I haven't worked out that yet nor do I have any theorycraft to deal with it.There are two builds that are pretty standard on EU server that I would see this build have major issues with. Marine + Ghost preasure, and the 1-1-2 fast raven into banshees. Have you run in to any of those builds and if so have you made the build bend around it? The fast raven almost negates everything the fast obs gives you so how would you deal with that? | ||

Rely on the obs to scout it and just skip immortals and rush to a colossus asap? | ||

I would have to play some proper games against it to know whether I need to cancel the expansion or not - but it should be holdable | ||

Well put together post, the timeline of how your builds worked in the replays was interesting. After watching testers game yesterday, im thinking that this is a really good way to use that concept (although tester isn't some revolutionist using sentrys). I might want to try this when i offrace PvT. | ||

I've seen Naruto's 3rax get rolled by Socke using clutch forcefields, but I think it will depend on map and the availability of key chokepoints which with to really funnel bio through and prevent the bio army retreating. I got rolled 8 times against Naruto's 3rax using a more standard version of this build (i.e. the exact same unit composition mana uses), I have a good feeling that this would fare a lot better. Maybe he'll give me some more games later ^^ Naruto is a really good player and he doesn't get half the respect he deserves. His TvP is ridiculously good, he just keeps running into Socke and co in big tournaments. | ||

His TvP is ridiculously good, he just keeps running into Socke and co in big tournaments. Which timing do you get rolled at? I know there are 2 key timings to the 3rax build, one that comes out around 50 supply with just marine marauder (usually comes out to punish fast expos), and a later push that comes with marine marauder medivac that comes around 70 supply give or take 10. I'm assuming the latter because Naruto will have seen you stay on one base and wait for the medivacs before pushing. EDIT: I've seen a lot of replays of Naruto's PvT myself (I basically stole his 3rax as my go-to build, so strong and relatively easy to execute). But I think Naruto gets overlooked because of Morrow and Bratok and even Demuslim (also mTw) taking much of the spotlight in the European scene. Plus, just like you said, Naruto keeps getting knocked out by Socke (who is a total beast). I saw those replays go up and thought, damn Socke is going to get rolled against Naruto, but it was the other way around. | ||
