I don't like an early marine / hellion push without upgrade. 2 hellions is not enough to be effective; either get more hellions before you push or get blue flame somehow. On top of that 8 marines without shield or stim are pretty bad too. I can't imagine any zerg taking damage to this push, considering a round of speedlings is more than enough to completely crush it. As for the battlecruiser, its going to be scouted. Speaking as zerg if I see a terran stay on 1 base for so long I know something ridiculous is up, and with a huge econ advantage (you get to freely drone 2 bases, cause your 2 hellion 8 marine push isn't gonna pressure very well) I'm content with sacrificing like 4 overlords or overseers until I see exactly what you're doing. At that point its ridiculously easy to counter 1 base bc just by stalling with hydras --> corruptors.

Overal a fun build you can do on a bad player but by no means competitive.



lol, did you watch the replay? ... you really have no idea how strong 3 hellions 7 marines with medivacs are lol

I do it on the ladder all the time.. i'm master lvl.. and high up there, what are you?


I'm in masters if thats relevant at all.

And no, I really don't feel this push is strong. Without stim or blue flame it's just gonna die to zerglings. If I know its coming i can deny it pretty easily. Of course if you don't see it coming, you can be in trouble, but that can be said of basically all terran aggresion

My concern is with how much gas this build uses on tech, you'll be very very limited with potential variations. You can of course make changes on the fly, but once you've got 2 starports, you're pretty much committed to going heavy air, and you're basically 100% stuck with BC's once that core goes down. You can make marines and hellions, and sure, you can do a ton of damage with your pressure, but there are still a ton of vulnerabilities as a result of having no room for variation, and even the slightest pressure that throws you off will slow you down and weaken your timing dramatically.

The first push basically needs to do a ton of damage, and the rest of it is just formality at that point.

I don't understand why he wouldn't know a thing or 2 about BC rushes.

I've been getting kind of bored picking the same race every game and if I ever consider playing terran doing these kinds of things seem like they would be fun

Unless the guy opens tank viking and doesn't die to the inital harass it seems like this could be pretty potent with the speed increase.


I've seen terrible people in master's. That proves nothing, and this seems like just another "Oh god, i hope he doesn't scout this!" tactics

Still, respect for making it work and i hope it grants you more wins against unsuspecting zergs.

Pride,

What do you usually win with? How often to the BCs actually change the game? Do you usually win or lose the game after the drop or banshee harass?

The build seems like a good place to start, but, it seems to me at least that corruptors/mutas in moderate number would do extremely well against this build and then there would still be a bunch of slings on the ground, which has me ify on whether or not to try it out.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea of using flying units in tvz (at least it isn't marine/tank), I would love to see some replays!

I have faced this once and I lost to it, partly because I scouted it a bit late. I went for mutas and that was a huge mistake as they deal zero damage to battle cruisers. Fast hydras is probably the right answer, even though I don´t really like that you need such a long time to get up mutas if he decides to expo instead of allinning.

The 'right' answer is a quick lair with immediate infestation pit after lair, followed by neural parasite to steal the BC and fungal growth to deal with the marines. This is quite rare, and it's probably too late by the time you scout the core.

Hello, this is a pretty cool build and i like the way it looks, but the OP is a bit disorganized a few things left out. If possible fix up the OP a bit, organize it some more, etc etc make it look more like you cared about your OP and you will get more positive responses.

As for the build its self i think it is a very cool build for the reason zerg does not have very powerful anti-air early on, around what time does this build hit and is there any follow ups? Have you tried taking an early expo and then continuing this build?

even a simple BC rush will own a zerg if not scouted, so probably yes ofc this would work xD

top 200 with 70% success? sounds great :D

uhh, that's how tvz works? if the z scouts something then he's in advantage, if t denies it then he's in advantage; there isn't much of a middle ground

Infestors are a terrible idea... especially against BCs/marines/hellions... infestors with Parasite in mind is almost always fail...

I will say pre patch ( assuming this is post patch which it looked like from the replay )... the correct response to this build is mass queens since you can kite the BCs really really easy... obviously not the case post patch... still it doesnt take many hydras or corruptors to shut down this rush...

I'd even do as far just massing roaches as soon as I seen the fusion core... if I scout double starport tech labs I ALWAYS go hydra den and skip spire because 2 port banshee is so annoying and easy to shut down with Hydras...

Again never played this build post patch but pre patch this was easy to deal with... I sat in the high 3k area of masters last season.
What if you tried your best and DIDN'T succeed.

I think this is the key point here. In order for your BC antics to do anything you need a very successful harass. But then again with a very successful harass you can win with just about anything. This thread should be renamed to something along the lines of "kill someone with marine/helion harass and finish them off with BC's cuz BC's are cool".

( Build order can only go so far, watch the replay )

Build order:
10 supply
13 refin.
15 orbital


The idea of this build is to do enough harass, stall enough time to get your bcs up and running.

-Factory as soon as you hit 100 gas *grab second gas* *build hellion*
-Starport as soon as Factory is completed
- Build 1 medivac as soon as Starport is completed
- Push out with 2 scvs on autorepair, 3 hellions, 6-8 marines [ assuming you never stopped your marine production]

-build core as soon as you push out, put up another starport.
-tech lab on both starport
-build first banshee to harass

PUMP out the first bc when you have even resources
-Push out with the first bc with banshee support
-start production on 2nd bc and from here, vikings/banshee depending on situation

I'm on my laptop currently, updating this tomorrow with more links to replays
NEED to sleep night night

let me know what you guys think
