Is it true that Terran "base management" is harder than the other races?

hey yosho.

Stupid question. In tvp. Is it a good idea to have a few turrets in your base for the sole purpose of taking out detectors? Ive noticed that 90 percent of the games i lost vs protoss were because of early scouts hanging around my base before i could get a raven out and my early pushes get owned. Im not sure if the cost of building them are worth it but at the same time it could prevent hard counters early game.

Lastly. Any advice on how to counter a very early colossus blink stalker push? Ive lost games like that due to no air fire and fe preventions

thanks from a humble peasant lol

1 turret is acceptable, they have a very large range. but only if you get the +1 attack.

As for the blink stalkers collasai get marauder heavy and 2-3 vikings. They can handle it pretty well.

probably during the factory. as around that time the observer should be near finishing or being built.

What is your preferred unit composition against muta/ling/baneling in the midgame on a standard map (say xel naga caverns or cross positions on metalopolis)?

On those maps, do you like to fast expand (build cc before 30 food)? If so how do you hold it against early pressure (specifically vs zerg)?

In TvT, how do you play against tank-viking?

What's your favorite unit in SC2?


I like to go with hellions and marines + thors, it's my favorite composition. I sometimes go thor marauder hellion viking, not as viable but it really messes with their heads.

I greatly enjoy tank - viking, I add marines and I have a really solid play as it, I never lose when someone differs as I am well practiced. I try to confuse the player with multiple battles as multi tasking is a strong suit of mine.

My favorite unit is the mutalisk.


About the hellion/rine/thor; how... are you supposed to survive the blings?


Harass lings early on if they don't go roaches,

Move the marines behind the hor when the lings / banelings arrive and the hellions up front, if he only has lings / blings / muta you can move the hellions behind too, it's a mow down.


What?????

How do your hellions counter blings?

How does the thor suck up tha bling damage? You can't mean the Z 1-a moved the blings on your army!?

Hey Yosho, I was recently in the RH tournament with you when you went up against my boy Telov (and handed him a sound defeat), and I was wondering about your play on the first matchup.

I think you went refinery into rax/depot (I cant remember), and I was wondering what your thoughts were on that.

(Hope to see you on RH soon :D)


I actually decided not to join any teams unless it's contract; Looking more to go Pro and sponsors.
The only reason I haven't is that I am not playing on my computer, mine is not doing so well; missing a few parts but the important one is only 50$. Internet card or something I am unsure of the name. However in order to do tournaments I need the money to fix my computer so I have decided to be a freelancer in my meantime to pay for the computer. When the contracts expire I go for mass tournaments and try to get to the pro level. However I do enjoy the RH community and would love to participate in more fun with you all.

As for the strategy, it's a rush type strategy to prevent cheese; into early fast econ and fast aggression. You may see it more later tonight on the stream. (may)


I didnt exactly meant or you to join RH, would just love to see you around sometime for our other Tournaments where we get about 40-50 people in. Love your style of play, and I like that BO to prevent cheese.

Usually no; however a thor is also a giant block. The marines can get behind the actual army reducing the chance that banelings reach them. Delaying anything for slightly longer on the enemies attack is always a plus.

As terrans, if you've started out heavy bio against zerg, and you see him going banelings, how do you respond?

Do you continue bio and try to kite/micro? Do you tech? if so to what? thors? tanks? air?

Thanks.

If he is going heavy banelings i'd get a few more marauders until I have tanks out, then more marines. marauders can soak up more damage and be a front until tanks blast them out of the ground. I would recommend getting a thor or 2 because banelings are usually followed by muta's. if they aren't coming already.

No, just.... no. No no no no no.

Terrans dont dominate the rankings. They are more prevalent in diamond because it is very easy to go 1-1-1 into marine marauder tank off 1 base and that strat reliably beats players in plat and below.

I picked terran because I played sc1 terran for 10 years. I'm actually a random player. I was told #4 random player in the world.

Can you upload the replays from last night? 2 in particular:

- the one against zerg (I think metalopolis) where you pulled off a great hellion drop but still ended up losing (tons of marines killed by banelings at the xel naga tower)

- the one against protoss on steppes of war where he hid a proxy stargate and went 3gate voidray push, charging the rays on the rocks before the fight at your ramp

I'd really like to study those build orders

if you give them time to get storm, storm counters this build heavily.

who the hell gives you time to get storm?


It's actually very easy to do. If I scout a T player going reactor rax into 2 ports ill immediately start making templars, they wont have a big enough force to push before im done if I do it right. Esp after the tank nerf.
