Good luck man. I try to mech as often as I can but it's sufficiently frustrating against Protoss to make me question it.

You can still kill a lot of probes before the Hellions die. The problem with opening with mech is that you are pretty vulnerable to early attacks. I do believe that the only solution to late game tvp is mech though. The only question is, how do you transition safely to it in mid/late game.

What I've been thinking (but not really doing) is slowly suiciding 5-10 marines at a time and replacing those with tanks and thors. With mech you can't really suicide your whole army and instantly remax like Zerg does.

However, I still don't really think your tank count can get high enough that way to deal with a maxed protoss army, which everyone knows is amazingly strong.

Maybe some kind of tank/thor/ghost/banshee/raven army. PDD's, EMP's, 250mm cannon.... That's a lot of gas though, you'll need at least 6-8 geysers to support that.

No, it's definitely the right word. Right now the TvP and TvZ metagame has pretty much reduced to MMM and marine medivac tank, respectively. Sure, people try to mech on the ladder, but the world's top players simply don't do it.


Tell that to Jinro.

Hey man just saw your last TvZ and i have some advice: If you dont scout an expansion cut marines to make a tech lab. Swap the factory and rax.
Make a bunker and a siege tank with siege mode.bring scvs to repair.
Take your expansion and prepare a marine/marauder/tank push.
Or since your trying pure mech make a thor/banshee/tank push.
biomech!

I find it hard to deal with the standard 6:30 and 8 minute protoss timing pushes if you got mech, and these seem to be the popular builds on the ladder.

I was having the same problem. I open 2 Rax so I can have enough marines and 1 Tank by the time 4 gate hits. Then I move to more Mech Heavy

u can build first some marine and then make the transition to mech, i have a build that is a transition from marine tank to fullmech, and it's work

Bo:

10(and start the 11 scv) make supply
12 rax
13(and start the 14 scv) make second rax
15 make OC
18-20 make two rafinery(if u make them at 18 stop marine production for a sec)
(never stop scv for marines stop production at 12, they are enough to deal with rushers, if u want make one bunker too)
make two factory when u reached 200 gas
when factory are completed make 2 tech lab and two tank(than start OC you are about at 7:00 minute)
make other 2 tank
then make other two fact(pump some hellion from them) with your first 200 gas, and establish your OC
from here you can make full mech...
don't forget to take 2exp at 15 max(13-14 is better)

I watched 2-3 matches of yours today when you streamed. I must admit I expected something much different. I play both zerg/terran about 50/50 now adays and I hate tanks, being on either end. I've never liked that style of play. When you said you were a mech terran, I was hoping for a mainly tank/thor/helion build with a dash vikings or bio added in to deal with air. Unfrotunently in these games all you did was pump tank viking all game. I can't watch your replays cause of my location atm but is that how you play all the matches. I feel like the protoss could have just gone phoenix/chargelot to beaten you easily, (mass tank pick up is devistating to tank lines).

While can anyone think of a decent build to go mara/hel/thor/vik combo. I want to defeat ling/muta without going tank marine but not losing to mass roach switch. I feel with good viking micro 10 vikings or so could keep muta's at bay, stab retreat to thors since they clump up when fighting vikings. I've tried a few builds but I have trouble at the begining of getting units to stop rushesroach/banelings rushes without getting the tanks or heavy bio at start and I'm not to interested in doing 2 rax scv push into expo or anything liek that, note I want the build to transition into 2v2/3v3 player play hence cheesy openings like that are pointless.

Anyways let me know if you do anything other than tank viking against toss or zerg.
