How does dropship micro keep lingcount low if they A)already have a mass amount of lings, or B) continue to keep building in the face of my drops? In the vVv rigid game, he came out and met your thor/rine/scv/medivac army in the middle and engaged. What if he was instead behind his sunkens at his natural? Do you still engage and if so, what would u target? Or would you proceed to back up and start producing blue flame helion to support?

i dont really have time to do theory crafting, if u have a replay of this happening id like to see it, sunkens arent much of a problem when i do thor pushes against a zerg, if they had a crazy amount like 4 or 5 then no, i would just do whatever damage i can in his main, keep in mind that 5 sunkens is 5 drones hes down plus the cost of the sunkens which should be at least 300 minerals i dont know exactly im not a zerg player. no good zerg is gonna make that kind of a resource sacrifice on static defenses.

If Zerg stays on sling/bling/muta, is it wise to just keep going thors+hellions (should I add banshees in too?) and not go tanks at all? Because I know that tanks work well in big numbers and if I'm already going heavy thor and hellion, I wouldn't have an enough sized of tanks to be effective. Love your replays/strats.

Also, why do you get a raven? Is it for detection or just only for auto turret. Also when you're on 2 base going to get a 3rd, what makes you decide if you want to add more port to 2 ports or make more factories and what indicates if you want to get more thors or more hellions? Early on, after the first medivac is out, what makes you decide if you want a 2nd medivac or a banshee instead?

I really like your replays. Do you suggest going pure mech after that opening or get 4 raxes up with stim and combat shield. When should I go pure mech and when should I start getting raxes? Thanks!

What do you think I should transition to after seeing sling/bling/infestors. What I do is recognizing his lack of map control and get my 3rd and 4th really quickly and have an insane econ; however, I still don't know what unit comp to transition to midgame because thors get NP and hellions are useless after getting 1 good fungal while bioball just melts. Maybe mass thors + lots of banshees to snipe any infestors that are trying to NP? or just bioball but really heavy tanks? but then once they tech to BLs, it's gg for me because all my tanks become useless and infestors take care of everything else. Any air play is out of the question too. I seriously don't think ghosts is good though. 2700 masters here but don't know what to do, so after opening with this strat, what do you think is my best route?

I realize this is such a great 1/1/1 opening that can really transition into anything while pressuring a lot to zerg (because after the first attack, he might make a lot of lings, of which they could be drones, so then he kept making drones after that thinking no other attack could come and that he's already behind, to which the thor timing atk comes with scvs) and then of course a banshee which secures the expo from any banelingbust/counter attack and gain map control/scouting info. I also like to get a viking out after the banshee while my 2nd base is done to overlord hunt because I don't need a 2nd banshee and getting a 3rd medivac would be too early so the port would just sit idle anyway.
