Hi, I would like to know if we have statistic on tvz mech or biotank ? I woudl like to know which one is the most use in diamond, master and Gm league.

There's no official stats anywhere, but from my knowledge I'd say ~75% of games are biotank and ~25% are pure mech.

From my mid masters perspective, nearly every game is biotank. However, for a month or two everybody went mech (I think MVP won something with mech I guess).

Either way is viable, but if you want to improve mechanics definitely go bio/tank. The drops combined with microing the frontal attack is extremely demanding, and if you do it right you'll definitely get better quicker.

Hi,

I'm currently trying to work on my PvT, and chose the SaSe's 1 Gate FE into 3 gate push, that can be found on liquipedia there : http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/SaSe's_1_Gate_FE_Into_3_Gate_Pressure_(vs._Terran) and that was the subjet of a Day9 daily there : http://blip.tv/day9tv/day-9-daily-468-p1-huk-and-sase-fantastic-pvt-openings-6162409.

My question is the following : how can we deal with reaper opener ? I mean, Day9 tells us it is absolutely safe against every timing (double rax/hellion/1-1-1) and the scout with the 2 first zealots is enough, but this build is actually total gamble, because you don't have minerals to send 1 probe to scout for reaper, so do you think I should send an early probe to check, and delay the push, or is there any way to hold a reaper opener when you see it only when your roaming zealot or a sentry is under attack ?

Thank you

The liquipedia page says to scout with your pylon probe to check their gas as this build is specialized for vs 1 rax fe

Yes, but it also includes 1 less stalker, and should delay timings pretty significantly, I should try though.

That is just a proxy robo 3g bust. BO is:

9 pylon
13 gate (scout)
15 gas
16 pylon
cyber after gate finishes
21 gas
23 proxy pylon somewhere close but won't be scouted
stalker once cyber finishes
robo as soon as u can afford
continuously produce and chrono immortals once robo finishes
add 2 gates when you can afford
warp in only sentries and zealots
push with 2 immortals, a bunch of sentries and zealots and a few stalkers at around 7:40 - 8min. EZ win against any FE build.

Protoss expanding quicker, which gives them the necessary economy to hold it; immortal buff; general innovations in build orders, control, timings, and decisions (i.e. the faster expands, controlling towers and aggressively moving out on the map to slow down a 1/1/1, warp prisms); etc. Just not as strong as it was before in this metagame, though that could change if Protoss switch it up again.

I'm a Terran in plat. I scouted a zerg he had not expanded and had gass. I smelt fish. I decided to expand on the high ground. I allways 1rax FE into hellion banshee then to marine tank. I re-scouted and he still had not expanded.

What should be done is this situation?loads of bunkers on the high ground? What could this one base play be? could it only be a bainling bust or roaches? what precautions should I make. I have not seen this and am not sure how to react.

It turned out to be a bainling bust. Which I don't know how to defend.

Thank you


Against 1 base play build a thick wall composed of production buildings (no supply depots or barracks!) with a bunker behind it. If you can get hellions out to scout around the map, that's a big plus. If nothing comes for a while, feel free to scan their main since you're way ahead in economy anyway and it's worthwhile to see what he is doing. Bunkers on the ramp behind a wall will stop pretty much anything the zerg can do off of one base.


Quick correction: I think you meant "(no supply depots or bunkers!)", since barracks (along with factories) are some of the best buildings for strong walls.

Loosely speaking, metagame refers to how people play the game at any particular point in time. More specifically, metagame is usually used to refer to popular metagame, or the builds and playstyles most commonly being used at that point in time. To say that a strategy is "popular in the metagame" merely implies that many different players are utilizing that strategy in their play at this time.

Why this is important is just the ability to predict what your opponent is doing. If you play Protoss like me, and you probe scout a Terran and see 1 rax and no gas taken, that usually means a 1 rax expand nowadays, where as 9 months ago, one would have to strongly consider the possibility of a marine/scv all-in. This is simply because marine/scv all-ins are no longer popular in the metagame, where they once were.

Don't know why you linked the youtube channel when the man has his own website... http://www.white-ra.com/

Is there a way to sort the TL streams to get only the ones displaying WOL (SC2) with zerg players ? i'm trying to understand ZvT in wol, and half of the streams are about LoL/dota2/D3 while having the zerg icon, the other half is HOTS. And some of the Zerg streams actually show WOL but it's nealy only ZvZ or ZvP.
don't worry, be happy
