulda done really is gotten more marauders instead of marines.

Every single toss player is doing the 1 gate FE these days. You gotta just do a well timed all-in to shut down their greed.

Mid diamond level game using this strategy

the hellion drop didnt do too much damage, but gave me a lot of info on his unit composition

vs protoss FE, with mass warp gates.

I tried a similar build to this. Instead of going for 2 ports, I get a reactor on my barracks as my factor is building, switch add ons, pump 4 hellions and marines. Start my first port and once finished, make a dropship. As the dropship is making, make a tech lab on barracks and pump out one marauder.

After the first hellion harass, I siwtch Barracks to reactor, starport to tech lab, and begin next expansion. During that time, I get a tech lab on factory and put down 2 more barracks (one with tech lab, one with reactor).

End the game with a stim MM, tank, and raven push.

Wow, definately going to give this a try thanks for the post.

Has anyone tried making a single raven with your banshees for PDD mineral line harass? That was the idea that was in my head the whole time watching these replays. Looks very versatile, looking forward to trying it out.

i need to say
i take my hat off to iEchoics
i've had trouble with protoss for long time but not anymore.
I haven't mastered this build (not even close, i keep forgetting things like when the second refinery and stuff) and yet i win and not having a hard time.(have played against mid-low diamond and plats)
this build mastered it sure is high diamond level.
thanks iEchoic

Nothing to say except that I'm going to assume this is the same iEchoic that dominated Halo Wars and it's nice to see a fellow former HWer playing this game at a high level. I was TPack on those forums, but it was so long ago you prolly don't remember me.

the problem with this build is that its so good, I never feel comfortable doing anything else against protoss anymore.

thanks for the guide!

Well if you like marine/banshee play, you can also try the 3-1-2 PDD build, which I still have to give a try to.

hey there i would like some1 to help me with some decision making:


ive been trying to familiarise myself with this, so Ive used it against AI only. Up to hard its really easy, bot just harrases a bit then its fun time. In very hard however, bot rushed a robo facility without obs just immortals. I had a bunker set already and 4 marines(maybe could have poped 1-2 more but they wouldnt have helped that much), but by the time my medivac was just outside his base(and when I switched second starport onto factory's starport), he rushed me with 2 immortals 4 zealots, 1 sentry and a stalker. I didnt micro well cause lets face it, I panicked a bit , and it was gg for me. In hard AI the very same part was easily defended(1 immortal and a couple zealots less). I could probably time it a bit better(even though it was executed OK and I wasnt supply blocked for more than a couple of seconds, constantly training scv as well).

At the current time mark I dont think any opponents at my level would even consider harrassing like that ignoring the observer(had it produced an observer I would have dropped hellions and have produced 2 bansh myself), but, say some1 is idd rushing that soon, how should we counter it with some excess minerals that we have? Building a second barrackes, tech to maurad insteed of just marines, or just make a second bunker at the time you check robo, just in care to be sure?

i've used this build for many games now, and also watched the replays, and thought that if u do a reactor on the factory right after its built u can get 4 hellions only about 20 secs later than 3 hellions w/out reac, making it even stronger drop.
is this viable? are those 20secs vital? maybe that 50gas expended its too necesary or will delay the banshees?
(watching ur replays i've seen that u reac 1 barrack and leave ur factory idle, so with this u just do a swap)

I don't think the reactor is a great idea, you won't use the factory anymore after the drop (at least I don't) and the build is so lean and smooth that the 50/50 will actually disrupt your follow-up. Also, don't underestimate those 20 seconds. Very often the drop literally hits while his first push from a 4 gate or 2 gate robo is moving out. Forcing that army to turn around and defend probes buys you time to get some banshees out to defend the front.

A little consumer feedback, I've used this build in every tvp for the past several days and I haven't lost a SINGLE one! Love it, now if iEchoic could just release his super secret tvz strategies I'd be set. On that subject btw, gratz on beating Phoenix in the GGI man, game 2 was awesome. I'm rooting for you.

yeah thats what i though, i havent really tried on the reactor, but had to ask.
and i've been using it too, only lost once(against high diamon toss and due to a crappy execution by me).
still took it to late game and lost not by far.
