The only way your going to be able to call down 10 is if you do the 4OC build vs Z, and that build although fun can be very detrimental to winning a match. The only problem is that Terran's are using almost half of their SCV's just to add to their army knowing their economy won't be hurt. SCV's can become very good meat-shields and can so repair if needed, unlike probes or drones. Using SCV's just for an all-in doesn't sound right to me, but it's a game, I guess. | ||

On a more serious note this build has been floating around for awhile now, so it's not "crazy" at all. it gets fucked in the ass hard by stargate play which is getting even more popular. | ||

But I guess since you said this was an all-in, we can't really discuss this in the same way we should discuss a normal build order / strategy. Since this seems to punish a very greedy Protoss, it'll help to have it in the bag to keep them honest.

If you came across it independently though OP, grats to you, it seems pretty strong. No idea how I'd stop it but I'm terrible, so there you go :p http://www.justin.tv/screddit/b/277688512 I honestly don't know why Nony allowed his Colossus to be raped by 250mm. I can understand the Immortals getting 250mm'ed because they have short range, but Thermal Lance colossus have what, 9 range compared to Thor's 7? For a little while, it seemed like he was going to win that battle, until the 250mm killed both Colossus, so maybe he got a little overconfident when he saw that after winning that battle, he would've killed a ton of SCVs. If he had kept those Colossus alive, he would've won IMO. Colossus can kite Thors all day long, not to mention that he was reinforcing his army pretty well for a while there. The Colossus was not only doing damage, and putting pressure on the Thors to chase them, but they would've helped to kill the repairing SCVs. I'm a Terran player, but that made me sad for Nony. | ||

When all is said and done, why shouldn't you have SCVs in your army? Bring in the mech medics! | ||

It has virtually zero chance of beating a decent toss that spends all of his money. Although I agree with you, I think the strenght "could" lie within the metagame-effect a starport with techlab has. If you manage to get the raven out before the observer spots the armory, there's a MASSIVE chance the toss will get stargate and phoenixes. At least yesterday this is exactly what Mana did in one of his streamed games, where he crushed a timing push that consisted of a different composition. | ||

I don't play that style much but when I try it sometimes I often win I think terran is probably OP. Didn't see myself typing this a while back since i'm terran only but it seems this way. Not trying to start a balance discussion I'm just trying to express how strong I think these builds are I'm pretty certain terran will do fine on bigger maps, just bring back old medivac speed if they don't. | ||

IF i buy a new game - and start playing toss - tommorow (i played random 4 months on beta) - then - after a couple of weeks - i get diamond over 2500 points ( add new bonus pool) - just and ONLY PLAYING 4 GATE ! --------------------------------- Anyway - this is a great tactic - nowadays i'm so BORED of mmm and vikings - this is really new - and IT REALLY works vs all >2500 diamond toss. The SINGLE problem is this - scouting if he has DT ... u gotta have the feeling  If he rushes to DT - u really need that raven and have a free win - if he isn't ... u have a free win ! | ||

If it's an all-in, why shouldn't you use the scv's? If you fail you won't need them anyway. | ||
